Shifting labels+bars in histogram

Are there any way to shift the labels and the bars of a histogram? I also need to create a DateTime label at the origin. I would like the graph display the wholes of the bars, but the first and the last bars are only half shown.

I tried: xAxis.setLabelPosition(Position value) and it yields an error.

Hi MC,

Can you post a screenshot of what your chart looks like? Also, if you could, an example report design built off of a csv database or something that I can run, that may be helpful as well.

I am using BIRT Chart Engine to create a histogram view rather than a report. The only way to do so using BIRT is by starting with a bargraph and making it look like a histogram. The label that I am getting is a set of x-axis scales (in CDateTime format), so it is something like 07/ 28 05:00, 7/28 10:00, 7/28 15:00, 7/28 20:00. I have already gotten the frequencies for the time range, and I would like to make it look like a histogram rather than a bar graph. I can either set the scales' label to a set of ranges (07/ 28 00:00 - 07/ 28 05:00, 07/ 28 05:00 - 7/28 10:00, etc) or insert a beginning scale label with no value and shift all the bars to the left. 
 
Code snippet: 
 
xAxis = chart.getPrimaryBaseAxes()[0]; 
xAxis.getLabel().getCaption().getFont().setRotation(45); 
// xAxis.setLabelPosition(Position.RIGHT_LITERAL); //error 
xAxis.setGapWidth(10); //?? 
xAxis.getTitle().getCaption().setValue("Time"); 
xAxis.getTitle().getCaption().setColor(ColorDefinitionImpl.CREAM()); 
xAxis.getTitle().setVisible(true); 
String k=xAxis.getLabel().getCaption().getValue(); 
System.out.println("Value: "+k); -->print out "Value: " no k value?

Here's a screenshot (attached). Same as the other thread.
