Mixed Charts

In This Topic

You can add multiple series to your charts and set a different ChartType for each series. Such charts are helpful in analyzing complex chart data on a single canvas. The same data can be used with different visualizations or related data can be displayed together to convey trends.

The following image shows a FlexChart with multiple series.

The following code examples demonstrate how to create multiple instances of type ChartSeries with different ChartTypes and add them to the FlexChart control.

In Code

C#	Copy Code
ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries(); series.SeriesName = "Sales"; series.Binding = "Sales"; series.ChartType = ChartType.Column; series.Style.Fill = Color.FromHex("#7278B2"); series.Style.Stroke = Color.FromHex("#2D3047"); chart.Series.Add(series); ChartSeries series1 = new ChartSeries(); series1.SeriesName = "Expenses"; series1.Binding = "Expenses"; series1.ChartType = ChartType.Column; series1.Style.Fill = Color.FromHex("#FAA9B4"); series1.Style.Stroke = Color.FromHex("#F6546A"); chart.Series.Add(series1); ChartSeries series2 = new ChartSeries(); series2.SeriesName = "Downloads"; series2.Binding = "Downloads"; series2.ChartType = ChartType.Line; chart.Series.Add(series2);

Copy Code

ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries();
series.SeriesName = "Sales";
series.Binding = "Sales";
series.ChartType = ChartType.Column;
series.Style.Fill = Color.FromHex("#7278B2");
series.Style.Stroke = Color.FromHex("#2D3047");
chart.Series.Add(series);

ChartSeries series1 = new ChartSeries();
series1.SeriesName = "Expenses";
series1.Binding = "Expenses";
series1.ChartType = ChartType.Column;
series1.Style.Fill = Color.FromHex("#FAA9B4");
series1.Style.Stroke = Color.FromHex("#F6546A");
chart.Series.Add(series1);

ChartSeries series2 = new ChartSeries();
series2.SeriesName = "Downloads";
series2.Binding = "Downloads";
series2.ChartType = ChartType.Line;
chart.Series.Add(series2);
