Chart column widths

How do I specify a minimum width for columns in a column chart?

The documentation very usefully says
columnStyle style The properties to apply to column sprites in column charts. See the sprite defaults
but there are no examples of the syntax and the intuitively obvious choice of
option name="charting.chart.columnStyle.maximumWidth"
does nothing.

Nor do these:

option name="charting.chart.columnStyle.spriteMinimumWidth"

option name="charting.chart.sprite.width"

In general the developer documentation would benefit greatly from more syntax explanation and examples. Can anyone advise what option or param is required to set sprite minimumWidth for a column chart?

Thanks

I realise that this doesn't quite cover minimumWidth but it is a start. I will look into minimumWidth

Hi, I have changed my answer again and I tested it this time. The answer allows you to control the width of the column chart cells

Hi,

The param (advanced XML) for specifying the width of a chart cell is:

<param name="charting.chart">column</param>

<param name="charting.chart.columnStyle.width">1</param>

This makes all of your column chart cells have a width of 1 pixel. Change the number as necessary

Nice. Now how about simple XML? Any syntax there?
