How to make the Stack Bars overlap.(Make the bars start from zero)

[diandian82]

Hi Telerik,

I have a requirement to implement. After searching a lot, i still can't find a way of doing it,
Here is the senario( Please reference the attached image),

We are using Stack Bars in our chart, you know, the second group of stack bars will stack on the first group stack bars. Only the first group bars can start from 0.

What we want,
1. All groups of stack bars starts from X-axis( which is 0). They should overlap for each column. Is it possible to implement?
2. If we bind the data to chart, the label of bar will show actual number. Is there any way we can change it to whatever text we want?

Thanks and best regards,
George

Hello,

Onto your questions:

1.The series cannot be overlapped in such a manner. You can use a different chart type, if this setup does not meet your requirements well.
2. You can directly set the label for a datapoint, as shown below:

<telerikCharting:DataSeries LegendLabel="Turnover">
<telerikCharting:DataSeries.Definition>
<telerikCharting:LineSeriesDefinition >
</telerikCharting:LineSeriesDefinition>
</telerikCharting:DataSeries.Definition>
<telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="154" XCategory="Jan" Label="custom text"/>
<telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="138" XCategory="Feb"/>
<telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="143" XCategory="Mar"/>

I hope this information helps.

Sincerely yours,

Hello,

The following article:

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radchart-features-chart-types-2d-charts.html

contains a list of all the available chart types. You can review it and see which type meets your requirements best - I assume a stacked bar (100%) is closest to your setup.

All the best,
