Overlapping Charts

Can anyone tell me if its possible to overlap charts in the reportviewer control The designer allows me to do it, but the charts don't overlap when rendered. Basically I have two simple bar charts I'm trying to put back to back and even when turning off the text in the axis I can't make them appear flush to each other.

Thanks in advance

    In the case where you just want to show a bar per data row or group, you could also consider the "inline bar chart" approach discussed here: http://blogs.msdn.com/bobmeyers/archive/2005/10/15/481342.aspx

    Overlapping charts is possible in the ReportViewer Winforms control (because it draws directly to the screen).

    It is not possible in the Webforms control because it generates a HTML layout that does allow overlapping items in general.

    Hmm, that makes sense. Thanks for the info. Does anyone know how reduce the padding around a bar chart so that the axis of the chart appears flush against the side of the rendered image I've turned off labels for the axis but there still exists a partial padding.
