In the bar chart I am creating the first and last rows are consistently being cut in half (even if I add additional bars). This also causes the values above the bar
To answer your questions:
In order to properly show your bars you need to fit the bars, like this (don't ask me why it's not enabled by default):
chart.setFitBars(true)
You can find more information in the BarChart
javadocs:
setFitBars(boolean enabled): Adds half of the bar width to each side of the x-axis range in order to allow the bars of the barchart to be fully displayed.
If you have a CombinedChart
you could use setSpaceMin() and setSpaceMax() to add additional spacing on both ends of the axis:
XAxis xAxis = chart.getXAxis();
xAxis.setSpaceMin(barData.getBarWidth() / 2f);
xAxis.setSpaceMax(barData.getBarWidth() / 2f);
It is currently impossible to infuence the value positions rendered on the axis. Creating a ValueFormatter
only changes the displayed text, not the actual position of the label.
