Complex and Stacked Bar Charts have Width and Cluster Overlap options that
control exactly how bars are spaced and displayed. Where there are multiple sets in
a bar chart, each set is called a cluster (see Note under the previous section ‘

). The number of clusters determines the

available cluster space on the X-axis.

In a Stacked Bar chart there is only one bar per cluster. All Y-values less than zero
are stacked below the X-axis.

Using the Complex and Stacked Bar charts in CHART2.FRM we will create
examples of the effect of the use of the Width and Cluster Overlap options.

The value entered in the Width box specifies how much of the available cluster
space should be occupied by the total sets. By default, the Width is 50, which means
the sets will occupy 50% of the available space on the X-axis.

In the examples that follow, there are 5 sets (or clusters), therefore the 

cluster width for each is one fifth of the total available.

In each example, the 3D effect has been applied to the bars with the Depth =5,
Inclination = 30 and Rotation = 45%.
