Multiple Series On Top Of Each Other

[Jason Van Dusen]

If I have two series, is it possible to show the second series on top of the first?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Basically what I am trying to do is show an overlap in time as a red bar and the rest of the bar as a different color.

I figured it out.

myChart.Appearance.BarOverlapPercent = 100

Hello Jason,

The default behavior of the RadChart to horizontally split the available space can be worked around by giving different X values for each of the series. Here is a short example:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        Random random = new Random(0x65412);

        InitializeComponent();

        ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries();
        ChartSeries coverSeries = new ChartSeries();
        series.Type = ChartSeriesType.Gantt;
        coverSeries.Type = ChartSeriesType.Gantt;
        coverSeries.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            ChartSeriesItem item = new ChartSeriesItem();
            item.YValue2 = random.Next(50, 100);
            item.YValue = random.Next(150, 200);
            item.XValue = i;
            series.Items.Add(item);

            ChartSeriesItem coverItem = new ChartSeriesItem();
            coverItem.YValue2 = random.Next(105, 120);
            coverItem.YValue = random.Next(130, 145);
            coverItem.XValue = i + 0.0001;
            coverSeries.Items.Add(coverItem);
        }

        this.radChart1.Series.Add(series);
        this.radChart1.Series.Add(coverSeries);
    }
}

As you can see, the index of the respective item is used as it's X value, but for the second series, a constant of 0.0001 is added. That will make the chart to draw the second series on top of the first one.
