Custom visual made with Charticulator not respecting scale

Hi,

I tried to create a custom visual via Charticulator.

It's a clustered and stacked column chart.

Do someone know why my visual is not respecting the scale please? Here only deep blue rectangles are resized:

You can find here my power BI example and my custom visual.

 

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Camille

    Hi Anonymous,

    At a glance, this sometimes happens when an object isn't snapped to a visual guide, however in order to investigate the issue, we'll need the raw file from Charticulator rather than the compiled Power BI custom visual. I did check the link in your OP but could only find the workbook and .pbiviz file.

    If you're able to provide the .chart file, I can take a look. If you're not sure how to do this, please review the Download as Chart section of their doc.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

    Hi Camille,

     

    It is unclear what is wrong in this case.

    I see that it is respecting the scale but proportions is changed irrationally for some frame sizes.

    Looks like it is rather their feature than a bug or may be there is some option to regulate this behavior.

    Hi Anonymous,

    I need the same type of chart, did you manage to solve the issue? Is it possible that you can share the chart with me somehow so I can make use of it?

    Thanks,

    Helena

    Hi dm-p,

    I made an attempt but I need the data sets (forecast and actual) on the same Y-axis., please see link here:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_-AtkI0RwzPCVYb7lf1w5oNCDlJaL6FQ. 

    I suspect that I need to make a nested chart but do not manage to get the desired result, and have found no tutorials online for making a nested chart. Do you have any smart thoughts? 🙂 Or any recommendations on tutorials to solve this issue? (I can´t access the nested chart in your example, it´s blank, so can´t learn anything from there unfortunately)
    Thanks,
    Helena

      Hi Anonymous,

      There's indeed not many tutorials on Charticulator about, but as luck would have it, I published a blog post last week covering nested charts, which you might hopefully find useful. The scenario is for small multiples but still covers the concepts of nested charts in-general.

      Nested charts have a bug when you first open them, they appear blank and you need to do something to the canvas to make the layout appear. I've got a small section in the above post that covers this, as it took me a while to figure out; I typically drag a guide or something similarly non-destructive and the nested chart will appear. If you do this with my example it will definitely work so you can have a look into it further 🙂

      Regards,

      Daniel

    dm-p Hi - I have the problem not wanting to make nested chart scalable, but when I exported the chart to power bi - the axes and scales option isn't available. Do you have any solutions to this ? The reason being is that I want the chart in fixed proportion and make the viz to be scrollable to the side when I minimiz it.

    Thank you in advance.
