# barPercentage

barPercentage: number

Percent (0-1) of the available width each bar should be within the category width. 1.0 will take the whole category width and put the bars right next to each other.

default 0.9

# Defined in

index.esm.d.ts:109 (opens new window)


# barThickness

barThickness: number | "flex"

Manually set width of each bar in pixels. If set to 'flex', it computes "optimal" sample widths that globally arrange bars side by side. If not set (default), bars are equally sized based on the smallest interval.

# clip

clip: number | false | ChartArea

How to clip relative to chartArea. Positive value allows overflow, negative value clips that many pixels inside chartArea. 0 = clip at chartArea. Clipping can also be configured per side: clip: {left: 5, top: false, right: -2, bottom: 0}

# Inherited from
