These graphs get their name because of the way the graphical objects are displayed. Here's the same graph as above with the "Gerbils" data set removed.īefore diving into how widths and spacing of Grouped graphs can be customized, it's important to understand a bit of the structure of Grouped graphs. To do this, open the Format Graph dialog, switch to the "Data Sets on Graph" tab, select the data set you want to be removed, and click the "Remove" button. If you don't want a gap, you'll need to remove the data set from the graph. If there are no values in a data sheet column, Prism will leave a gap (a zero-height bar). The spacing between the middle two was set at 25 percent of normal. In the graph below, the spacing between the first two and the last two columns was set at 150 percent of normal. If you enter 0, this bar will touch the the bar immediately preceding it. As an example, if you enter "200", that bar will be twice as far from its left neighbor as the others. To do this, open the Format Graph dialog and switch to the "Data Sets on Graph" tab. Select a data set and enter (at the bottom of the dialog) the percentage of normal spacing you want between that data set and the prior one. It is also possible to change the space between two specific adjacent bars individually. Note that the width of the bars for each column are different for the two graphs while the width of the X axis is the same in both. The first uses the default values of 50% for each of these "Dimension" options, while the second uses 20% for the space between columns and 10% for the space before the first and after the last column. If set to zero, the last bar will end exactly at the right side of the graphĬompare the following two graphs. This determines how much space is left between the last object and the right side of the graph. If set to zero, the first bar will start exactly at the left side of the graph This determines how much space is left between the left side of the graph (generally the left Y axis) and the first object. A smaller value will cause the gaps to be smaller and the objects to be wider Increasing this value will cause the gaps between objects to be wider, and subsequently the objects themselves to be narrower. There are three values that can be adjusted in this section that will modify the appearance of the graph. First, either double click in the graphing area or click the Format Graph toolbar button in the Change section of the toolbar to open the Format Graph dialog.Ĭlick on the "Graph Settings" tab, and find the "Dimensions" section of the dialog.
It's also possible to change the spacing between all of the objects without changing the overall width of the graph. If you want wider bars, simply stretch the graph axis and the width and spacing of the bars (or violins or box-and-whiskers, etc.) will change proportionally. The simplest way to change the width of any object (bar, violin, etc.) or the spacing between objects is to change the total width of the graph. Note there are separate instructions below for Column graphs and Grouped graphs.Ĭolumn graphs Grouped graphs Adding Annotations to bar graphs Column graphs
Prism automatically sets the width of the bars (violins, box-and-whiskers, column scatter plots, etc.) and the spacing between these objects on Column and Grouped graphs by taking into account the overall size of the graph (the width of the axis) and the total number of objects or groups on the graph. There are a number of ways to adjust the width of the objects/groups and spacing between each object/group.

These examples demonstrate how to adjust the width of columns (bars, violins, box-and-whiskers, column scatter, etc.) and the spacing between columns for Column and Grouped graphs (Bonus: adding annotations to bar graphs)
