Add the Step Area chart type

[Cristi S.]

Most other chart apps have it, or can be emulated from a Step Line, with colored area below. I tried to do it on FusionCharts, but no effect.

 

Something like

options.type = "msstepline";
options.dataSource.chart.plotFillAlpha = "50";

will still produce a step line (the area below is not filled).

 

And "mssteparea" or "steparea" are not known as chart  types.

 

Best Regards,

Hello,

 

Thanks for the query.

 

As of now step area chart is not supported by FusionCharts.

 

Kindly enlighten us with the use case of such chart type, so we will discuss internally about the feasibility.

Hello,

 

As a workaround you can use stacked column chart to achieve your requirement.

 

Kindly refer the sample fiddle below for the implementation.

Thanks, Prerana, but no, your fiddle shows rather a histogram.

 

A simple "step area chart" in google returns, in first page alone, examples from many of your competitors: Google Charts, AnyChart, CanvasJS, Infragistics, DevExpress, amCharts.

 

And this is what I see in Google Images...

 

Cheers,

Cristian
