BarSpacing

As of Version 7.0, BarSpacing is part of the built-in Wolfram Language kernel.

BarSpacing

is an option for bar charts that determines the fraction of the bar width to space the bars in a group of bars.

Details and Options

To use BarSpacing, you first need to load the Bar Charts Package using Needs["BarCharts`"].
BarSpacing sets the distance between bars within a group of bars in BarChart.
BarSpacing sets the distance between groups of bars in PercentileBarChart and StackedBarChart.
In BarChart3D, BarSpacing->{m,n} specifies distances between bars in the x and y directions.

Wolfram Language code: Needs["BarCharts`"]

The bars within a group are tightly packed:

Wolfram Language code: BarChart[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5}}, BarSpacing -> 0]

The bars within a group are widely spaced:

Wolfram Language code: BarChart[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5}}, BarSpacing -> 0.2]

The columns are widely spaced:

Wolfram Language code: PercentileBarChart[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5}}, BarSpacing -> 0.8]

This leaves space in the x direction, but not in the y direction:

Wolfram Language code: BarChart3D[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5}}, BarSpacing -> {.5, 0}]
