Space between bar groups

[Dave Cox]

Hello,

How do I change the space between the groups of bars on each day (or whatever time period)? The example shows the space between each bar group (red circle) that I want to make smaller.

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

You could try setting a bigger BarWidthPercent for the TBarSeries in your chart.
Here it is a simple example using a TrackBar to modify this property:

Code: Select all

uses Series;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var i: Integer;
begin
  for i:=0 to 3 do
    Chart1.AddSeries(TBarSeries).FillSampleValues();

  TrackBar1.Max:=100;
  TrackBar1.Min:=0;
  TrackBar1.Position:=(Chart1[0] as TBarSeries).BarWidthPercent;
  TrackBar1.Frequency:=10;
end;

procedure TForm1.TrackBar1Change(Sender: TObject);
var i: Integer;
begin
  for i:=0 to chart1.SeriesCount-1 do
    (Chart1[i] as TBarSeries).BarWidthPercent:=TrackBar1.Position;
end;

Hello Yeray,

Thanks for the reply.

I must be missing something as changing the BarWidthPercent does not have any effect on the bar chart. Is there a setting I need to change to enable BarWidthPercent?

Hello Dave,

This works fine for me here with the attached project from the code Yeray posted. I'm using our latest TeeChart sources, which will be out on a new release very soon, which TeeChart version are you using? Does the project work fine for you?

Hi Narcis,

Yes, the project example you gave me works, but the same code does not work in my application. What I am wondering is if there is a setting that needs to be changed to allow the scaling of the BarWidthPercent. For example, an automatic scale that needs to be set to true or false?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

In that case look at the .dfm in my project as text to see if there's any property that makes a difference.

Not that I can think of. Are you setting axes scales manually?
