Avoid auto stack when adding points with the same x name

[Rodrigo]

I need to produce a column chart like this:

As you can see, it has repeated names in X axis: down, up, down, up, etc...

Nevertheless, when I add the points to the series, the graphic automatically stacks them:

How to avoid this behavior and let each point represent a different column?

Best,

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo, 

 

We have analyzed your query and achieved your requirement by using Indexed property in chart and SortPoints as false in series with adding custom labels in axis as per the below code snippet. 

 

            this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Custom; 

            

            BindingList<SalesData> dataSource = new BindingList<SalesData>(); 

            dataSource.Add(new SalesData("down", -39.6348)); 

            dataSource.Add(new SalesData("up", -61.405)); 

            dataSource.Add(new SalesData("down", -23.281)); 

            dataSource.Add(new SalesData("up", -39.223)); 

            dataSource.Add(new SalesData("down", 24.2998)); 

            dataSource.Add(new SalesData("up", 59.0369)); 

... 

            ChartSeries chartSeries = new ChartSeries("Sales"); 

            chartSeries.SortPoints = false; 

            this.chartControl1.Indexed = true; 

            ChartDataBindAxisLabelModel dataLabelsModel = new ChartDataBindAxisLabelModel(dataSource); 

            dataLabelsModel.LabelName = "Year"; 

            this.chartControl1.Series.Add(chartSeries); 

            this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.LabelsImpl = dataLabelsModel; 

            this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.CustomLabelsParameter = ChartCustomLabelsParameter.Position;
