Charts - width of columns

Is there a way to control the width of the columns that are produced when
using a column chart?Yes there is a way to control the width of columns and bars. The property is
called "PointWidth". However, the property is only supported on the report
server (and designer preview).
What you need to do is:
* open your RDL file in a text / xml-editor or in "code view" of designer
* search for the chart (<chart name="...">)
* add a PointWidth value between 0 and 100 (by default it is 55)
Example:
<Chart Name="Sales">
<PointWidth>30</PointWidth>
...
</Chart>

Note: PointWidth is a constant value, so if you have an unknown number of
categories at runtime you might want to use two identical charts (one with
regular PointWidth, the other with a small PointWidth) and based on a
condition (number of categories) always hide one chart.
