The WPF stacked area chart visualizes data with y-values stacked one over another in series order. It shows the relationship among individual values to the total sum of points.
Group a series with another series using the group name in a chart. Group the series with different stacking names separately.
Rotate the WPF stacked area chart to plot data vertically and view it from a different perspective.
Empty or null data points are elegantly handled in the WPF stacked area chart.
Customize the color and border of the chart using the built-in APIs to make it visually unique.
Easily get started with the WPF Stacked Area Chart using a few simple lines of C# code example as demonstrated below,
