Here is an example that sets the location based on a parameter.

Mike,
Can you take a screenshot of where the marker line is, and use paint to
show where you want it?

Mike,
Add the following beforeDrawMarkerLine script:
function beforeDrawMarkerLine( axis, markerLine, icsc )
{
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component.impl);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.data.impl);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute.impl);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.util);
markerLine.setValue(NumberDataElementImpl.create(0.5));
}

That is a bit more complicated. Look at the attached example.

I'd like to place it on the right edge of the 2nd bar (as shown by the arrow). I'm not sure how to calculate this offset and tie it to the number of bars. I tried multiples of 6 (number of bars) and multiples of 7 (number of edges). The image shown is 3*(1/7) but as you can see it places the marker a little too far to the right. Is there an easy formula I can use or do I just have to fudge it and hardcode a value that works?

Can you lower the unit spacing (which is getting added per series).
See modified example.

I have included a sample chart with the configuration that I am using and the arrow points to where I would like the marker line to be positioned. The actual marker line is where the current code puts it.

Mike,
You can get the size of any the chart blocks (plot, legend, title etc)
but I am not certain how you would do the calculation.
