Catplot - bar width

[Chiara Piazzo]

Dear all,

I am trying to plot stacked bar charts using -catplot-. I would like to reduce the width of the bars (to half or even one-third). I tried using over(gender, gap(*5), while this does reduce the width of the bars, the distance between them is a bit much. Is there anyway I can reduce the width of the bars but still keep them relatively close? Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Chiara

Specify an aspect ratio less than 1, e.g., -aspect(0.25)-. See
