Stacked column

To render a stacked column 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:

  • Set the series type: Define the series Type as StackingColumn in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a stacked column chart, where each column consists of multiple segments stacked on top of each other.
@Html.EJS().Chart("container-vertical").Series(series =>
{
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("John").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y1").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Peter").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y2").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Steve").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y3").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Charle").Add();
}).PrimaryXAxis(px => px.ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ValueType.Category)).Title("Family Expense for Month").Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<StackedLineChartData> chartData = new List<StackedLineChartData>
            {
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Food", y= 90, y1= 40, y2= 70, y3= 120 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Transport", y= 80, y1= 90, y2= 110, y3= 70 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Medical", y= 50, y1= 80, y2= 120, y3= 50 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Clothes", y= 70, y1= 30, y2= 60, y3= 180 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Personal Care", y= 30, y1= 80, y2= 80, y3= 30 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Books", y= 10, y1= 40, y2= 30, y3= 270 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Fitness", y= 100,y1= 30, y2= 70, y3= 40 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Electricity", y= 55, y1= 95, y2= 55, y3= 75 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Tax", y= 20, y1= 50, y2= 40, y3= 65 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Pet Care", y= 40, y1= 20, y2= 80, y3= 95 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Education", y= 45, y1= 15, y2= 45, y3= 195 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Entertainment", y= 75, y1= 45, y2= 65, y3= 115 }
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class StackedLineChartData
        {
            public string x;
            public double y;
            public double y1;
            public double y2;
            public double y3;
        }

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.

@Html.EJS().Chart("container-vertical").Series(series =>
{
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("John").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y1").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Peter").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y2").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Steve").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn).XName("x").YName("y3").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Charle").Add();
}).PrimaryXAxis(px => px.ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ValueType.Category)).Title("Family Expense for Month").Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<StackedLineChartData> chartData = new List<StackedLineChartData>
            {
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Food", y= 90, y1= 40, y2= 70, y3= 120 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Transport", y= 80, y1= 90, y2= 110, y3= 70 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Medical", y= 50, y1= 80, y2= 120, y3= 50 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Clothes", y= 70, y1= 30, y2= 60, y3= 180 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Personal Care", y= 30, y1= 80, y2= 80, y3= 30 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Books", y= 10, y1= 40, y2= 30, y3= 270 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Fitness", y= 100,y1= 30, y2= 70, y3= 40 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Electricity", y= 55, y1= 95, y2= 55, y3= 75 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Tax", y= 20, y1= 50, y2= 40, y3= 65 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Pet Care", y= 40, y1= 20, y2= 80, y3= 95 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Education", y= 45, y1= 15, y2= 45, y3= 195 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Entertainment", y= 75, y1= 45, y2= 65, y3= 115 }
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class StackedLineChartData
        {
            public string x;
            public double y;
            public double y1;
            public double y2;
            public double y3;
        }

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the stacked column series.

Fill

The Fill property determines the color applied to the series.

@Html.EJS().Chart("container-vertical").Series(series =>
{
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y").DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("John").Fill("#ff4251").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y1").DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Peter").Fill("#4C4C4C").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y2").DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Steve").Fill("#794F1B").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y3").DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Charle").Fill("#1a9a6f").Add();
}).PrimaryXAxis(px => px.ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ValueType.Category)).Title("Family Expense for Month").Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<StackedLineChartData> chartData = new List<StackedLineChartData>
            {
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Food", y= 90, y1= 40, y2= 70, y3= 120 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Transport", y= 80, y1= 90, y2= 110, y3= 70 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Medical", y= 50, y1= 80, y2= 120, y3= 50 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Clothes", y= 70, y1= 30, y2= 60, y3= 180 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Personal Care", y= 30, y1= 80, y2= 80, y3= 30 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Books", y= 10, y1= 40, y2= 30, y3= 270 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Fitness", y= 100,y1= 30, y2= 70, y3= 40 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Electricity", y= 55, y1= 95, y2= 55, y3= 75 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Tax", y= 20, y1= 50, y2= 40, y3= 65 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Pet Care", y= 40, y1= 20, y2= 80, y3= 95 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Education", y= 45, y1= 15, y2= 45, y3= 195 },
                new StackedLineChartData { x= "Entertainment", y= 75, y1= 45, y2= 65, y3= 115 }
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class StackedLineChartData
        {
            public string x;
            public double y;
            public double y1;
            public double y2;
            public double y3;
        }

The Fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the stacked column 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.

Opacity

The Opacity property specifies the transparency level of the fill. Adjusting this property allows you to control how opaque or transparent the fill color of the series appears.

@Html.EJS().Chart("container-vertical").Series(series =>

            public double y2;
            public double y3;
        }

Dash array

The DashArray property determines the pattern of dashes and gaps in the series.

@Html.EJS().Chart("container-vertical").Series(series =>

Events

Series render

The SeriesRender event allows you to customize series properties, such as data, fill, and name, before they are rendered on the chart.

@Html.EJS().Chart("container-vertical").SeriesRender("changeColor").Series(series =>
{
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("John").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y1").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Peter").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y2").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Steve").Add();
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
    .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y3").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
    .Name("Charle").Add();
}).PrimaryXAxis(px => px.ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ValueType.Category)).Title("Family Expense for Month").Render()

Point render

The PointRender event allows you to customize each data point before it is rendered on the chart.

@Html.EJS().Chart("container-vertical").PointRender("changeColor").Series(series =>

        .Name("Peter").Add();
        series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
        .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y2").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
        .Name("Steve").Add();
        series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.StackingColumn)
        .Marker(mkr => mkr.Visible(true)).XName("x").YName("y3").Width(2).DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
