C# .NET Chart Types

Bar and Column Charts

Column Charts

Compare multiple data series over time in a vertical bar or column chart. FlexChart supports displaying negative values below the axis origin.

Bar Stacked Charts

Stacked charts demonstrate the part-to-whole relationship for displaying the cumulative values of categories. FlexChart provides options to stack column charts in groups.

Bar Stacked 100 Charts

Compare percentages for each value within the total. The cumulative proportion of each stacked column always totals one hundred percent.

Bar Charts

Rotate the column chart to compare multiple, categorical data series in a basic horizontal bar chart.

Floating Bar Chart

A floating bar or range column chart shows two values, a minimum and maximum, for each column or bar. The plot can be rotated to create a Gantt-style chart as well.

Tornado Charts

Tornado charts, also known as wing bar or butterfly charts, are a variation of bar charts for comparing two sets of data values in a vertical stack of horizontal bars.

Line and Area Charts

Line Charts

Display changes in data over short and long periods of time with a basic line chart with optional symbols.

Line Stacked Charts

Stacked line chart series do not overlap because they are cumulative at each point, and ideal for visualizing the overall total.

Step Charts

Step line charts help visualize changes at a specific point. Data points are connected through vertical and horizontal lines. Display symbols or fill the area.

Spline Charts

Spline charts connect the data points with smooth lines and use numeric, category, datetime, or logarithmic axis to plot data. .NET spline charts support symbols, stacking and axis rotation.

Area Charts

Fill in the area below the line to demonstrate trends in similar categories. .NET area charts support stacking, spline and axis rotation.

Range Area Charts

Fill in the area below the line to demonstrate trends in similar categories. Shows variations in the data values for a given time.

Scatter Charts

Demonstrate correlation between data points and a set of numerical data along the x-axis and the y-axis. Scatter charts combine values into single data points and display uneven intervals or clusters.

Bubble Charts

Create rich, visually appealing data modeling and financial charts with bubble charts. This .NET chart allows you to display your data series as a set of differently-sized symbols in the chart space.

Financial Charts

Candlestick Charts

The candlestick chart displays the Open, Close, High, and Low Stock Prices for each day in the series. The vertical bar spans the High and Low values for the day.

HLOC Charts

Also known as high-low-open-close, HLOC charts illustrate movements in the price of a financial instrument over time.

More Financial Charts

With Studio Enterprise you get FinancialChart, which includes 9 additional chart types including Heikin-Ashi, Kagi, Renko and more.

Pie and Sunburst Charts

Pie Charts

.NET pie charts show how parts of a whole add up to 100%. FlexPie features include doughnut, exploded slices, animation, selection, and rotation.

Sunburst Charts

Visualize hierarchical data from a root node (center) outward to lower hierarchies. A segment of the inner circle is a parent to the segments of the outer circle which lie within the angular sweep of a parent.

Multiple Pie Charts

Use FlexPie to visualize more data in a single chart by creating multiple pie chart "series" using the same data source. An effective way of presenting data, especially if the intent is to show one section relative to the whole.
