Stacked bar chart

[smcmickens]

Is there a way to have the marks on a stacked bar chart display on "top" of the bar the mark applies to instead of "behind" the next bar on the stack? Also, is there a way to have it where each series containing a stacked bar is sorted by the actual value of the y axis and not the label?

Hi,

the easiest way to move marks inside is to set marks arrowlength property to negative value. Another possibility (a bit more complicated, but more customizable) is to move marks by using custom positioning.

Thanks, that worked. Is there a way you can display the total of all values in the stack at the end of the stack? Also, how can you get it to where each stack is sorted by the actual value instead of the label? For example, I have a graph that displays the number of times a safety incident has occured for each supervisor by type of incident in the plant. When I use stack horizontal bars, it displays the number of incidents by each type for each supervisor in the order of incident type and not in the order of number of incidents. Is there a way of having it sort by number of incidents for each supervisor?

Yes, one way could be to customize the Mark of one series in the OnGetMarkText and make the other Marks Series invisible.

For example, I have a graph that displays the number of times a safety incident has occured for each supervisor by type of incident in the plant.

Yes, you can use the Order property :
Code :

Code: Select all

horizBar1.XValues.Order = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.ValueListOrder.Ascending;
horizBar1.XValues.Sort();
horizBar1.YValues.FillSequence();
horizBar2.XValues.Order = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.ValueListOrder.Ascending;
horizBar2.XValues.Sort();
horizBar2.YValues.FillSequence();
