How to Center Align Single Bars with Multiple Series in Blazor Charts?

This article explains how to center align bars without extra spacing when each series has only one data point.

Center aligning bars without spacing

Blazor Charts provides an option to center align column chart rectangles for single data point using the EnableSideBySidePlacement property.

When multiple series have a single data point with different x-values, each bar will be rendered with spacing for the x-values that aren’t available in each series. This occurs because column-type charts render data points side by side. To eliminate this spacing, set the EnableSideBySidePlacement property to false.

The code example below demonstrates how to center align bars without spacing:

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<SfChart EnableSideBySidePlacement="false">
   <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
   <ChartSeriesCollection>
       <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails1" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column">
       </ChartSeries>
       <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails2" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column">
       </ChartSeries>
       <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails3" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column">
       </ChartSeries>
   </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code {
   public class ChartData
   {
       public string X { get; set; }
       public double Y { get; set; }
   }
   public List<ChartData> SalesDetails1 = new List<ChartData>
   {
       new ChartData { X= "Jan", Y= 35 },
   };
   public List<ChartData> SalesDetails2 = new List<ChartData>
   {
       new ChartData { X= "Feb", Y= 28 },
   };
   public List<ChartData> SalesDetails3 = new List<ChartData>
   {
       new ChartData { X= "Mar", Y= 34 },
   };
}
