.NET MAUI Column Chart - Analyze and Compare Data Easy

Overview

The .NET MAUI column chart (vertical bar chart) uses vertical bars (called columns) to display different values for one or more items. The column chart is likely the most common chart type being used. It is like a bar chart except that the bars are vertical, not horizontal. Points from other series are drawn as columns next to each other. The chart supports zooming, scrolling, tooltip, and selection.
