Stacked Bar Chart

[Amy]

Hello,

Can someone please advise on which control - RadChart or RadChartView - would be better suited to implement a dashboard as shown in the attached screenshot?

Thanks,
Amy

Hi,

I would recommend you to consider using RadChartView. A topic where both charts are compared can be found here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radchartview-radchartview-vs.-radchart.html

You should also note that our efforts are concentrated on the newer chart version which in this case is RadChartView.

Hope this helps you choose which one of both controls will fit better in your scenario.

Thank you for the response.  I have started to learn the different aspects of the RadChartView.

Can you also provide some direction as to how to create a Title Bar for the RadChartView similar to the attached screenshot?

Thanks,
Amy

Hello Amy,

There are two ways you can have Chart Title:
1. Retemplate RadChartView default style to add a Label inside the first grid of the Cartesian Chart (see the image attached):

    <!--CartesianChart template-->

                            <Border  x:Name="layoutRoot"

                             BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"

                             BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"

                             Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">

                                <Grid>

                                    <Label Name="TitleBar" Background="WhiteSmoke" VerticalAlignment="Top"

                                      HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Content="My Title Here" ClipToBounds="False"/>

                                    <ContentPresenter x:Name="emptyContent"

                                     HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"

                                     IsHitTestVisible="False"

                                     Visibility="Collapsed"

                                     VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>

...

All default styles and templates for the ChartView control can be found under your controls local installation path (for example: C:\ProgramFiles\Telerik\RadControls_for_Silverlight5_2013_3_1016_Trial\Themes\Windows8\Themes\Telerik.Windows.Controls.Chart.xaml).

2. On the other side you may add such Label or TextBlock outside the visual tree of the RadCartesianChart and position it over the PlotArea via Margins.

Let me know if you need any additional assistance.

Thanks, that was very helpful,

the last question, StackGroupKey Label, is that possible ?

my attachments shows my needs.

thanks for replay

Hello MARIUSZ,

This is not supported out of the box. However you could use a workaround by using a converter and manipulating your axis labels like shown in the attached sample project.

Hope this helps.
