Stacked Bar Confusion

[User (Legacy)]

I'm having some simple trouble getting a stacked bar graph to look the way I

need it to and I've attached a sample of the image I'm getting.

What I'm looking for is to have BLUE between -1 and -.2

Then RED betwen -.2 through the zero line and up to .7

Then Green to the top.

Thanks!

            .Gallery = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Gallery.Bar

            .Stacked = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Stacked.Normal

            .AxisY.ForceZero = False

            .OpenData(Cfx.COD.Values, 4, 1)

            .Value(0, 0) = -1

            .Value(1, 0) = -0.2

            .Value(2, 0) = 0.7

            .Value(3, 0) = 2.3

            .Point(0, 0).Color = Color.Blue

            .Point(1, 0).Color = Color.Red

            .Point(2, 0).Color = Color.Red

            .Point(3, 0).Color = Color.Green

            .AxisX.Label(0) = "Ranges"

            .AxisY.Grid.Width = 0.5

            .CloseData(Cfx.COD.Values)

            .AxisY.Max = 2.3

            .AxisY.Min = -1

Stacked charts are used to ACCUMULATE the values, you don't pass the value 

where you want the bar to end, instead you pass the difference with respect 

to the previous bar.

I think what you want is NOT a stacked chart but a bar chart where you can 

control where each bar starts and ends, you can achieve this with the 

following code:

.Gallery = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Gallery.Bar

.Cluster = True

.OpenData(COD.Values, 3, 1)

.OpenData(COD.IniValues, 3, 1)

.IniValue(0, 0) = -1

.IniValue(1, 0) = -0.2

.IniValue(2, 0) = 0.7

.Value(0, 0) = -0.2

.Value(1, 0) = 0.7

.Value(2, 0) = 2.3

.Point(0, 0).Color = Color.Blue

.Point(1, 0).Color = Color.Red

.Point(2, 0).Color = Color.Green

.AxisX.Label(0) = "Ranges"

.AxisY.Grid.Width = 0.5

.CloseData(COD.Values)

.CloseData(COD.IniValues)

.AxisY.Max = 2.3

.AxisY.Min = -1

That was it exactly!

Thanks

The code listed works for 2D but in 3D the individual bars that make up the 

"stacked" bar don't line up in the z-axis. Is there anyway to make them line 

up? The volume property of the series seems to be the only way to control 

this but that can only make them touch not overlap and stack up. Thanks.

For this you will have to stay with Stacked with all the implications of it 

(all the problems Italo was having).

In the new version (7) we have added a way to make the bars Side-By-Side or 

Cluster independent of the "3D Cluster" setting, this allows you to have 

"non side-by-side bars) in a non-3D- cluster chart. which is what you need.

There is only one problem though, since the bars are in the same Z, they 

need to be in the right order otherwise the projection of one will draw on 

top of the other, once you chose an order, you will be limited to a range of 

rotation angles (X-Axis) that will work. For example if you lay out the bars 

so that the first series is the one on top, you can not look at this chart 

from underneath, if you do it will look all wrong.
