How can I adjust the Bar´s width in Bar plots?

Hi everyone, I´m a JMP new user and I´m preparing bar plots. I wonder how can I proceed to adjust bar´s width. There is any script code line that should be added or edited? Thanks in advance

Maybe adjusting Width Proportion is enough. Right click on graph builder and select customize:

Select Bar on the left and modify Width Proportion:

Width proportion 0.1:

Width proportion 0.95:

Re: How can I adjust the Bar´s width in Bar plots?

Thank you jthi for your answer! It was quite useful. I applied it and worked The only detail was that I had multiple plots (several x-groups and y-groups), but it was solved by first, trying some width proportions as you indicated with one graph to get the desired one, then degrouping all the graphs, then setting the width proportion determined before, and then regroup. Now my graph look quite better.

As as a new JMP user, just be careful...in many, many JMP bar type visualizations (such as Mosaic plots) the width of the bar has interpretive meaning...often times the widths of the bars are intentionally determined by JMP to represent proportionality of sample size for the variable on an axis.

Thank you so much for your answer and for your warning :). Ok, sure, I will take care with those bar type visualizations. In my current case, they are just conventional bar plots, but I have multiple plots in one (some x and y-groups), so I just wanted to decrease the bar width to make them look less crowded. Thank you again for your help.
