Bar width keeps changing

Desktop SDK - Chart Components
1

Hello,

Is there any way to keep the bar width a fixed size, regardless of other actions on the chart?

I often pull the time (x) axis of the chart left or right .

Sometimes this resizes the bar width .

thanks

Right click > data series > and you’ll find the settings for bar width.

In case this helps……
Sounds like it could be a ‘glitch’ that existed since NT7, & the following is from the cobwebs of my memory, not something I’ve done in a long time.
That even if you select the bar width, if you stretch the axis ‘too far’ that value gets ‘overridden’, resulting in a wider bar. It doesn’t then revert if you then un-stretch the axis, & have to go back in to bar width setting where you’ll see a larger value than you set, & have to change it back.
IF this is what is happening for you, then a way of overcoming is to stretch the x-axis way beyond anything you’re likely to stretch it to in use, set your preferred bar width in this state, and then shrink the axis to whatever you want to use.
Simply put, you want to set the width setting at an axis stretch that you will never exceed, such that you won’t trigger the behaviour it seems to me that you’re experiencing. The bar width setting field is not treated as an absolute value.

Or maybe that’s not it at all, and/maybe the above was fixed in NT8 :rofl:
