How to create a bar chart with bars of fixed width, regardless of the number of bars?

Am trying to find a way have fixed bar widths for a bar chart. Currently this is my xScale, can I pass anything else to it that would fix the bar width?

xScale={{ type: 'band', paddingInner: 0.15 }}

Hey @okanji thanks for checking out @data-ui. This currently is not possible, the bar width is auto-computed based on

• the # of bars
• the width passed to the chart
• the margin passed to the chart

So you can back compute the size you want, and pass in the appropriate width/margin for the number of data points you have, but otherwise you cannot specify this. Most of the time users want bars to fit in the chart/be auto-computed.
