I am trying to create a chart with 2 sets of data. Each set has 2 bars which I would like to have in front of each other but then I want the sets to be side by side. I am trying to use StackGroup but cannot get the layout I want. Here is a sample of what I have:

Code: Select all

for( int i = 1; i <= 2; i++ )
{
   Bar totalBar = new Bar( wc.Chart);
   totalBar.StackGroup = i;
   totalBar.MultiBar = MultiBars.None;

   // (Populate bar with data)
 
  Bar ngBar = new Bar( wc.Chart);
   ngBar.StackGroup = i;
   ngBar.MultiBar = MultiBars.None;

  // (Populate bar with data)
}

Is it possible to have the ngBar in front of the totalBar but then have the StackGroups side by side?

Hello MAD,

Is it possible to have the ngBar in front of the totalBar but then have the StackGroups side by side?

We made a simple example, that solve your problem. Please check that example works as you would.

Code: Select all

        private void InitializeChart()
        {
            tChart1.Aspect.View3D = false;

            Random y = new Random();
                for (int i = 1; i <= 2; i++)
                {
                Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar totalBar = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar(tChart1.Chart);
                Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar ngBar = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar(tChart1.Chart);

                totalBar.MultiBar = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.MultiBars.None;
                ngBar.MultiBar = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.MultiBars.None;

                totalBar.Marks.Visible = false;
                ngBar.Marks.Visible = false;

                totalBar.BarWidthPercent = 50;
                ngBar.BarWidthPercent = 50;

                for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
                {
                double tmp = (i == 1) ? -0.25 : 0.25;
                double x = j + tmp;
                totalBar.Add(x, y.Next());
                ngBar.Add(x, y.Next());
                }
                }

                for (int k = 0; k < tChart1.Series.Count; k++)
                {
                tChart1[k].ZOrder = k % 2;
                }
            
        }

I hope will helps.

Thanks,

Thanks for your help! My x values are dates but I was able to use this same technique by subtracting or adding 4 hours to the date.
