Populate StackedBar Chart with Sparse Data

[Eli Schleifer]

I am looking for some guidance on how to populate a StackedBar chart with Sparse data. Take for example the 3 categories of Animals : Monkeys, Dogs, Cats. My Data set then includes counts of those animals for a given period of time

2010 - Dogs = 7, Cats = 5, Monkeys = 0
2009 - Dogs = 4, Cats = 0, Monkeys = 3
2008 - Dogs = 0, Cats = 0, Monkeys = 22

I don't want the chart to render the zeroes for the animals when they are missing. I just want to present the data for animals that are present. I am building my data now from a List of double[] which does not appear to do the trick. I tried passing in NaN for the blank postions or using double? and NULL but that did not work either.

Please provide some guidance here.

Thanks

Hello Eli Schleifer,

Unfortunately the current version of the control does not provide proper support for sparse data scenarios (i.e. empty values) and at the moment it is not possible to hide the "zero" labels. We will do our best to introduce public API to control the labels visibility in this scenario for the next official release that is scheduled around mid-July.

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.


Kind regards,
Freddie

Has this been accomplished yet? If so, can you please provide an example in C# of how to hide a zero value in a data series? Thanks!

Hello Sam,

You can achieve the desired appearance by setting the StackedBarSeriesDefinition.LabelSettings.ShowZeroValueLabels property to false.
