index.esm.d.ts:109 (opens new window)


# barThickness

• barThickness: number | "flex"

Manually set width of each bar in pixels. If set to 'flex', it computes "optimal" sample widths that globally arrange bars side by side. If not set (default), bars are equally sized based on the smallest interval.
