hello,

i'm trying to create a bar chart, but i can't get the grid and the bars to align. This is because every set of bars has a spacing of about 8px, while the spacing between the bars themselves can be manualy been set i cannot find an option to set this other spacing. what can i do to set this spacing? (or rather have it take the value of the bar spacing)

thanks, kevin

Fwiw, I wanted to achieve the same thing, here's a small patch that I came up with

I would need this in Views integration as well, Bar charts look very weird with those small spacing

Example
Weird Bar Chart with this module

As I understand it may be possible to rotate as well the titles?
