Stacked area

To render a stacked area series in your chart, you need to follow a few steps to configure it correctly. Here's a concise guide on how to do this:

• Set the series type: Define the series type as StackingArea in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a stacked area chart, which is ideal for showing the contribution of each part to a total over time or across other categorical data.

{% if page.publishingplatform == "typescript" %}

• Inject the StackingAreaSeries module: Use the Chart.Inject(StackingAreaSeries) method to inject the StackingAreaSeries module into your chart. This step is essential, as it ensures that the necessary functionalities for rendering stacked area series are available in your chart.

{% previewsample "page.domainurl/code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs135" %} {% endif %}

Binding data with series

You can bind data to the chart using the dataSource property within the series configuration. This allows you to connect a JSON dataset or remote data to your chart. To display the data correctly, map the fields from the data to the chart series xName and yName properties.

{% if page.publishingplatform == "typescript" %}

{% tabs %} {% highlight ts tabtitle="index.ts" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs237/index.ts %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight html tabtitle="index.html" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs237/index.html %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight ts tabtitle="datasource.ts" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs237/datasource.ts %} {% endhighlight %} {% endtabs %}

{% previewsample "page.domainurl/code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs237" %}

{% previewsample "page.domainurl/code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs237" %} {% endif %}

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the stacked area series.

Fill

The fill property determines the color applied to the series.

{% if page.publishingplatform == "typescript" %}

{% tabs %} {% highlight ts tabtitle="index.ts" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs136/index.ts %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight html tabtitle="index.html" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs136/index.html %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight ts tabtitle="datasource.ts" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs136/datasource.ts %} {% endhighlight %} {% endtabs %}

{% previewsample "page.domainurl/code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs136" %}

{% elsif page.publishingplatform == "javascript" %}

{% tabs %} {% highlight js tabtitle="index.js" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs136/index.js %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight html tabtitle="index.html" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs136/index.html %} {% endhighlight %} {% endtabs %}

{% previewsample "page.domainurl/code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs136" %} {% endif %}

The fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the stacked area series. By configuring this property with gradient values, you can create a visually appealing effect in which the color transitions smoothly from one shade to another.

{% if page.publishingplatform == "typescript" %}

{% tabs %} {% highlight ts tabtitle="index.ts" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs238/index.ts %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight html tabtitle="index.html" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs238/index.html %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight ts tabtitle="datasource.ts" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs238/datasource.ts %} {% endhighlight %} {% endtabs %}

{% previewsample "page.domainurl/code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs238" %}

{% elsif page.publishingplatform == "javascript" %}

{% tabs %} {% highlight js tabtitle="index.js" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs238/index.js %} {% endhighlight %} {% highlight html tabtitle="index.html" %} {% include code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs238/index.html %} {% endhighlight %} {% endtabs %}

{% previewsample "page.domainurl/code-snippet/chart/chart-types-cs238" %} {% endif %}

Opacity

The opacity property specifies the transparency level of the fill. Adjusting this property allows you to control how opaque or transparent the fill color of the series appears.

• format - Formats the text displayed in the stack labels. Supports placeholders like {value}. Default is null.
• angle - Specifies the rotation angle for stack labels in degrees. Default is 0.
• rx - Defines the rounded corner radius along the X-axis (horizontal direction) for the stack label background. Default is 5.
• ry - Defines the rounded corner radius along the Y-axis (vertical direction) for the stack label background. Default is 5.
• margin - Configures the margin around the stack label (left, right, top, and bottom).
• border - Configures the appearance of the stack label's border.
• font - Customizes the stack label text, including font size, color, style, weight, and family.
