The Bar Stack plug-in creates a stacked chart consisting of several Bar Charts.

Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> VisualDataTools

This page contains the following topics and procedures:

Bar Stack Properties

  • Initialize stacked chart: Refreshes the stacked chart, based on Bar Chart plug-ins in the sub-containers. The stacked chart detects when a chart is added/removed from the stack, and updates the chart accordingly. However, some actions, such as re-ordering the charts within a stack, are not updated automatically. In these cases, press Initialize stacked chart to update the stack.

  • Stack Gap: Adds space between each chart.

Note: The remaining properties in the Bar Stack plug-in are the same as used in Bar Chart. Bar Chart features Specify X Values, DataY Compare, and Bevel, are disabled in stacked charts.

To Create a Scene with Bar Stack

  1. Create a new container.

  2. Add a Bar Stack plug-in into this container.

  3. Add two or more Bar Chart plug-ins to become children of this container.

  4. Add Data Y into each chart. They should have the same number of nodes.

  5. In the settings of the Bar Stack plug-in, press Initialize Stacked Chart to refresh the chart.

  6. Use the Bar Stack plug-in to set the chart parameters that are common for all charts in the stack.
