Mixed Charts

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.

In Code

C#	Copy Code
public static FlexChart GetChartControl() { //Create an instance of the Control and set its properties FlexChart chart = new FlexChart(); FlexChartDataSource ds = new FlexChartDataSource(); chart.ItemsSource = ds.Data; chart.BindingX = "Name"; //Create the first series ChartSeries _series = new ChartSeries(chart, "2014 Sales", "Sales"); _series.ChartType = ChartType.Column; _series.Color = Color.FromHex("#89BE44"); //Create the second series series ChartSeries _series2 = new ChartSeries(chart, "2014 Expenses", "Expenses"); _series2.ChartType = ChartType.Column; _series2.Color = Color.FromHex("#F6546A"); //Create the third series ChartSeries _series3 = new ChartSeries(chart, "2014 Downloads", "Downloads"); _series3.ChartType = ChartType.Line; _series3.Color = Color.FromHex("#FFAA00"); //Add all the series to the chart chart.Series.Add(_series) ; chart.Series.Add(_series2); chart.Series.Add(_series3); return chart; }

Copy Code

public static FlexChart GetChartControl()
{
    //Create an instance of the Control and set its properties
    FlexChart chart = new FlexChart();
    FlexChartDataSource ds = new FlexChartDataSource();
    chart.ItemsSource = ds.Data;
    chart.BindingX = "Name";
  

    //Create the first series
    ChartSeries _series = new ChartSeries(chart, "2014 Sales", "Sales");
    _series.ChartType = ChartType.Column;
    _series.Color = Color.FromHex("#89BE44");

    //Create the second series series
    ChartSeries _series2 = new ChartSeries(chart, "2014 Expenses", "Expenses");
    _series2.ChartType = ChartType.Column;
    _series2.Color = Color.FromHex("#F6546A");

    //Create the third series
    ChartSeries _series3 = new ChartSeries(chart, "2014 Downloads", "Downloads");
    _series3.ChartType = ChartType.Line;
    _series3.Color = Color.FromHex("#FFAA00");

    //Add all the series to the chart
    chart.Series.Add(_series) ;
    chart.Series.Add(_series2);
    chart.Series.Add(_series3);
   
    return chart;
}
