Step area

To render a 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 StepArea in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a step area chart, which connects data points with vertical and horizontal lines, creating a step like appearance.

  2. Inject the StepAreaSeries module: Inject StepAreaSeries module into the services. This step is essential, as it ensures that the necessary functionalities for rendering step area series are available in your chart.

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, Legend, StepAreaSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { stepAreaData } from './datasource';
function App() {
    const primaryxAxis = { valueType: 'Double', title: 'Overs' };
    const primaryyAxis = { title: 'Runs' };
    return <ChartComponent id='charts' primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis} primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis} title='Annual Temperature Comparison'>
      <Inject services={[StepAreaSeries, Legend]}/>
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={stepAreaData} xName='x' yName='y' name='England' type='StepArea'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,
         Legend, StepAreaSeries}
from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { stepAreaData } from './datasource';

function App() {
  const primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { valueType: 'Double', title: 'Overs' };
  const primaryyAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Runs' };

  return <ChartComponent id='charts'
      primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis}
      primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis}
      title='Annual Temperature Comparison'>
      <Inject services={[StepAreaSeries, Legend]} />
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={stepAreaData} xName='x' yName='y' name='England' type='StepArea'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>

};
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));
export let stepAreaData = [
    { x: 1,  y: 7 },  { x: 2,  y: 1 }, 
    { x: 3,  y: 1 },  { x: 4,  y: 14 }, 
    { x: 5,  y: 1 },  { x: 6,  y: 10 },
    { x: 7,  y: 8 },  { x: 8,  y: 6 }, 
    { x: 9,  y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, 
    { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, 
    { x: 15, y: 5 },  { x: 16, y: 2 }, 
    { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 },  { x: 20, y: 10 }
];
export let stepAreaData: Object[] = [
    { x: 1,  y: 7 },  { x: 2,  y: 1 }, 
    { x: 3,  y: 1 },  { x: 4,  y: 14 }, 
    { x: 5,  y: 1 },  { x: 6,  y: 10 },
    { x: 7,  y: 8 },  { x: 8,  y: 6 }, 
    { x: 9,  y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, 
    { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, 
    { x: 15, y: 5 },  { x: 16, y: 2 }, 
    { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 },  { x: 20, y: 10 }
];

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 * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, Legend, StepAreaSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { stepAreaData } from './datasource';
function App() {
    const primaryxAxis = { valueType: 'Double', title: 'Overs' };
    const primaryyAxis = { title: 'Runs' };
    return <ChartComponent id='charts' primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis} primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis} title='Annual Temperature Comparison'>
      <Inject services={[StepAreaSeries, Legend]}/>
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={stepAreaData} xName='x' yName='y' name='England' type='StepArea'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,
         Legend, StepAreaSeries}
from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { stepAreaData } from './datasource';

function App() {
  const primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { valueType: 'Double', title: 'Overs' };
  const primaryyAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Runs' };

  return <ChartComponent id='charts'
      primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis}
      primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis}
      title='Annual Temperature Comparison'>
      <Inject services={[StepAreaSeries, Legend]} />
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={stepAreaData} xName='x' yName='y' name='England' type='StepArea'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>

};
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));
export let stepAreaData = [
    { x: 1,  y: 7 },  { x: 2,  y: 1 }, 
    { x: 3,  y: 1 },  { x: 4,  y: 14 }, 
    { x: 5,  y: 1 },  { x: 6,  y: 10 },
    { x: 7,  y: 8 },  { x: 8,  y: 6 }, 
    { x: 9,  y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, 
    { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, 
    { x: 15, y: 5 },  { x: 16, y: 2 }, 
    { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 },  { x: 20, y: 10 }
];
export let stepAreaData: Object[] = [
    { x: 1,  y: 7 },  { x: 2,  y: 1 }, 
    { x: 3,  y: 1 },  { x: 4,  y: 14 }, 
    { x: 5,  y: 1 },  { x: 6,  y: 10 },
    { x: 7,  y: 8 },  { x: 8,  y: 6 }, 
    { x: 9,  y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, 
    { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, 
    { x: 15, y: 5 },  { x: 16, y: 2 }, 
    { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 },  { x: 20, y: 10 }
];

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the step area series.

Fill

The fill property determines the color applied to the series.

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, Legend, StepAreaSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { stepAreaData } from './datasource';
function App() {
    const primaryxAxis = { valueType: 'Double', title: 'Overs' };
    const primaryyAxis = { title: 'Runs' };
    return <ChartComponent id='charts' primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis} primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis} title='Annual Temperature Comparison'>
      <Inject services={[StepAreaSeries, Legend]}/>
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={stepAreaData} xName='x' yName='y' name='England' type='StepArea' fill= 'yellow'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,
         Legend, StepAreaSeries}
from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { stepAreaData } from './datasource';

function App() {
  const primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { valueType: 'Double', title: 'Overs' };
  const primaryyAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Runs' };

  return <ChartComponent id='charts'
      primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis}
      primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis}
      title='Annual Temperature Comparison'>
      <Inject services={[StepAreaSeries, Legend]} />
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={stepAreaData} xName='x' yName='y' type='StepArea' fill= 'yellow'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>

};
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));
export let stepAreaData = [
    { x: 1,  y: 7 },  { x: 2,  y: 1 }, 
    { x: 3,  y: 1 },  { x: 4,  y: 14 }, 
    { x: 5,  y: 1 },  { x: 6,  y: 10 },
    { x: 7,  y: 8 },  { x: 8,  y: 6 }, 
    { x: 9,  y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, 
    { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, 
    { x: 15, y: 5 },  { x: 16, y: 2 }, 
    { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 },  { x: 20, y: 10 }
];
export let stepAreaData: Object[] = [
    { x: 1,  y: 7 },  { x: 2,  y: 1 }, 
    { x: 3,  y: 1 },  { x: 4,  y: 14 }, 
    { x: 5,  y: 1 },  { x: 6,  y: 10 },
    { x: 7,  y: 8 },  { x: 8,  y: 6 }, 
    { x: 9,  y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, 
    { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, 
    { x: 15, y: 5 },  { x: 16, y: 2 }, 
    { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 },  { x: 20, y: 10 }
];

The fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the 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.

No risers

You can eliminate the vertical lines between points by using the ‘noRisers’property in a series. This approach is useful for highlighting trends without the distraction of risers.

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,
         Legend, StepAreaSeries}

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.
