Defining margins, bar width, and bar gap

In the Chart Properties dialog box, use the following fields to define margins, bar width, and bar gap:

Left margin	The distance between the first bar and the left side of the chart.
Right margin	The distance between the last bar and the right side of the chart.
Bar width	The width of each bar.
Bar gap	The distance between two bars.

If the Absolute option is selected, the units are in millimeters. Otherwise the units are relative to the logical graph X-axis.

Example 12

Relative units

In this example, the bar width is set to 10 units. The table below shows the bar width (% of X-axis) for three different X-axis settings.

Span (X-axis)	Units total (X-axis)	Bar width (% of X-axis)
0...100	100-0=100	10/100=10%
0...50	100-50=50	10/50=20%
-10...50	50+10=60	10/60=16.7%
