Spline Area in Blazor Charts Component

13 Sep 202422 minutes to read

Spline area

Spline Area Chart represents time dependent data and visualizes trends at equal intervals, but with data points connected with a smooth line. To render a spline area series in your chart, define the series Type as SplineArea in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a spline area chart, where data points are connected by smooth, curved lines (splines) instead of straight lines.

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 and YName properties.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

<SfChart>
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="ChartSeriesType.SplineArea">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set;}
        public double Y {get; set;}
    }
	
    public List<ChartData> SalesDetails = new List<ChartData>
	{
        new ChartData { X= "Jan", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Feb", Y= 28 },
        new ChartData { X= "Mar", Y= 34 },
        new ChartData { X= "Apr", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "May", Y= 40 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jun", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jul", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Aug", Y= 55 },
        new ChartData { X= "Sep", Y= 38 },
        new ChartData { X= "Oct", Y= 30 },
        new ChartData { X= "Nov", Y= 25 },
        new ChartData { X= "Dec", Y= 32 }
    };
}

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the Spline 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"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails" Fill="blue" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="ChartSeriesType.SplineArea">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set;}
        public double Y {get; set;}
    }
	
    public List<ChartData> SalesDetails = new List<ChartData>
	{
        new ChartData { X= "Jan", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Feb", Y= 28 },
        new ChartData { X= "Mar", Y= 34 },
        new ChartData { X= "Apr", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "May", Y= 40 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jun", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jul", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Aug", Y= 55 },
        new ChartData { X= "Sep", Y= 38 },
        new ChartData { X= "Oct", Y= 30 },
        new ChartData { X= "Nov", Y= 25 },
        new ChartData { X= "Dec", Y= 32 }
    };
}

The Fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the spline 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"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails" Fill="url(#grad1)" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="ChartSeriesType.SplineArea">
        </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 Y {get; set;}
    }
	
    public List<ChartData> SalesDetails = new List<ChartData>
	{
        new ChartData { X= "Jan", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Feb", Y= 28 },
        new ChartData { X= "Mar", Y= 34 },
        new ChartData { X= "Apr", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "May", Y= 40 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jun", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jul", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Aug", Y= 55 },
        new ChartData { X= "Sep", Y= 38 },
        new ChartData { X= "Oct", Y= 30 },
        new ChartData { X= "Nov", Y= 25 },
        new ChartData { X= "Dec", Y= 32 }
    };
}

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"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails" Opacity="0.5" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="ChartSeriesType.SplineArea">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set;}
        public double Y {get; set;}
    }
	
    public List<ChartData> SalesDetails = new List<ChartData>
	{
        new ChartData { X= "Jan", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Feb", Y= 28 },
        new ChartData { X= "Mar", Y= 34 },
        new ChartData { X= "Apr", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "May", Y= 40 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jun", Y= 32 },
        new ChartData { X= "Jul", Y= 35 },
        new ChartData { X= "Aug", Y= 55 },
        new ChartData { X= "Sep", Y= 38 },
        new ChartData { X= "Oct", Y= 30 },
        new ChartData { X= "Nov", Y= 25 },
        new ChartData { X= "Dec", Y= 32 }
    };
}

DashArray

    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails" DashArray="5,5" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ChartSeriesType.SplineArea">
            <ChartSeriesBorder Width="2" Color="red"></ChartSeriesBorder>
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

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

    public List<ChartData> SalesDetails = new List<ChartData>

    <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails" Width="3" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="ChartSeriesType.Line">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set;}
        public double Y {get; set;}
    }
	
    public List<ChartData> SalesDetails = new List<ChartData>
