Floating Column Chart

[John]

Hi there,

I am wondering if there is any support for a floating column chart.  I tried to make my own by creating a Series with a white background, however, the column itself has a gray border.

Hi John,

In order to make the Floating Column chart scenario you want, you should use a transparent color for  the ColumnSeries that is below the green one from the screenshot , but we are aware of a problem with setting a transparent color in the RadHtmlChart.

However, setting the color property won't affect the border of the series items, so a better solution would be to add an Opacity property for the series. This property would control the appearance of all the elements for the series item, so that you can set a transparent color  for  the border's as well. That is why I have logged this visual improvement in our Feedback portal. As more and more people vote for it, we will increase the priority of this task and provide it to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for the tip.  I've devised a temporary solution to hide the gray borders..

<style type="text/css">
    g path[stroke="#cccccc"]
    {
        opacity: 0;
    }

    g path[fill="#ffffff"][stroke="#cccccc"]
    {
        opacity: 0;
    }
</style>

John, just want to say thank you. Your style idea helped me with my problem...making the column series border transparent!!

Telerik, i suggest using this as a workaround for people who want to make their column series border transparent until( if you do at all!) make this a configurable option.

<style type="text/css">
        g path[stroke="#000000"] {
            opacity: 0;
        }
</style>

Hello All,

Such a feature request about controlling the appearance of the series border has already been logged in our feedback portal here, so that you can monitor, comment or raise its priority by voting on it.

I have also updated the feedback item so that the opacity property can also be set.

Hi All,

We have scheduled the implementation of the floating column chart type a.k.a. range column series for Q3 2014, so that if everything is fine you can expect it then. The feature will be similar to KendoUI's Range Bar Charts.
