Here is an example for adding Interactive Stacked Column Charts into your ASP.NET MVC Application using CanvasJS. Stacked Column Charts show relation between individual values to the total sum. Here the data points from different series are stacked one on top of the other instead of placing them side-by-side like in standard multi-series chart.
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: "stackedColumn",
dataPoints: [
{ y: 6, label: "Apple" },
{ y: 4, label: "Mango" },
{ y: 5, label: "Orange" },
]
},
{
type: "stackedColumn",
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.
