Color problem on Column3D when there are many data points

[Brian Maring]

When I make a column3D chart with let's say 50 points it looks great! However, If I try 500, not so good. The borders mix with the bar colorsand it does not look so good. Would it be possible to eliminate all borders/spacing between columns in this case?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Hello Brian,

Could you please try setting showPlotBorder='0' in the <chart> element ? By doing this all the Column borders are eliminated

On a column chart, there is spacing defined between two columns. By default, the spacing is set to 20% of canvas width. If you intend to increase or decrease the spacing between columns, you can do so using plotSpacePercent attribute. For example, if you wanted all columns to stick to each other without any space in between, you can set plotSpacePercent='0'. Similarly, if you want very thin columns, you can set plotSpacePercent to its max value of 80.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot,

 

 

 

I've also noticed that in a 3D Column graph, the bottom of the columns are much darker than the tops.

 

 

 

Is there a way to make the column a constant color?

 

 

 

plotGradientColor is not a valid attribute for Column3D, but I am looking for the equivalent of plotGradientColor='' in Column2D.

Hello Brian,

You can try adding use3DLighting='0' in the <chart> element to make the column a constant/solid color.

I hope this helps.

This graph should be solid blue when increasing and solid red when decreasing. Notice how there are alternating vertical lines of lighter and darker blue within the blue regions. Is there any way to make sure that only one color of blue appears?

Hello Brian,

 

 

 

We worked on the xml sent by you.

 

 

 

I'm afraid the vertical lines of lighter and darker blue for it is a 3D column chart.

 

 

 

You can try using the Column2D chart where this issue will not arise.
