I am facing problem with bar chart as the size of bar is so large when data is available for one country/column. when we set it using overlap & gap width property as small bar it looks very small when countries/columns are larger in number.
How we can fix the Bar size dynamically so it looks good on reports when ever values shown are small or larger in numbers.

Hi,
I am also facing the similar kind of problem like ,i would like to have the fixed bar size for the stacked bar report .But in my report , the bar size is varying depends on the no of divisions on x axis.Is it possible to have the fixed Bar size by setting 'overlap & gap width property' ?If so how to set it?I dont see any option to set the same in Crystal report X1.

If all else fails, this capability is built into our CRChart add-in product for Crystal Reports.

Hi Ammu,
I do not know how to do this with "standard" CR XI Developer.
It CAN be done if you happen to purchase my CRChart plug-in. I created a number of special macros, like @MIN_GROUPS, just to solve these kind of issues.

I suggest you download the free demo version of our software and play with some of the macros like @MIN_GROUPS. In 5 minutes you will probably solve a number of graph issues that will hopefully make your bosses want to purchase the software!

Hi DAN,
I had a look at the site.The example is showing different bar size for different groups With the @MIN_GROUPS macro.

Hi Dan/Ammu, I have checked that macro its working fine but i have to purchase that DLL that’s increasing cost. So currently I am using the following solution. You could create multiple charts, each placed in its own section where you adjust the bar width depending upon how many "on change of" values there might be and also conditionally suppress the section on the same basis, e.g., It will used to avoid the large size bar when data is available for less then three value. ------------- Regards, Amitk |

Hi Amit,
Thnaks for you r reply.I had thought about the soluntion what you have told me.But it can not be applicable in m y case as i have to go for more than 5 graphs.Another problem is that in one rpt file itself has more than 3 graphs.
