Stacked step area in Angular Chart component

10 Apr 202524 minutes to read

Stacked step area

To render a stacked step area series in your chart, you need to follow a few steps to configure it correctly. Here’s a concise guide on how to do this:

  1. Set the series type: Define the series type as StackingStepArea in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a stacked step area chart, which is a combination of a stacked area chart and a step area chart. It connects the data points with vertical and horizontal lines, creating a step like appearance.

  2. Inject the StackingStepAreaSeries module: Use the @NgModule.providers method to inject the StackingStepAreaSeriesService module into your chart. This step is essential, as it ensures that the necessary functionalities for rendering stacked step area series are available in your chart.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule, ChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { AreaSeriesService, RangeAreaSeriesService, StepAreaSeriesService, StackingAreaSeriesService, 
    DateTimeService, CategoryService, MultiColoredAreaSeriesService, StackingStepAreaSeriesService, SplineRangeAreaSeriesService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { percentData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule, ChartAllModule
    ],

providers: [ AreaSeriesService , RangeAreaSeriesService, StepAreaSeriesService, StackingAreaSeriesService,
               DateTimeService, CategoryService, MultiColoredAreaSeriesService,StackingStepAreaSeriesService,SplineRangeAreaSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='StackingStepArea' xName='x' yName='y' name='USA'></e-series>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='StackingStepArea' xName='x' yName='y1' name='UK'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = percentData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime'
        };
        this.title = 'Annual Temperature Comparison';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
export let percentData: Object[] = [
        { x: new Date(2006, 0, 1), y: 34, y1: 51, y2: 14, y3: 37 },
        { x: new Date(2007, 0, 1), y: 20, y1: 26, y2: 34, y3: 15 },
        { x: new Date(2008, 0, 1), y: 40, y1: 37, y2: 73, y3: 53 },
        { x: new Date(2009, 0, 1), y: 51, y1: 51, y2: 51, y3: 51 },
        { x: new Date(2010, 0, 1), y: 26, y1: 26, y2: 26, y3: 26 },
        { x: new Date(2011, 0, 1), y: 37, y1: 37, y2: 37, y3: 37 },
        { x: new Date(2012, 0, 1), y: 54, y1: 43, y2: 12, y3: 54 },
        { x: new Date(2013, 0, 1), y: 44, y1: 23, y2: 16, y3: 44 },
        { x: new Date(2014, 0, 1), y: 48, y1: 55, y2: 34, y3: 23 }
];

Binding data with series

You can bind data to the chart using the dataSource property within the series configuration. This allows you to connect a JSON dataset or remote data to your chart. To display the data correctly, map the fields from the data to the chart series xName and yName properties.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule, ChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { AreaSeriesService, RangeAreaSeriesService, StepAreaSeriesService, StackingAreaSeriesService, 
    DateTimeService, CategoryService, MultiColoredAreaSeriesService, StackingStepAreaSeriesService, SplineRangeAreaSeriesService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { percentData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule, ChartAllModule
    ],

providers: [ AreaSeriesService , RangeAreaSeriesService, StepAreaSeriesService, StackingAreaSeriesService,
               DateTimeService, CategoryService, MultiColoredAreaSeriesService,StackingStepAreaSeriesService,SplineRangeAreaSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='StackingStepArea' xName='x' yName='y' name='USA'></e-series>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='StackingStepArea' xName='x' yName='y1' name='UK'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = percentData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime'
        };
        this.title = 'Annual Temperature Comparison';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
export let percentData: Object[] = [
        { x: new Date(2006, 0, 1), y: 34, y1: 51, y2: 14, y3: 37 },
        { x: new Date(2007, 0, 1), y: 20, y1: 26, y2: 34, y3: 15 },
        { x: new Date(2008, 0, 1), y: 40, y1: 37, y2: 73, y3: 53 },
        { x: new Date(2009, 0, 1), y: 51, y1: 51, y2: 51, y3: 51 },
        { x: new Date(2010, 0, 1), y: 26, y1: 26, y2: 26, y3: 26 },
        { x: new Date(2011, 0, 1), y: 37, y1: 37, y2: 37, y3: 37 },
        { x: new Date(2012, 0, 1), y: 54, y1: 43, y2: 12, y3: 54 },

        { x: new Date(2014, 0, 1), y: 48, y1: 55, y2: 34, y3: 23 }
];

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the Stacked Step Area series.

Fill

The fill property determines the color applied to the series.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule, ChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { AreaSeriesService, RangeAreaSeriesService, StepAreaSeriesService, StackingAreaSeriesService, 
    DateTimeService, CategoryService, MultiColoredAreaSeriesService, StackingStepAreaSeriesService, SplineRangeAreaSeriesService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { percentData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule, ChartAllModule
    ],

providers: [ AreaSeriesService , RangeAreaSeriesService, StepAreaSeriesService, StackingAreaSeriesService,
               DateTimeService, CategoryService, MultiColoredAreaSeriesService,StackingStepAreaSeriesService,SplineRangeAreaSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='StackingStepArea' xName='x' yName='y' name='USA' fill='red'></e-series>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='StackingStepArea' xName='x' yName='y1' name='UK' fill='green'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public border?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = percentData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime'
        };
        this.border={ width: 2, color: 'yellow' };
        this.title = 'Annual Temperature Comparison';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
export let percentData: Object[] = [
        { x: new Date(2006, 0, 1), y: 34, y1: 51, y2: 14, y3: 37 },
        { x: new Date(2007, 0, 1), y: 20, y1: 26, y2: 34, y3: 15 },
        { x: new Date(2008, 0, 1), y: 40, y1: 37, y2: 73, y3: 53 },
        { x: new Date(2009, 0, 1), y: 51, y1: 51, y2: 51, y3: 51 },
        { x: new Date(2010, 0, 1), y: 26, y1: 26, y2: 26, y3: 26 },
        { x: new Date(2011, 0, 1), y: 37, y1: 37, y2: 37, y3: 37 },
        { x: new Date(2012, 0, 1), y: 54, y1: 43, y2: 12, y3: 54 },
        { x: new Date(2013, 0, 1), y: 44, y1: 23, y2: 16, y3: 44 },
        { x: new Date(2014, 0, 1), y: 48, y1: 55, y2: 34, y3: 23 }
];

The fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the stacked step area series. By configuring this property with gradient values, you can create a visually appealing effect in which the color transitions smoothly from one shade to another.

Empty points

Data points with null or undefined values are considered empty. Empty data points are ignored and not plotted on the chart.

Mode

Use the mode property to define how empty or missing data points are handled in the series. The default mode for empty points is Gap.

Stack labels customization

Stack labels have various properties for customization to enhance the visual based on your requirements:

  • visible - Specifies whether stack labels are visible. Setting to true will display the labels. Default is false.
  • fill - Defines the background color of the stack labels. Accepts valid CSS color strings (hex, RGBA, etc.). Default is transparent.
  • format - Formats the text displayed in the stack labels. Supports placeholders like {value}. Default is null.
  • angle - Specifies the rotation angle for stack labels in degrees. Default is 0.
  • rx - Defines the rounded corner radius along the X-axis (horizontal direction) for the stack label background. Default is 5.
  • ry - Defines the rounded corner radius along the Y-axis (vertical direction) for the stack label background. Default is 5.
  • margin - Configures the margin around the stack label (left, right, top, and bottom).
  • border - Configures the appearance of the stack label’s border.
  • font - Customizes the stack label text, including font size, color, style, weight, and family.
