How to create a dotted line in WinUI Chart (SfCartesianChart)?
This section explains how to create dotted line charts using Syncfusion® WinUI cartesian charts.
In WinUI Cartesian Chart, you can create a line chart with a dashed appearance by utilizing the StrokeDashArray property of the LineSeries. The example below demonstrates how to implement this:
If you are new to our control, refer to this KB documentation, which helps you to create a WinUI line chart.
[XAML]
<chart:SfCartesianChart>
<chart:SfCartesianChart.DataContext>
<local:ViewModel/>
</chart:SfCartesianChart.DataContext>
<chart:SfCartesianChart.XAxes>
<chart:CategoryAxis/>
</chart:SfCartesianChart.XAxes>
<chart:SfCartesianChart.YAxes>
<chart:NumericalAxis/>
</chart:SfCartesianChart.YAxes>
<chart:LineSeries XBindingPath="Year"
YBindingPath="Counts"
ItemsSource="{Binding Data}"
ShowDataLabels="True">
<chart:LineSeries.StrokeDashArray>
<DoubleCollection>
<x:Double>3</x:Double>
<x:Double>3</x:Double>
</DoubleCollection>
</chart:LineSeries.StrokeDashArray>
</chart:LineSeries>
</chart:SfCartesianChart>
[C#]
var chart = new SfCartesianChart();
ViewModel viewModel = new ViewModel();
// Initializing X-Axes.
var xAxis = new CategoryAxis();
chart.XAxes.Add(xAxis);
// Initializing Y-Axes.
var yAxis = new NumericalAxis();
chart.YAxes.Add(yAxis);
// Initializing stroke dash array for line series.
var strokeDashArray = new DoubleCollection() { 3, 3 };
var series = new LineSeries()
{
ItemsSource = viewModel.Data,
XBindingPath = "Year",
YBindingPath = "Counts",
ShowDataLabels = true,
StrokeDashArray = strokeDashArray,
};
chart.Series.Add(series);
