Generates a WPF Stacked Bar 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.

The rotation of the chart is achieved by setting the XAxis AxisAlignment on the Left, and YAxis.AxisAlignment on the Bottom.

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

Tip!

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
