I am programatically building a chart with a number of Tbarseries each of which is set to mbStacked.
The points are being added with addXY(x,y,'label').
3d is turned off.

However while the rectangles have the correct colour, x-axis value and height (from the y-value). The base of many of the rectangles seems to be incorrectly calculated. This means that my bars have gaps and overlaps.

Any suggestions?

Hi, Chris.

The stacking algorithm will work correctly *only* if all series have the same number of points and point x values coincide. If this is not the case, you'll have to use AddNullXY method to add "missing points". I'd use the following approach:

1) Make a list of all available (pool) of x values.
2) For individual series, cycle through (1) and use AddXY if point (x,y) exists and AddNullXY if specific point (x,y) does not exist for this series.

Thanks Marjan,

worked like a charm
