	  Specifies the width of columns relative to the category width. A value of 1 uses the entire space, while a value of .6 
	  uses 60% of the column's available space. 
	  You typically do not set this property directly. 
	  The actual column width used is the smaller of columnWidthRatio and the maxColumnWidth property
	  
	  
 The default value is 0.65.

	  Specifies the width of the columns, in pixels. The actual column width used is the smaller of this style and the columnWidthRatio property.
	  Clustered columns divide this space proportionally among the columns in each cluster.

	  Specifies how far to offset the center of the columns from the center of the available space, relative to the category width. 
	  At the value of default 0, the columns are centered on the space.
	  Set to -50 to center the column at the beginning of the available space.
	  You typically do not set this property directly. The ColumnChart control manages this value based on 
	  its columnWidthRatio property.

public function ColumnSet()| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |

Constructor.
| buildSubSeries | () | method | 
override protected function buildSubSeries():void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
Processes the Array of sub-series for display, when necessary. This method ensures that all sub-series are added as children of this stacking set, and applies any per-series customization that is necessary (for example, assigning inherited data providers or clustering properties).
This method is also responsible for informing the chart that series
      have changed and, as a result, implicit series styles must be reassigned.
      This method is called automatically by the stacking set, when necessary.
      Instead of calling this method directly,
      you should consider calling the invalidateSeries() method.
| customizeSeries | () | method | 
override protected function customizeSeries(glyph:IChartElement, i:uint):void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
Applies any customization to a sub-series when building the stacking behavior. By default, this method assigns the inherited data providers to the sub-series. Derived classes can override this method to apply further customization.
Parameters
glyph:IChartElement — The chart element to customize.
      
       | |
i:uint — The sub-series' position in the series array.

| describeData | () | method | 
override public function describeData(dimension:String, requiredFields:uint):Array| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
	  
      
      Called by the governing DataTransform to obtain a description
      of the data represented by this IChartElement.
      Implementors fill out and return an Array of
      mx.charts.chartClasses.DataDescription objects
      to guarantee that their data is correctly accounted for
      by any axes that are autogenerating values
      from the displayed data (such as minimum, maximum,
      interval, and unitSize).
      Most element types return an Array
      containing a single DataDescription.
      Aggregate elements, such as BarSet and ColumnSet,
      might return multiple DataDescription instances
      that describe the data displayed by their subelements.
      When called, the implementor describes the data
      along the axis indicated by the dimension argument.
      This function might be called for each axis
      supported by the containing chart.
     
      
Parameters
dimension:String — Determines the axis to get data descriptions of.
            | |
requiredFields:uint — A bitfield that indicates which values
      of the DataDescription object the particular axis cares about.
      Implementors can optimize by only calculating the necessary fields.
      
       | 
Array — An Array containing the DataDescription instances that describe
      the data that is displayed.

| formatDataTip | () | method | 
override protected function formatDataTip(hd:HitData):String| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
Provides custom text for DataTip objects. Stacking sets override the DataTip text of their contained sub-series to display additional information related to the stacking behavior. Derived classes must override this method to define custom DataTip text.
Parameters
hd:HitData — The hitData object in the stack.
      
       | 
String — The custom text for the DataTip. The default is the empty string. You must 
      override this method to provide a custom DataTip.
