Customising BarSeries to display the value within the bar - Charts for WPF Forum

Posted 4 years ago by Colin H

Version: 20.1.1

I have some BarSeries charts, and am using the LabelVisibility to show the bar's Y 'value'. I'd prefer though to display the Y value within the bar. (Hope that makes sense - I can't spot a way to paste an example image into this post)

Is this possible, and if so, any pointers/tips to how to customise it....?

Hi Colin,

You could probably do this by customizing the BarSeries.BarTemplate.

If you open our BarStyles QuickStart and add this to the BarSeriesStyle's Setters, you should be able to see the value in the bar:

<Setter Property="BarTemplate">
	<Setter.Value>
		<DataTemplate>
			<Grid>
				<Rectangle Fill="Yellow" />
				<TextBlock Text="{Binding YValue}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
			</Grid>
		</DataTemplate>
	</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
