Full-Stacked Bar Chart

  • 4 minutes to read

#Short Description

The Full-Stacked Bar Chart (100%-Stacked Bar Chart) is represented by the FullStackedBar3DSeriesView object, which belongs to Bar and Column Series Views. This view displays all series stacked, with a single bar for each category. The height of each bar is always the full height of the chart diagram (i.e., 1). Series values are displayed as percentages of each bar.

A Full-Stacked Bar chart is shown in the image below.

Note

A Full-Stacked Bar chart can display series that contain data points with positive or negative values. A series with positive values, however, is stacked only with other series that contain positive values; and a series with negative values is stacked with series that contain negative values.

Note that if a series contains data points with both positive and negative values, it is treated as a series with positive values, while all its negative values are treated as zeros.

#Example

The following example creates a ChartControl with two series of the FullStackedBar3DSeriesView type, sets their general properties, and adds this chart to a form at runtime. Before proceeding with this example, first create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio, and add all required assemblies to the project’s References list.

Then, add the following code to the Form.Load event handler.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
// ...

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    // Create an empty chart.
    ChartControl fullStackedBar3DChart = new ChartControl();

    // Create two series of the FullStackedBar3D view type.
    Series series1 = new Series("Series 1", ViewType.FullStackedBar3D);
    Series series2 = new Series("Series 2", ViewType.FullStackedBar3D);

    // Populate both series with points.
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 80));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 20));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 50));
    series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 30));
    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("A", 40));
    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("B", 60));
    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("C", 20));
    series2.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("D", 80));

    // Add the series to the chart.
    fullStackedBar3DChart.Series.AddRange(new Series[] {
        series1,
        series2});

    // Adjust the view-type-specific options of the second series.
    FullStackedBar3DSeriesView myView = (FullStackedBar3DSeriesView)series2.View;
    myView.Transparency = 160;
    myView.Model = Bar3DModel.Cylinder;
    myView.ShowFacet = false;

    // Access the diagram's options.
    ((XYDiagram3D)fullStackedBar3DChart.Diagram).ZoomPercent = 110;

    // Add a title to the chart and hide the legend.
    ChartTitle chartTitle1 = new ChartTitle();
    chartTitle1.Text = "3D Full Stacked Bar Chart";
    fullStackedBar3DChart.Titles.Add(chartTitle1);
    fullStackedBar3DChart.Legend.Visible = false;

    // Add the chart to the form.
    fullStackedBar3DChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    this.Controls.Add(fullStackedBar3DChart);
}
