[Solved] Expanding RadChart to Fill Empty Space Programmatically

[Corey]

Hi,

I'm working with a RadChart placed inside a grid with 3 rows and 3 columns.  I'm trying to have my RadChart cover the entire first row.  I have placed it in row 0, column 0, and set its column span = 3.  Note that I have removed the ChartLegend and Axis' labels because I only wish to view the charts and hopefully add tooltips later on.

However, as you can see in my picture, my RadChart is incredibly small, covering only 1/3 (the center) of the columns.  I've tried searching for some solutions, and read up on the AutoLayout feature of a RadChart.  Does this feature exist for Silverlight?  And if so, is there any way to access it in the code-behind (I don't use much XAML)?

Please help me figure out why my RadChart isn't automatically expanding to cover the entire row.

Thanks.

Hi Corey,

As far as I can see, you're using a 3D bar series for the RadChart. Unfortunately, the behavior you've observed is a limitation in 3D charts - a 3D chart has a fixed ratio for the height and width of the plot area and it cannot be overridden. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I am indeed using a 3D chart.  Is there any plan in the future to allow changing the ratio?

Hello Corey,

I'm afraid there are no plans to change this particular behavior of the RadChart.
