Position of Bars

[NickZ]

Hello, 
I created a simple bar series chart.  Every looks fine except the postion of bars.  There are three bars, the middle one is centered, the left one is aligned to left and right one is aligned to right.  How can I put left and right bars in the center of its own section.  I attach an image of my chart. 
Thank a lot for your help.

Hi Shilong,

The issue with Bars alignment occurs because you created 3 Series with single Bar in each. When the ChartArea is populated with 3 series for example, RadChart makes each Bar with Width = 1/3 of the space between each two Major Tickpoints. This way the three Bar items (from the three series) which have XAxis=1 will be positioned accordingly.
What I can suggest is that you create single DataSerie with 3 items instead of 3 DataSeries with 1 item. To make them colored differently just set the LegendDisplayMode property of the SeriesDefinition  to DataPointLabel and set LegendLabel for each of the DataPoints as shown in our help topic. 
Here is how you can achieve this declaratively:

<control:RadChart x:Name="chart">
            <control:RadChart.DefaultView>
                <chart:ChartDefaultView>

                    <!--ChartArea-->
                    <chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>

                        <chart:ChartArea LegendName="CustomLegend">
                            <chart:ChartArea.DataSeries>
                                <chart:DataSeries LegendLabel="Store Sales">
                                    <chart:DataSeries.Definition>
                                        <chart:BarSeriesDefinition LegendDisplayMode="DataPointLabel" />
                                    </chart:DataSeries.Definition>
                                    <chart:DataPoint YValue="15" LegendLabel="Telerik" />
                                    <chart:DataPoint YValue="5" LegendLabel="Microsoft"/>
                                    <chart:DataPoint YValue="11" LegendLabel="Others"/>
                                </chart:DataSeries>
                            </chart:ChartArea.DataSeries>
                        </chart:ChartArea>

                    </chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>

                    <!--ChartLegend-->
                    <chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
                        <chart:ChartLegend x:Name="CustomLegend" />
                    </chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>

                    <!--ChartTitle-->
                    <chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>
                        <chart:ChartTitle Content="Sales Summary" />
                    </chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>

                </chart:ChartDefaultView>
            </control:RadChart.DefaultView>
        </control:RadChart>
