13 Jun 20246 minutes to read
This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor 3D Chart component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio.
Prerequisites
Create a new Blazor Web App
You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio 2022 via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion Blazor Extension.
You need to configure the corresponding Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web Application.
Install Syncfusion Blazor 3D Chart NuGet in the Blazor Web App
To add Blazor 3D Chart component in the app, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), search and install Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.
If you utilize WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App need to be install Syncfusion Blazor components NuGet packages within the client project.
Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D -Version 26.1.35NOTE
Syncfusion Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic for available NuGet packages list with component details.
Register Syncfusion Blazor Service
Open ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D namespace.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3DNow, register the Syncfusion Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor Web App.
If you select an Interactive render mode as WebAssembly or Auto (Server and WebAssembly), you need to register the Syncfusion Blazor service in both ~/Program.cs files of your Blazor Web App.
....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....Add script resources
The script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the script reference at the end of the <body> in the ~/Components/App.razor file as shown below:
<head>
....
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>NOTE
Check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.
Add Syncfusion Blazor 3D Chart component
Add the Syncfusion Blazor 3D Chart component in .razor file inside the Pages folder. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at top of the component, as follows:
@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto<SfChart3D>
</SfChart3D>- Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion Blazor 3D Chart component in your default web browser.
Populate Blazor 3D Chart with data
To bind data for the 3D chart component, you can assign a IEnumerable object to the DataSource property. It can also be provided as an instance of the DataManager.
public class SalesInfo
{
public string Month { get; set; }
public double SalesValue { get; set; }
}
public List<SalesInfo> Sales = new List<SalesInfo>
{
new SalesInfo { Month = "Jan", SalesValue = 35 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Feb", SalesValue = 28 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Mar", SalesValue = 34 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Apr", SalesValue = 32 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "May", SalesValue = 40 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Jun", SalesValue = 32 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Jul", SalesValue = 35 }
};Now, map the data fields Month and Sales to the series XName and YName properties, then set the data to the DataSource property, and the chart type to Column because we will be viewing the data in a column chart.
Add 3D Chart title
Using the Title property, you can add a title to the chart and the axes to provide the user with quick information about the data plotted in the chart.
<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
<Chart3DPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
<Chart3DPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></Chart3DPrimaryYAxis>
<Chart3DSeriesCollection>
<Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
</Chart3DSeries>
</Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>Enable legend
You can use legend for the 3D Chart by setting the Visible property to true in Chart3DLegendSettings. The legend name can be changed by using the Name property in the series.
<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
<Chart3DPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
<Chart3DLegendSettings Visible="true"></Chart3DLegendSettings>
<Chart3DSeriesCollection>
<Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" Name="Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
</Chart3DSeries>
</Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>Add data label
You can add data labels to improve the readability of the 3D Chart. This can be achieved by setting the Visible property to true in the Chart3DDataLabel. Now, the data labels are arranged smartly based on series.
<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
<Chart3DPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
<Chart3DSeriesCollection>
<Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
<Chart3DDataLabel Visible="true"></Chart3DDataLabel>
</Chart3DSeries>
</Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>Enable tooltip
The tooltip is useful when you cannot display information by using the data labels due to space constraints. You can enable tooltip by setting the Enable property in Chart3DTooltipSettings to true.
<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
<Chart3DPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
<Chart3DPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></Chart3DPrimaryYAxis>
<Chart3DTooltipSettings Enable="true"></Chart3DTooltipSettings>
<Chart3DSeriesCollection>
<Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
</Chart3DSeries>
</Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>
