Column chart

To render a column series, use series type as Column and inject ColumnSeries3D module using Chart3D.Inject(ColumnSeries3D) method.

var chartData = [
    { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
    { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
    { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
    { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },
    { country: "France", gold: 50, silver: 45, bronze: 35 },
    { country: "Germany", gold: 40, silver: 30, bronze: 22 },
    { country: "Italy", gold: 40, silver: 35, bronze: 37 },
    { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
];
var chart3D = new ej.charts.Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        // Series type as column series
        type: 'Column'
    }],
    title: 'Olympic Medals',
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,
    rotation: 7,
    tilt: 10,
    depth: 100
}, '#element');

Column space and width

The columnSpacing and columnWidth properties are used to customize the space between columns.

var chartData = [
    { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
    { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
    { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },

    { country: "Germany", gold: 40, silver: 30, bronze: 22 },
    { country: "Italy", gold: 40, silver: 35, bronze: 37 },
    { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
];
var chart3D = new ej.charts.Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        type: 'Column'
    },
    {
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country',
        yName: 'silver',
        columnWidth: 0.75,
        columnSpacing: 0.5,
        type: 'Column',
      }],
    title: 'Olympic Medals',
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,
    rotation: 7,
    tilt: 10,
    depth: 100
}, '#element');

Grouped column

The data points can be grouped in the column type charts by using the groupName property. Data points with same group name are grouped together.

var chart3D = new ej.charts.Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', groupName: 'USA', columnWidth: 0.7,
            dataSource: [{ x: '2012', y: 104 }, { x: '2016', y: 121 }, { x: '2020', y: 113 }], columnSpacing: 0.1,
        },
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', groupName: 'USA', columnWidth: 0.5,
            dataSource: [{ x: '2012', y: 46 }, { x: '2016', y: 46 }, { x: '2020', y: 39 }], columnSpacing: 0.1,
        },
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', groupName: 'UK', columnWidth: 0.7,
            dataSource: [{ x: '2012', y: 65 }, { x: '2016', y: 67 },{ x: '2020', y: 65 }], columnSpacing: 0.1,
        },
        {
            type: 'Column', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', groupName: 'UK', columnWidth: 0.5,
            dataSource: [{ x: '2012', y: 29 }, { x: '2016', y: 27 },{ x: '2020', y: 22 }], columnSpacing: 0.1,
        },
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',
    enableRotation: true,
    rotation: 7,
    tilt: 10,
    depth: 100
}, '#element');

Cylindrical column chart

To render a cylindrical column chart, set the columnFacet property to Cylinder in the chart series.

var chart3D = new ej.charts.Chart3D({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Column', columnFacet: 'Cylinder', xName: 'x', yName: 'y', columnWidth: 0.9,
            dataSource: [{ x: 'Czechia', y: 1.11 }, { x: 'Spain', y: 1.66 },  { x: 'USA', y: 1.56 },{ x: 'Germany', y: 3.1 }, { x: 'Russia', y: 1.35 },   { x: 'Slovakia', y: 1 }, { x: 'South Korea', y: 3.16 },{ x: 'France', y: 0.92 }]
        },
        
    ],
    wallColor: 'transparent',
