Line and Spline charts

Line Chart

Now, let's learn how to create a Line chart. We will create a chart showcasing "Total Footfall in Bakersfield Central".

The data is shown in the table below:

Day	Footfall
Monday	15123
Tuesday	14233
Wednesday	23507
Thursday	9110
Friday	15529
Saturday	20803
Sunday	19202

The chart will look as shown below:

Render the Chart

Create the LineChart.aspx.cs file and do the following:

Include the FusionCharts.DataEngine and FusionCharts.Visualization .dll files.
Create DataTable.
Add two columns and multiple rows to the DataTable.
Create a StaticSource using the DataTable.
Create an instance of DataModel class.
Add StaticSource as data source to the DataModel.
Instantiate Line chart.
Set chart width and height.
Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart.
Optionally, set chart title, subtitle, X-axis text, and Y-axis text.
Optionally, set the chart theme as fusion.
Return the chart rendering configuration into the server side literal, or set the chart configuration as Literal.text.

Spline Chart

Now, let's learn how to create a spline chart with the same data. The code remains the same as that of the Line chart. The only difference is instead of instantiating a line chart you have to instantiate a spline chart.

Render the Chart

Create a splineChart.aspx.cs and do the following:

Include the FusionCharts.DataEngine and FusionCharts.Visualization .dll files.
Create DataTable.
Add two columns and multiple rows to the DataTable.
Create a StaticSource using the DataTable.
Create an instance of DataModel class.
Add StaticSource as data source to the DataModel.
Instantiate Line chart.
Set chart width and height.
Set the Scrollable property of the chart to true.
Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart.
Optionally, set chart title, subtitle, X-axis text, and Y-axis text.
Optionally, set the chart theme as fusion.
Return the chart rendering configuration into the server side literal, or set the chart configuration as Literal.text.
