Bar Chart - How to show single category with the same size (Thickness)

sridhar_m — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 14:46:11 GMT

Dear All,

I am creating Bar Chart with single category, but it's look very odd in the size when it's display.

I mean if you have more than one variable it will display in good look. Where as if it's a single variable it's looks odd.

Attaching screenshot for your reference and please let me know your valuable suggestion.

I am using SAS Viya - V3.5

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

SRi

Hello Sri,

Do you want the bar in the first chart to have the same width as the bars in the second chart? The width of bars is automatically set and I don't think you can override this to set a specific width.

Or did you have something else in mind?

If the first chart will always have a single value for the Category variable, you might try changing the Grouping Style option, or changing the Group variable in that chart to be the Category variable. Either of these will draw a separate bar for each value (CT1, CT2, etc) in the first chart instead of a "stacked" bar chart.

Dear Sam,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Yes, actually I am looking for the first chart to have the same width(thinkness) as the bars in the second chart.

I don't think it is possible to specify the absolute width of bars in VA.

You could do this as a third-party (D3, for example) visualization using the Data-Driven Content object, but that would be a significant amount of work to configure.
