Cluster charts

When I apply Number Bars or Volume by price studies to each bar within the chart, I see that each bar has its own, independent of other bars, scale for drawing volume profile, for example:
if one bar has max cluster volume 200, and other bar 20 - width of those clusters within the bars on the chart will be equal.
So my question is -
how can I(and could I at all?) make chart with profiles of the each bar, but width of each cluster in profile will depend on absolute volume - that cluster in one bar with volume 200 will be 10 times wider cluster in other bar with volume 20.
PS Currently I use Ninja with GOMP indicator which allows me to change global scale for absolute cluster volume by pressing +/- keys, making clusters thinner or thicker. But anyway - having a glimpse of my chart, I always can differ 200 cluster and 20.
Attached files are screenshots of the same situation in sierra and ninja.

This is not adjustable in Sierra Chart. We will have to consider this later on.

i also found this to be a limitation and because of this went back to using straight numbers (Footprints) instead of histograms.

it is not really useful to compare only the levels within a bar as trading decisions are not based on only one bar. in reality we use charts to display relative levels across the entire display. that is the main point of a chart. in fact, this is what traditional volume indicator does. Numbers Bars should do the same IMO.

I started topic with the same request about a year ago.
This is a must for objective cluster volume perseption.
