  Hi,
  
  we are showing several (up to 3) different series sharing the same X-Axis but different Y-Axis on the same plot area.
  
  we want to have a small gap between each series so that the Y-Axis do not overlap.
  
  How can this be done?
  
  Attached are:

  1. reproduce code:
     
     ChartMultiPlotArea.zip

  2. screenshot of problem:

  Hi,

  To add gap between plots, you can add intermediate PlotAreas by specifying the alternate PlotAreaIndex for the added Y-Axes as follows:

  
          If chk1.IsChecked Then PlotChart("Y0", chk.Content.ToString(), m_dsList(0), [b]0[/b])
          If chk2.IsChecked Then PlotChart("Y1", chk.Content.ToString(), m_dsList(1), [b]2[/b])
          If chk3.IsChecked Then PlotChart("Y2", chk.Content.ToString(), m_dsList(2), [b]4[/b])
  

  Also, you can specify the Height of the gaps/plot-areas by using the PlotAreasRowDefinitions as follows:

   ```
  

  chart1.View.PlotAreaRowDefinitions.Add(New PlotAreaRowDefinition() With {.Height = New GridLength(1, GridUnitType.Star)})
  
  chart1.View.PlotAreaRowDefinitions.Add(New PlotAreaRowDefinition() With {.Height = New GridLength(20, GridUnitType.Pixel)})

  
  Please refer to the attached modified sample for the same.

  Also, just to inform you, since C1Chart is now in maintenance (https://www.grapecity.com/forums/wpf-edition/c1chart-in-maintenance-mod) so, you may consider our new and more efficient charting control named [b]FlexChart[/b] if there is no specific concern about using C1Chart. Just in case, for multiple plots in FlexChart you may refer to the following: https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/wpf/online-flexchart/Multiple-Plot-Areas.html
