How can you create custom columns in Chart series?

Description:

There are various types of chart series like Line, Column, Bubble, Area, and each type has its own shape and requirement. When a particular shape is not available by default, you can customize the default shape of any series as follows.

Solution:

You can define the custom templates for the series in the SfChart by using the CustomTemplate property. The DataTemplate defined in this property renders for each data point. This template gets the corresponding segment as the DataContext. For instance, on defining a template for LineSeries, the LineSegment comes as data context for that DataTemplate.

Note: The CustomTemplate property supports limited series only.
