.NET MAUI Step Line Chart

Overview

The .NET MAUI step line chart is similar to the line chart, but it does not use the shortest distance to connect two data points using diagonal lines. Instead, the step line chart uses vertical and horizontal lines to connect data points in a series forming a step-like progression. The step line chart supports numeric, categoric, date-time, and logarithmic axes. It supports zooming and panning, trackball, tooltips, and selection.
