The Xamarin.Forms step area chart is similar to the area chart, but it does not use the shortest distance to connect two data points using diagonal lines. Instead, the step area chart uses vertical and horizontal lines to connect the data points in a series forming a step-like progression.
Rotate the step area chart to plot data in a vertical direction and view data from a different perspective.
Data points can easily be annotated with data labels to improve readability.
Customizes the color and thickness of a step area chart using built-in APIs to make it visually unique.
