So you really want to see just one single column?

Keep in mind that Prime isn't Mathcad 15 and Prime is lacking a lot of features and convenience compared to real Mathcad. Not being able to use a column plot for just one single value is one of the lacking "features" but compared to the many others I would call it a minor one.

You may use a solution as provided by Fred who created the column using two fat vertical line segments (actually his line segments won't have both the same heigth). You can write a more complex program to create columns (you may add arguments for width, fill or no fill, etc.).

Or you may simply resort to the stem plot with a large line width:

As Fred already asked - How badly do you need that single column?

 

BTW, more than one value is no problem, not even for Prime. if x is a vector of multiple values, Prime will happily draw the columns. It simply refuses to draw a single one (for whatever reason):

You get what you demand. You had set x:=3 and therefore you get just one stem at x=3.

You may define a range if you like:

Now you can change it to a different type via the menu

Hello Werner,

Thanks for the reply. Please see this plot created in MathCad 15.

There, I had a plot with 3 data point to compare. No problem to represent them by bars (columns).

In Prime, I cannot do this using the "plot" tab. It can however be done using "chart component".

Any suggestions?

Well, you're right, a single point column trace won't work.  (A stem trace does.)

 

How badly do you need a column trace?
