So i have been using ignition for a week and have some most things working ok ( we are only interested in Perspective side of the program at the moment), however i am wondering, is there any way to turn a XY CHart into a Bar Chart?

I feel this is most likely a stupid question but i cant see any data to switch between types but perhaps i am blind.

Thanks

Set the `XYCHart.props.series[x].render` property to “column”.

Needing a little help on the bar chart. I have a XYChart and have populated a dataset with points. I am setting an XYCHart.props.series[x].render property to “column” however it does not render the columns. It does render if it is set as a line. Any help would be appreciated.
