Creating a WPF Bar Chart to Visualize the Homelands of America's International Students

A bar chart is used to display a distribution of data points or compare metric values across different subgroups of your data.

Customization:

We can customize the color, border, and width of the bar chart using the Palette,Interior, Stroke, and StrokeThickness properties respectively.

Watermark:

We can add any view to the plot area using Watermark support, which is useful for adding any relevant data.

Annotation:

SfChart supports annotations, which allow you to mark specific areas of interest in the chart. You can add shapes, text, and images using annotations.
