WPF Stacked Column Chart Side by Side
// WPF Chart Examples
SciChart WPF ships with hundreds of WPF Chart Examples which you can browse, play with, view the source-code and even export each WPF Chart Example to a stand-alone Visual Studio solution. All of this is possible with the new and improved SciChart WPF Examples Suite, which ships as part of the SciChart WPF SDK.
Generates a Stacked Column chart with multiple stacked groups to render the stacked groups side by side. 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
Do you need to make one of the series invisible? Try to check/uncheck checkboxes in legend, or set BaseRenderableSeries.IsVisible = false. There are no gaps in series, if you make them invisible.
