WinUI Area Chart - Create Customizable Area Charts

Overview

The WinUI Area Chart is like a line chart that represents time-dependent data and shows the trend at equal intervals, but it fills the area created by the line. This type of chart can be configured with a numerical, category, and date-time axis for the graph. It supports zooming, scrolling, tooltip, trackball, and selection.
