StackHeight Property

Description

Gets/sets the height of the "stacks" for this series. This is used to make a 100% stacked style chart.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property StackHeight() As Double

Return Type

Returns the stack height for the series.

Remarks

StackHeight is used to make a 100% stacked chart, but can be set to 80, for example. The chart will use the lowest value that a series has set and ignore all larger values. Setting StackHeight for any series will make all other series use this setting, so only use it if you want to have a "100%" stacked bar/area chart.

The diagrams below show a stacked area and stacked bar chart.

Example

Sample to show how to use StackHeight to create a 100% Stacked Area chart:

Set ChartControl.Content.Series(3).Style = New ChartStackedAreaSeriesStyle  
Set ChartControl.Content.Series(2).Style = New ChartStackedAreaSeriesStyle  
Set ChartControl.Content.Series(1).Style = New ChartStackedAreaSeriesStyle  
Set ChartControl.Content.Series(0).Style = New ChartStackedAreaSeriesStyle  

ChartControl.Content.Series(0).Style.StackHeight = 100  
ChartControl.Content.Series(1).Style.StackHeight = 100  
ChartControl.Content.Series(2).Style.StackHeight = 100  
ChartControl.Content.Series(3).Style.StackHeight = 100
