Bar Chart Chart Area Not resizing based on dynamic data

[Laura]

Hello all, 

 

I am dynamically binding a bar chart and I thought the chart area would dynamically change based on the data for the chart, but that is not the case. Instead the height stays fixed and the data becomes squished so you can't see it (see attached image). I know I can dynamically change the chartarea value by setting a value, but the number of bars is ever changing. What can be done to fix this?

Hello Laura,

Take a look at my example illustrating how to change the height of the bar chart depending on the total records in the chart.   

Take a look at this code:

//Per each record, the height is increased by 20.
var h = blogComments.length * 20;
$("#chart").height(h);

20 can be changed if you would like it smaller or larger.

Hopefully, this helps clear things.
