Hello,

Unlike the Volume By Price study, Number Bars study(with volume profile background type) lacks the function to adjust the width of bars relative to each other.

I'd love to see the functionality. could this be supported?

We are a bit confused by your question.

When using the Numbers Bars study with Volume Profiles, the profiles are displayed relative to the highest volume within the bar.

Are you then asking if you can change the relative length of the bars (like you can in the Volume by Profile) to some percentage of the total width of the space available within the Numbers Bar? For example, if you set it to 70%, the longest bar would only be 70% of the way across, and all the other bars would be relative to that 70%.

No. The setting I'm referring to is the "Volume Profile Bars Length Relative to All Visible Profiles" of the Volume by Price study.

When the setting is set to yes, (multiple) volume profiles in the same screen shows relative width to the volume profile that has the highest(widest) volume, instead of all the profile having the same 100% width.

I couldn't find the same settings on the Number Bars.

There is a setting on the Numbers Bars for Volume Profile Bars Length Relative to All Visible Bars. You can find the documentation for this here:
Numbers Bars: Volume Profile Bars Length Relative to All Visible Bars

Also, be aware that the combination of settings for the Background Type and the Background Coloring Method will change how the length of the bars are displayed.
