Stacked Column gap width

I have a stacked column graph and I have set the gap width to 0.
There is, however, still space between the stacked columns.

The gap looks to be about twice as wide as the column themselves.  Any
idea why?

The column overlap is set to 100.
The Gap Width is set to 0.

In case it matters, the X axis is a time scale, all axis settings are
automatic.

It looks like both ClusteredColumn and StackedColumn graph types have
some intra-cluster spacing that cannot be eliminated...

When you use a time-scale axis, it creates categories for each day (all days).  The
time-scale is intended to space your categories as a function of the dates, whereas a
regular x-axis puts the categories evenly spaced on the x axis. So unless your dates are
consecutive, there will be categories for the dates where there is no data, hence the space
between them, even with the gap width set to 0.  With the gap width set to 0, only
consecutive dates will have no gap.
