Generates a Stacked column chart in code-behind. The StackedColumnRenderableSeries API can be used to render columns stacked one above another, side by side, or a Left or Right aligned Bar Chart.

Columns are rendered using the Stroke (outline) and Fill (fill).

Tips!

Do you need to change the width of the column? Try setting DataPointWidth from 0.0 to 1.0. This alters how much space the column takes up. Also the UseUniformWidth property may be used to define whether column widths are uniform or not

Did you know we support 100% Stacked Column charts? See the Introduction to Stacked Series in SciChart article for more information.
