How to handle short bars in bar chart

[Eric]

I've got a bar chart in which some of the bars are very short, so short I can't click on them, how are you guys handling this issue?

Hello Eric,

You may consider using a logarithmic Y axis scale, in case you have data with a big range. This way there would not be any bars that are too small and the visual representation of the data would be much clearer as well. You can find more information on the feature in this help topic and also in our Logarithmic Scale demo example.

All the best,

I'll look at the logarithmic scale. 

Is it possible to make the chart labels clickable so they have the same behavior as clicking on the bar?

Hi Eric,

Yes, it is possible to make the item labels clickable. You would have to create a style for the SeriesItemLabel that sets the IsHitTestVisible property to true. This approach is demonstrated in the attached application.

Hope this helps.

All the best,
