[Solved] Bar chart with date x-axis

[Andy Macourek]

I have seen plenty of examples with bar charts using a category x-axis.  I started with a line chart with a date x-axis and I wanted to make it into a column chart.  I changed the series from Line to Bar and all of the bars are wide and overlapping.  What property do I use to make the items skinny columns?

I figured it out.  I changed the border width in the data template.

<telerik:BarSeries.PointTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <Border Width="5">
            <Border.Background>
                <SolidColorBrush Color="CornflowerBlue" />
            </Border.Background>
        </Border>
    </DataTemplate>
</telerik:BarSeries.PointTemplate>

Hello, Andy 

I am glad to know that you figured out a solution.

There is yet another way to alter the width of the generated Bars and this may be achieved by using the GapLength property of the Date-time axis. The property works in logical units within the [0,1] range.

Do not hesitate to write us back in case you have other question/problem with our tools.
