Controlling the width of columns and cylinders?
QUESTION
How can I control the width of columns and cylinders?
ANSWER
The column or cylinder width can be controlled by 2 properties set on the category axis of your chart. For vertical charts the x axis is the category axis. For horizontal charts use the y axis.
Properties:
- Axis.SpacingPercentage
Gets or sets a percentage (0 - 100) which indicates the spacing between columns, cylinders or groups thereof.
- Axis.StaticColumnWidth
Gets or sets the static bar width in pixels.
Example
This code specifies the column or cylinder widths for a ChartType.Combo chart.
| [C#]
Chart.XAxis.SpacingPercentage = 30; // Default is 16
// When this property is set, it takes precedence over spacing percentage.
Chart.XAxis.StaticColumnWidth = 20;
|
| [Visual Basic]
' Default is 16
Chart.XAxis.SpacingPercentage = 30
' When this property is set, it takes precedence over spacing percentage.
Chart.XAxis.StaticColumnWidth = 20
