A grouping set that can be used to stack or cluster BarSeries objects in any chart. A BarSet encapsulates the same grouping behavior that is used in a BarChart control, but it can be used to assemble custom charts that are based on the CartesianChart class. BarSets can be used to cluster any chart element type that implements the IBar interface. It can stack any chart element type that implements the IBar and IStackable interfaces. Because the BarSet class implements the IBar interface, you can use BarSets to cluster other BarSets to build more advanced custom charts.

Property Detail

### barWidthRatio

property

`barWidthRatio:Number`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies how wide to render the bars relative to the category width. A value of `1` uses the entire space, while a value of `.6` uses 60% of the bar's available space. You typically do not set this property directly. The actual bar width used is the smaller of `barWidthRatio` and the `maxbarWidth` property

The default value is `0.65.`

Implementation
`public function get barWidthRatio():Number`
`public function set barWidthRatio(value:Number):void`

### maxBarWidth

property

`maxBarWidth:Number`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies how wide to draw the bars, in pixels. The actual bar width used is the smaller of this style and the `barWidthRatio` property. Clustered bars divide this space proportionally among the bars in each cluster.

Implementation
`public function get maxBarWidth():Number`
`public function set maxBarWidth(value:Number):void`

### offset

property

`offset:Number`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies how far to offset the center of the bars from the center of the available space, relative the category width. The range of values is a percentage in the range `-100` to `100`. Set to `0` to center the bars in the space. Set to `-50` to center the column at the beginning of the available space. You typically do not set this property directly.

The default value is `0.`

Implementation
`public function get offset():Number`
`public function set offset(value:Number):void`

()
method

`override public function stack():void`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Updates the series data, and uses the values of the series data it is stacking on top of so it can stack correctly.
