Overview

The WinUI Step Line Chart (a.k.a WinUI Stepped Chart or WinUI Stepped Line Chart) is similar to the line chart, but it does not use the shortest distance to connect two data points using straight lines. Instead, the step line chart uses vertical and horizontal lines to connect data points in a series forming a step-like progression.

Key Features

WinUI Vertical Step Line Chart

Vertical Chart

Rotate the step line chart to plot data vertically and view data from a different perspective.

WinUI Chart with Multiple Axes

Multiple Axes

Use multiple axes to plot different data sets along two or more axes having different data points and values.

WinUI Step Line Chart showing Empty Point aka Null Point

Empty or Null Point Chart

The WinUI Step Line Chart handles empty or null data points elegantly.

WinUI Step Line Chart with Data Labels

Data Labels

Data labels display information about the data points. Customize the labels foreground, border, and background. Template support to customize the default appearance with the desired view. Rotate a data label by its given angle.
