one graph with multiple bar plots

[benedict1986]

Hi all, I have a question about plotting multiple barchart plots in one graph. Currently my code is

<ni:Graph.Plots>
                    <ni:Plot Label="Up Time">
                        <ni:BarPlotRenderer Stroke="#7FFF0000" Fill="#7FFF0000" StrokeThickness="2" BarWidth="0.8"/>
                    </ni:Plot>
                    <ni:Plot Label="Down Time" >
                        <ni:BarPlotRenderer Stroke="#7FFFFF00" Fill="#7FFFFF00" StrokeThickness="2" BarWidth="0.4"/>
                    </ni:Plot>
                </ni:Graph.Plots>

However. these two bar plots overlap with each other for the same index in X axis. What I what to have is that for the same index in X axis, two bars stand side by side, rather than overlap with each other. Can any one give any instructions how to get it? Thank you.

The Measurement Studio graphs do not currently support "business-style" side-by-side bar charts. You could define a custom renderer to draw bars differently, but a simpler solution may be to adjust the data that the bar renderer uses.

I have attached a custom RangeScaleKind that supports two side-by-side bar plots by shifting the index data each plot draws against. Assign it to the horizontal axis with a reference to your graph: xAxis.ScaleKind = new BarShiftScaleKind( graph );.
