-If set to `'flex'`, the base sample widths are calculated automatically based on the previous and following samples so that they take the full available widths without overlap. Then, bars are sized using `barPercentage` and `categoryPercentage`. There is no gap when the percentage options are 1. This mode generates bars with different widths when data are not evenly spaced.
-
-If not set (default), the base sample widths are calculated using the smallest interval that prevents bar overlapping, and bars are sized using `barPercentage` and `categoryPercentage`. This mode always generates bars equally sized.

-### offsetGridLines
-If true, the bars for a particular data point fall between the grid lines. The grid line will move to the left by one half of the tick interval, which is the space between the grid lines. If false, the grid line will go right down the middle of the bars. This is set to true for a category scale in a bar chart while false for other scales or chart types by default.

-This setting applies to the axis configuration. If axes are added to the chart, this setting will need to be set for each new axis.
