Hi

This sounds really an easy problem to fix, and I'm more than a little embarrassed to ask for a solution but...

When I plot any type of bar series I almost invariably end up with the final bar on the right hand side incomplete - its usually a slither of a bar thats no more than half the width it should be. How can I ensure that the final bar is the full width?

Hi Bruce,

If I just create a TBarSeries,

Code: Select all

uses Series;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Chart1.AddSeries(TBarSeries).FillSampleValues();
end;

it looks fine to me:

So I guess you have set some property in the bottom axis that is cutting it.
Ie, if I set a maximum in the bottom axis:

Code: Select all

  Chart1.Axes.Bottom.AutomaticMaximum:=False;
  Chart1.Axes.Bottom.Maximum:=5;

If we force the axis maximum as above, then the chart isn't adding any extra margin to fit the bar width:

In that case, you can use MaximumOffset property to manually set an extra margin and avoid that:

Code: Select all

  Chart1.Axes.Bottom.MaximumOffset:=35;

If this isn't helping you, please arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here.

Hi Yeray

That's the property I was looking for and forgot!

Thanks a lot.
