Given below is the list of 2D charts that falls under the Bar Chart category.
Bar Chart
In a Bar Chart, values are represented by the height of the bar shaped marker as measured by the y-axis. Category labels are displayed on the x-axis. Use a bar chart to compare values of items across categories.
Chart Information |
|
---|---|
ChartType | Bar2D |
Number of Y values per data point | 1 |
Number of series | 1 or more |
Marker support | Series or Data Point |
Custom Properties | The Gap property gets or sets the space between the bars of each X axis value. |
Below is an example of how to set the custom chart properties at run time for a bar chart.
Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
---|---|
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Gap") = 50.0F |
C# |
Copy Code

---|---|
this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Gap"] = 50f; |
Gantt Chart
The Gantt chart is a project management tool used to chart the progress of individual project tasks. The chart compares project task completion to the task schedule.
Caution: In a Gantt chart, the X and Y axes are reversed. AxisX is vertical and AxisY is horizontal. |

Horizontal Bar Chart
In a Horizontal Bar Chart, both the axes are swapped and therefore the bars appears horizontally. Although, values are represented by the height of the bar shaped marker as measured by the y-axis and the Category labels are displayed on the x-axis. Use a horizontal bar chart to compare values of items across categories.

Stacked Bar Chart
A stacked bar chart is a bar chart with two or more data series stacked one on top of the other. Use this chart to show how each value contributes to a total.

Stacked Bar Chart 100%
A StackedBar100Pct chart is a bar chart with two or more data series stacked one on top of the other to sum up to 100%. Use this chart to show how each value contributes to a total with the relative size of each series representing its contribution to the total.
