Bar Charts - possible to fix widths of columns ??

    Hi,

    Is it possible to fix the max width of the columns ?? Sometime the report only generates 1 or 2 columns and it looks a bit odd as they're stretched to the width of the page.

    Also, when we have a large number of culumns, say 20 odd the legend text get's real squashed up and un readable, are there any tips/tricks so i can have more flexibility over what's displayed ?

    thanks

    I don't know a way of fixing column sizes. But I can help you with the legend. The best way is to create you own, which also enables you to size the chart better as legend is nolonger part of it.

    The URL below links to an excellent article explaining how to do all sorts of things with charts. I would rate as a must read for anyone trying to do anything above simple charts. Look for the section "Custom Chart Color Palettes and Legends"
