How to add space between multiple columns in WPF Chart segment?

Description

This article demonstrates how to add spacing between multiple column segments in a WPF Chart (SfChart) when multiple series share the same data source.

Solution

You can add the spacing between multiple series segments by using the SegmentSpacing property of WPF Chart (SfChart).

In this example, setting SegmentSpacing to 0.5 creates a spacing between adjacent segments within the same category.

Refer the code below to define segment spacing in a WPF Chart:

XAML

<syncfusion:ColumnSeries Label="ColumnSeries1"
                         ItemsSource="{Binding Computers}"
                         XBindingPath="Computer"
                         YBindingPath="Year2013"
                         <!—Sets the SegmentSpacing-->
                         SegmentSpacing="0.5"/>
<syncfusion:ColumnSeries Label="ColumnSeries2"
                         ItemsSource="{Binding Computers}"
                         XBindingPath="Computer"
                         YBindingPath="Year2014"
                         SegmentSpacing="0.5" />       

C#

(sampleChart.Series[0] as ColumnSeries).SegmentSpacing = 0.5;
(sampleChart.Series[1] as ColumnSeries).SegmentSpacing = 0.5;

Output

The following screenshot illustrates the spacing applied between the segments of the same data point.
