Here is an example for adding Interactive Stacked Bar Charts into your ASP.NET MVC Application using CanvasJS. Stacked Bar Charts have data points stacked one on top of the other instead of placing them side-by-side. This allows you to compare the contribution of different data series to the total at a given point. You should use Stacked bar when multiple data-series can be added up to show combined result like total sales of various products, etc.
Please refer to this tutorial for step by step instruction of adding charts to your ASP.Net MVC Application. We recommend that you download the Sample Visual Studio Project and try it on your own to understand the API better.
var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer", {
.
.
data: [{
type: "stackedBar",
dataPoints: [
{ y: 6, label: "Apple" },
{ y: 4, label: "Mango" },
{ y: 5, label: "Orange" },
]
},
{
type: "stackedBar",
dataPoints: [
{ y: 2, label: "Apple" },
{ y: 6, label: "Mango" },
{ y: 4, label: "Orange" },
]
}]
.
.
}
You can further customize these charts to enable features like Zooming, Panning, Exporting, etc. To know more about the available features, please refer to our getting started section.
