We just upgraded to the 12.1 version. Previously, the FinancialPriceSeries Resolution property controlled the width of the candlestick. Resolution could be set to 1 (narrow), 2 (medium) or 3 (wide).
In the 12.1 version, this no longer works. Is it a bug? Or, is there a new way to control candlestick width?
Hello jimrpredictive,
Due to some changes in our internal implementation we modified the default behavior of the control to make the candlesticks wider when the user zoom the chart. Before this was possible through the Resolution property. Based on this if you want to increase or decrease the width of the candles you can now horizontally zoom in and out the XamDataChart.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions on this.
Hi Elena,
Thanks for the quick response. We have no problem if the bar width adjusts for zoom, but it would be nice to disable that feature if possible. We're not sure why a wider bar is of any benefit.
Anyway, our problem is the intial width. On the a chart with no zooming yet done, the candlestick is now unacceptably wide. Before, we could simply set the Resolution to 1 or 2 to narrow this initial width.
How do we make the intial candlesticks narrower? Below is an example. The candlesticks consume almost the entire horizontal space of each day. In our opinion, this is both unnecessary and not graphically pleasing.
