Hi at All, I would like to know if is it possible to select a bar of a barchartA; applying relative filters, and the size of the chart filtered remains of its original size, and NOT the bar spans the entire x-axis. For me is much important. Thank you very much for helping. M. ---

Hi @mad-max, this depends on the aggregation you are using on your x-axis. Could you maybe provide further details or a screenshot/drawing to illustrate the situation? ---

HI a screenshot/drawing to illustrate the situation: ![Immagine1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/d/9d653b1771e883f6c6fe8dc39c034000f3f51d5c.png) ![Immagine2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/f/ffab1739da503d901e3fbd6708b9082fb3ad84cc.png) ---

It looks like you have a `Terms` bucket aggregation on your x-axis. The effect you are seeing comes from the fact that the x-axis is evenly divided among all terms returned by Elasticsearch. After applying the filter for a term, all other buckets are omitted by default because they are empty. You can tell Elasticsearch to still return the empty buckets by setting `{"min_doc_count": 0}` in the advanced "JSON input" of the bucket aggregation: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/4/94fd20ff17fd45d76903bb8f61fd483f91c5d966.png) That should lead to Elasticsearch still returning the empty term buckets, which subsequently still take up space on the x-axis. ---

Hi thanks for the answer with just the bouquet is perfect but i also use the split series and at this point the result is like the image and it is occupied half of the axis x the worse is if i use the stacked bar as the graph after l 'The filter application is empty.

Have you added the `min_doc_count` setting to the first bucket aggregation as well? ---

Hm, your screenshot shows that the second aggregation does not have the `min_doc_count` setting applied. Try setting it on both aggregations. ---
