Space between columns - strange behaviour

[luissimoes]

Here is the graph I have now:

• its a stacked (relative) bar graph of 3 entities (consumed, sold and the part of solar energy that is consumed)

As can be seen the bars are very spaced.
"bargap" doesn't do the trick, because this is already 0.1....
"bargroupgap" doesn't help too (and is not directly involved
"width" only makes the layout part different.

BUT.... when I zoom in or out the graph then looks great (see pic below)

so.....
how can I really set this?

---

add-on:

I have the entities as "statistic: state"..... here the case for one of the entities

  - entity: sensor.from_netz_daily
    texttemplate: '%{y:.2f}'
    textfont:
      size: 13
      color: '#ffffff'
    name: from netz
    type: bar
    statistic: state
    period: day
    marker:
      color: '#cd0797'
      opacity: 1

but if I use "sum" and then "delta" in the filter... then it works!!!

  - entity: sensor.from_netz_daily
    texttemplate: '%{y:.2f}'
    textfont:
      size: 13
      color: '#ffffff'
    name: from netz
    type: bar
    statistic: sum
    period: day
    marker:
      color: '#cd0797'
      opacity: 1
    filters:
      - delta

(sadly I can't use this for the 3rd entity... can only use state... and as soon as there is an entity with "state" then this behaviour happens

This is typically because the home assistant api invents a datapoint at the beginning of the requested period.
Try removing it using

- entity: sensor.from_netz_daily
   ...
   filters:
     - filter: i > 0

Yes!!!! That it! You did it again 😉
Thanks!

strange though that an extra data point contributes to put the bars on diet 😀

cheers

Haha, I think that plotly measures the minimal distance between two bars and uses that to limit how wide they can be
