What are the different Chart Types supported by Essential Chart?

Essential Chart supports different types of Chart like Area charts, Line Charts, Financial charts, Bar charts, Accumulation Charts, Pie Chart, Polar And Radar Charts, Other Charts, Bubble Chart and Scatter chart.

For each Chart we can add any number of series. To add points to series Points.Add() method is used. To add a series into Chart Control Series.Add() method is used. To select the particular type of chart ChartSeriesType enumeration is used.

The following code snippet illustrates how to create a Bar Chart

C#

// Creating first series

ChartSeries series1 = this.chartControl1.Model.NewSeries("Server1",ChartSeriesType.Bar);

series1.Text = series1.Name;

series1.Points.Add(0, 25);

series1.Points.Add(1, 49);

series1.Points.Add(2, 38);

series1.Points.Add(3, 43);

series1.Points.Add(4, 32);

// Creating second series

ChartSeries series2 = this.chartControl1.Model.NewSeries("Server 2", ChartSeriesType.Bar);

series2.Text = series2.Name;

series2.Points.Add(0, 43);

series2.Points.Add(1, 45);

series2.Points.Add(2, 40);

series2.Points.Add(3, 36);

series2.Points.Add(4, 42);

// Adding the series into Chart control

this.chartControl1.Series.Add(series1);

this.chartControl1.Series.Add(series2);

VB

' Creating first series

Dim series1 As ChartSeries = Me.chartControl1.Model.NewSeries("Server1" , ChartSeriesType.Bar )

series1.Text = series1.Name

series1.Points.Add(0, 25)

series1.Points.Add(1, 49)

series1.Points.Add(2, 38)

series1.Points.Add(3, 43)

series1.Points.Add(4, 32)

' Creating second series

Dim series2 As ChartSeries = Me.chartControl1.Model.NewSeries("Server 2" , ChartSeriesType.Bar)

series2.Text = series2.Name

series2.Points.Add(0, 43)

series2.Points.Add(1, 45)

series2.Points.Add(2, 40)

series2.Points.Add(3, 36)

series2.Points.Add(4, 42)

' Adding the series into Chart control

Me.chartControl1.Series.Add(series1)

Me.chartControl1.Series.Add(series2)
