[SOLVED] Overlapping bars in bar graph

Hi,

I'm trying to build a custom made graph using webfocus but I really wanted to use a bar graph with the bars overlapping.

I've messing around with graph assistant with no luck what so ever. Using an area chart/graph you get the intended effect but not with bars. I cannot use stacked bars because it doesn't have the same meaning I need.

My goal is something like this:



Any one?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

When I looked at this my first thought was that's a stacked graph. So, what does stacked give you that the meaning isn't the same?

Thanks for your reply Pat,

The main difference for me is that I want to represent absolute values for each of the bars, stacked bars will sum the two series so the top of the highest bar will be inline with the value of the sum of both. Although when you put your pointer over each one the tooltip will give the right value only by looking you will not get the real value. Stacked are well adjusted for series that can be aggregated.

Either way I managed to solve my question (by accident).
If I define my graph as:
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VLINE

and then define each bar series as Bar:
setSeriesType(0,1);

the bars will be overlapped as the main graph type is going to overlap all lines.

Thanks anyway.
Pedro
