Set bar width!

[Mark]

How can I set the width of all the bars in a large series to a certain #pixel???
(Since the series is large I get a huge overlapping of all the bars)

Hello Mark,

You can customize the bar width via the BarOverLapPercent / BarWidthPercent properties as described here (note, however, that these are percentage values and not pixel ones).

Hope this helps.


All the best,

Hi Manuel,

I was just about to add that the BarWidthPercent property doesn't help since it reduces the bar to the left and shifts it so that it is not aligned with the x-axis ticks and lables. When I have a serie of over 100 points and reduce the BarWidthPercent to 2M I get a shift of over 7 points regarding the x-axis ticks.
Any ideas???

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

We are not quite sure what do you mean by the statement that BarWidthPercent reduces the bar to the left and causes mis-alignment of the chart elements -- are you applying any custom margins or settings to the chart elements? We have attached a sample application that demonstrates setting BarWidthPercent does not cause problematic behavior on its own.

Let us know if we are missing something out.

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for the example, it helped me realize that the problem was that I entered XValue for every ChartSeriesItem in the serie. If you take the example you provided and give each ChartSeriesItem an XValue (simple ordered numbers from 0 to 36) you will see that the bars do not align with the ticks on the x-axis...

Thaks.

This is an issue for me too since i am using datetime in the xaxis and want to add the bar at a specific time.

Hello,

Indeed, this seems to be a bug in the control. Our developers are already aware of it and the fix should be in the next release.

Is there anyway to get notified when this fix is available, I too am encountering this problem.
