I'm trying to make a 3D bar chart plot with transparent faces on the sides, but for some reason it's very hard to remove them (or to make them transparent at least). I tried looking through the documentation of both BarChart3D and Graphics3D (which has similar options), but to no avail. Here's a small example that illustrates the problem:

A = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}};
BarChart3D[A, ChartLayout -> "Grid", Boxed -> True]

And the output:

Simple BarChart3D plot with faces present

To be clear: I'm attempting to get rid of the two yellowish sides that are at the bottom and back-right here.

  • $\begingroup$ This solution is incomplete and produces wrong results. Somehow after the removing the canvas the bars are re-scaled to fill the whole height of the figure. I would like to find a method to remove the canvas without re-scaling the bar heights. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @surfer I have converted your "answer" into a comment. However it is unlikely that you will get a reply as Dr. belisarius has not been active in some time. You should post a new question if you have one. $\endgroup$
