  Minimum width for boxes in box-whisker charts
Posted by Tony on Aug-16-2012 17:30
Hi,

I'm using ChartDirector from Python to draw box-whisker charts - using only the boxes, not the whiskers. Because of the nature of the data and the space available to draw the chart, many of the boxes are zero pixels wide and hence invisible.

Is there any way to force them to be visible? A minimum width in pixels, for example?

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

If the box-whisker symbol is becoming very thin, you should at least see the border of the boxl. Have you set the box border color to Transparent? If you have set the border color to Transparent, please set it to SameAsMainColor instead. For example, in Java/C#/VB.NET, instead of using Chart.Transparent, please use Chart.SameAsMainColor.

You can also use BaseBoxLayer.setDataWidth to set the symbol width. Note that if the symbol width is 2 pixels or less, only the border will be visible, and nothing will be visible if the border is Transparent.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Thanks, Peter; I can see all the boxes now.
