The Xamarin.Forms bar chart is used to compare the frequency, count, total, or average of data in different categories. It is ideal for showing variations in the value of an item over time.
Compare two different types of relational values using bar chart that overlap one another in Xamarin.Forms.
Apply gradient colors to visualize data in different colors, improving the readability and appearance of the chart.
Modernize the UI by applying rounded corners to the bar chart.
Use multiple axes to plot different data sets that widely vary from one other.
Easily get started with the Xamarin Bar Chart using a few simple lines of C# code example as demonstrated below,
