Space between groups of bars in a bar chart

[#1]

Hi!

I have a bar chart with 4 groups of bars, buts it's hard to see where one group ends and the next starts. I have chosen the largest space one can (Presentation -> Cluster Distance = 8).

Any suggestions on how I can imporve the usability of the graph?

Hi,

Just try resizing the chart or did you try 'allow thin bars''

[#3]

Resizing doesn't help. I allow them to maximize the graph but still it's har d to see start and end.

I already allow thin bars, but there is no visual effect with the checkbox ticked or not...

I would like larger space or a line or some kind of color coding in the background (like pyjama table but vertically. if you see what I mean.)

I suggest that you set the bar distance to 0, cluster distance to 8, turn off thin bars and you could also turn on the dimension axis gridlines.

Thanks for your suggestions, but I need something else. This is not enought unfortunetly.

I would like to have the grid lines where the group ends/starts, and not in the middle...

I use this thread again for my problem, which is mainly the same as the original poster posted.

We really desperately need a fix to this annoying problem. The cluster distance is set to 8 in this screenshot, which is a joke, as you can see. Our customers are really annoyed by this now, that QlikView behaves so strangely on bar charts.

Why is there a cap to the bar distance at all?

I cannot think of a better graph to view such a scenario. Pie charts didn't work, because the values are to equal. You get a pie chart that has nearly 13 even big segments.
