Hello all,
I’m working on an XY chart in Ignition 8.1; I’m relatively new to Ignition. I’ve got my head wrapped around multiple axes, z-indexing, and the like to create a bar chart that has some overlapping bars. The bars have some meaning relative to each other. For example, one bar might show how much total product has been produced. The next few bars, stacked on each other and rendered on a higher z-index, might represent the portion of that product which has been sold, shipped, and is still in the warehouse. It could look something like this:
Which is fine to use. But it would look excellent if I could somehow align all the bars on their left edge to create something which looks a bit more intuitive.
I found a way the bars could be shifted here, but I’m so far unable to replicate this within Ignition mostly due to not knowing where/if the property can be set. It also only uses a px shift, while I would hope to use a %-based shift or something similar. So my question has two parts:
-
How (if possible) could this be done?
-
Is there somewhere I could look at how Ignition sends data to components to check what is and isn’t possible here? As fun as posting on the forums is, not every little curiosity I have deserves its own post. The documentation also misses some things which I’ve gotten working by trial and error, such as manipulating the chart labels via
xAxes[axisIndex].renderer.labelsconfigurations.
