Reduce the size of a bar chart

[gdilullo]

Can I reduce the size of a bar chart(histogram)? I could only find a way to reduce the text on the graph (from the property), but not the bars on the axes.

Is it possible?

Thanks

But I don't know why I can't change the size of the bars (Symbol Size and Line/Symbol Settings).

Depends on the chart you choose.

If you choose a Line Chart you can control the line properties.

But you can change the bar settings

Hi

U can try below script..Change DimensionName

=

If (len(Trim([DimensionName]))>30,Left([DimensionName],15)&chr(10)&Mid([DimensionName],16,15)&Chr(10)&Mid([DimensionName],31),
If (Len(Trim([DimensionName]))>15,Left([DimensionName],15)&chr(10)&Mid([DimensionName],16),[DimensionName]

))

After edit ur dimension field,it will be looks like below

Hope after try this not necessary to reduce the size of a bar chart.

So I can't reduce the bar's length. But is it possible have the text on multiple lines? My problem is that the description (text) in the graph is cut.

This script doesn't work in my chart because It cut the description

You can stop the bar chart starting at zero if you uncheck Forced 0 on the Axes tab and could shorten long bar lengths. Also, when the object is selected, press Ctrl+Shift (keeping them pressed) and the object components will show a red keyline around them whereby they can be dragged into different positions/sizes. This may help.

Done.
