Horizontal Bar Charts?

General

Hi

Does anyone know if it’s possible to create horizontal bar charts in a DesktopChart?

Thanks

Chris

No it doesn’t but I do have a feature request for it:

DesktopChart: Please support HorizontalBar as a chart type

Thanks very much Ian. Hopefully it will come soon. The horizontal can be very restrictive for a lot of columns

Chris, If you don’t want to wait, there is always the MonkeyBread ChartDirector plug-in (separate purchase from the main plug-in package).

Thanks Paul. I already do, but I find it cumbersome to use for what I want and pretty slow creating high res charts. Also, the text never looks as good as Xojos when printed

You could also try my open source chart control

Thanks Jeremie! I’ll give it a go. Is that your own work?

You’re welcome.
Yes it’s my work, but hasn’t been updated for the past 5 years, it is still API1

Nice one! and thanks. I’m happy out with API1 :smiley:

Hi, sorry, I’m new to this platform and in this development environment, a few days ago I had the same problem, I did some research but I didn’t conclude anything so I did the only thing possible, I built it myself, simple and functional, just for my purpose and it works, after some time I imagine you have solved it so I wish you a good day, bye :smiling_face:
