The issue was raised in [How to add space between category bars - XY Chart](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-add-space-between-category-bars-xy-chart/47966) and the fix is a bit of a kludge. (The solution was to add in some non-displaying columns using a binding transform.)

To get the columns to touch set `PROPS.series.0.column.appearance.width` = 100. Repeat for the columns 1, 2, etc.
