Xamarin.Forms Xamarin Charts Step Area Chart

Overview

The Xamarin.Forms step area chart is similar to the area chart, but it does not use the shortest distance to connect two data points using diagonal lines. Instead, the step area chart uses vertical and horizontal lines to connect the data points in a series forming a step-like progression.
