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.
Inject the StackingColumnSeries module: Use the Chart.Inject(StackingColumnSeries) method to inject the StackingColumnSeries module into your chart. This step is essential, as it ensures that the necessary functionalities for rendering stacked column series are available in your chart.

index.ts
index.html
datasource.ts
import { Chart, StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { stackedData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Years',
        interval: 1,
        valueType: 'Category'
    },
    primaryYAxis:
    {
        title: 'Sales in Billions',
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 700,
        interval: 100,
        labelFormat: '{value}B'
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
            //Series type as stacked column
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'UK'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y1',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'Germany'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y2',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'France'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y3',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'Italy'
        }
    ],
    title: 'Mobile Game Market by Country'
}, '#element');

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.

index.ts
index.html
datasource.ts
import { Chart, StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { stackedData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Years',
        interval: 1,
        valueType: 'Category'
    },
    primaryYAxis:
    {
        title: 'Sales in Billions',
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 700,
        interval: 100,
        labelFormat: '{value}B'
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
            //Series type as stacked column
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'UK'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y1',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'Germany'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y2',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'France'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y3',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'Italy'
        }
    ],
    title: 'Mobile Game Market by Country'
}, '#element');

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.

index.ts
index.html
datasource.ts
import { Chart, StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { stackedData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Years',
        interval: 1,
        valueType: 'Category'
    },
    primaryYAxis:
    {
        title: 'Sales in Billions',
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 700,
        interval: 100,
        labelFormat: '{value}B'
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
            //Series type as stacked column
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'UK', fill: '#2F4F4F'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y1',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'Germany', fill: '#556B2F'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y2',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'France', fill: '#8B0000'
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y3',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'Italy', fill: '#00008B'

    { x: '2020', y: 202.7, y1: 197.3, y2: 120.9, y3: 82.0 }
];

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.

index.ts
index.html
datasource.ts
import { Chart, StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';

    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Years',
        interval: 1,
        valueType: 'Category'
    },
    primaryYAxis:
    {
        title: 'Sales in Billions',
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 700,
        interval: 100,
        labelFormat: '{value}B'
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
            //Series type as stacked column

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.

index.ts
index.html
datasource.ts
import { Chart, StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { stackedData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend);

    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Years',
        interval: 1,
        valueType: 'Category'
    },
    primaryYAxis:
    {
        title: 'Sales in Billions',
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 700,
        interval: 100,
        labelFormat: '{value}B'
    },
    series: [

            //Series type as stacked column
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'UK', opacity: 0.7
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y1',

            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'France', opacity: 0.7
        }, 
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y3',
            type: 'StackingColumn', name: 'Italy', opacity: 0.7

Cylindrical stacked column chart

To render a cylindrical stacked column chart, set the columnFacet property to Cylinder in the chart series. This property transforms the regular stacked columns into cylindrical shapes, enhancing the visual representation of the data.

index.ts
index.html
datasource.ts
import { Chart, StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { cylindricalData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Years',
        interval: 1,
        valueType: 'Category'
    },
    primaryYAxis:
    {
        title: 'Sales in Billions',
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 700,
        interval: 100,
        labelFormat: '{value}B'
    },
    //Series type as stacked column with cylinder shape
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: cylindricalData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
            type: 'StackingColumn', columnFacet: 'Cylinder', name: 'UK'

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.

index.ts
index.html
datasource.ts
import { Chart, StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend, ISeriesRenderEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { stackedData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(StackingColumnSeries, Category, Legend);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Years',
        interval: 1,
        valueType: 'Category'
    },
    primaryYAxis:
    {
        title: 'Sales in Billions',
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 700,
        interval: 100,
        labelFormat: '{value}B'
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: stackedData, xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
            //Series type as stacked column
