As You can see, there are two axes with two bar series assigned to each axis. Is it possible to align all series with the same axis side to side? If I set Multibar to mbSide all series are aligned in the same Z-Depth, but each series should remain in the Z-Depth of its axis.

Thanks

Hi Stephan,

I misunderstood your problem. There's a way to place all the Series at the same zposition , by using the code below :

Chart1.ApplyZOrder := False;
Chart1.Invalidate;

But as, all the Bar series have the same XValues it will show all the Series overlapped.

[Stephan]

Hi Pep!

I dont want the Series to be overlapped.

The bars of the two Series "Tier 2 ..." should be aligned side to side. The bars of the two Series "Tier 1 ..." should be aligned side to side too, but they should remain in the back of the graph with a different Z-Depth, which is set to the axis of these Series.

Hi Stephan,

I'm afraid this is not going to be possible to do with the latest TeeChart Pro version, there's not a way to specify a zposition for specific groups of Series.
