Range Area in Blazor Charts Component

13 Sep 202422 minutes to read

Range area

Range Area Chart shows variation in the data values for a given time. The area between the high and low range is filled. To render a Range Area series in your chart, you need to follow a few steps to configure it correctly. Here’s a concise guide on how to do this:

  1. Set the series type: Define the series Type as RangeArea in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a range area chart, which is ideal for visualizing a range of values for each data point. This type of chart is particularly useful for displaying data that has a range between a minimum and maximum value, such as temperature ranges, stock price ranges, or any other type of data that varies within a specific interval.

  2. Provide high and low values: The RangeArea series requires two y-values for each data point, you need to specify both the high and low values. The high value represents the maximum range, while the low value represents the minimum range for each data point. These values define the upper and lower boundaries of the area for each point on the chart.

Binding data with series

You can bind data to the chart using the DataSource property within the series configuration. The DataSource value can be set using either SfDataManager property values or a list of business objects. More information on data binding can be found here. To display the data correctly, map the fields from the data to the chart series’ XName, High and Low properties.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

<SfChart>
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"/>
	
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@WeatherReports" XName="X" High="High" Low="Low" Type="ChartSeriesType.RangeArea">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set; }
        public double Low { get; set; }
        public double High { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> WeatherReports = new List<ChartData>
    {
         new ChartData { X= "Sun", Low= 2.5, High= 9.8 },
         new ChartData { X= "Mon", Low= 4.7, High= 11.4 },
         new ChartData { X= "Tue", Low= 6.4, High= 14.4 },
         new ChartData { X= "Wed", Low= 9.6, High= 17.2 },
         new ChartData { X= "Thu", Low= 7.5, High= 15.1 },
         new ChartData { X= "Fri", Low= 3.0, High= 10.5 },
         new ChartData { X= "Sat", Low= 1.2, High= 7.9 }
    };
}

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the Range Area series.

Fill

The Fill property determines the color applied to the series.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

<SfChart>
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category" />
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@WeatherReports" XName="X" High="High" Low="Low" Fill="blue" Type="ChartSeriesType.RangeArea"></ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code {
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set; }
        public double Low { get; set; }
        public double High { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> WeatherReports = new List<ChartData>
    {
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sun", Low=  2.5, High=  9.8 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Mon", Low=  4.7, High=  11.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Tue", Low=  6.4, High=  14.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Wed", Low=  9.6, High=  17.2 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Thu", Low=  7.5, High=  15.1 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Fri", Low=  3.0, High=  10.5 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sat", Low=  1.2, High=  7.9 }
    };
}

The Fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the range area series. By configuring this property with gradient values, you can create a visually appealing effect in which the color transitions smoothly from one shade to another.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

<SfChart>
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category" />
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@WeatherReports" XName="X" High="High" Low="Low" Fill="url(#grad1)" Type="ChartSeriesType.RangeArea"></ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

<svg style="height: 0">
    <defs>
        <linearGradient id="grad1" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="0%" y2="100%">
            <stop offset="20%" style="stop-color:orange;stop-opacity:1" />
            <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:black;stop-opacity:1" />
        </linearGradient>
    </defs>
</svg>

@code {
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set; }
        public double Low { get; set; }
        public double High { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> WeatherReports = new List<ChartData>
    {
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sun", Low=  2.5, High=  9.8 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Mon", Low=  4.7, High=  11.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Tue", Low=  6.4, High=  14.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Wed", Low=  9.6, High=  17.2 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Thu", Low=  7.5, High=  15.1 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Fri", Low=  3.0, High=  10.5 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sat", Low=  1.2, High=  7.9 }
    };
}

Opacity

The Opacity property specifies the transparency level of the Fill. Adjusting this property allows you to control how opaque or transparent the fill color of the series appears.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

<SfChart>
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category" />
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@WeatherReports" XName="X" High="High" Low="Low" Fill="blue" Opacity="0.5" Type="ChartSeriesType.RangeArea"></ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code {
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set; }
        public double Low { get; set; }
        public double High { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> WeatherReports = new List<ChartData>
    {
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sun", Low=  2.5, High=  9.8 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Mon", Low=  4.7, High=  11.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Tue", Low=  6.4, High=  14.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Wed", Low=  9.6, High=  17.2 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Thu", Low=  7.5, High=  15.1 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Fri", Low=  3.0, High=  10.5 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sat", Low=  1.2, High=  7.9 }
    };
}

DashArray

The DashArray property determines the pattern of dashes and gaps in the series border.

        <ChartSeries DataSource="@WeatherReports" XName="X" High="High" Low="Low" Opacity="0.5"
                     DashArray="5,5" Fill="blue" Type="ChartSeriesType.RangeArea">
            <ChartSeriesBorder Width="2" Color="red"></ChartSeriesBorder>
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set; }
        public double Low { get; set; }
        public double High { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> WeatherReports = new List<ChartData>
	{
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sun", Low=  2.5, High=  9.8 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Mon", Low=  4.7, High=  11.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Tue", Low=  6.4, High=  14.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Wed", Low=  9.6, High=  17.2 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Thu", Low=  7.5, High=  15.1 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Fri", Low=  3.0, High=  10.5 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sat", Low=  1.2, High=  7.9 }
    };
}

Series Border

The ChartSeriesBorder property determines the Color and Width of series border.

                     DashArray="5,5" Fill="blue" Type="ChartSeriesType.RangeArea">
            <ChartSeriesBorder Width="2" Color="red"></ChartSeriesBorder>
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set; }
        public double Low { get; set; }
        public double High { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> WeatherReports = new List<ChartData>
	{
        new  ChartData { X=  "Sun", Low=  2.5, High=  9.8 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Mon", Low=  4.7, High=  11.4 },
        new  ChartData { X=  "Tue", Low=  6.4, High=  14.4 },

        new  ChartData { X=  "Sat", Low=  1.2, High=  7.9 }
    };
}

Empty points

Data points with null, double.NaN or undefined values are considered empty. Empty data points are ignored and not plotted on the chart.
