Creating a Spline Area Series to Track Annual Gold Price Fluctuations Across Major Global Currencies
The Syncfusion Toolkit for .NET MAUI is a robust, high-performance suite of UI controls tailored to accelerate cross-platform app development for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. This toolkit empowers developers to create visually stunning, feature-packed applications with minimal effort, significantly reducing development time. By leveraging Syncfusion’ s comprehensive set of controls, developers can ensure a smooth, consistent, and engaging user experience across all supported platforms, simplifying the complexity of building cross-platform solutions.
In today’s post, we’ll walk you through creating a visually compelling Spline Area Chart to track annual gold price fluctuations across major global currencies, using the powerful Syncfusion Maui Chart Toolkit.We’ll cover how to enhance your chart’s interactivity and visual appeal by incorporating custom tooltips, threshold lines, and dynamic series updates based on user input.
By customizing tooltips, we can deliver precise and relevant information in a clear and engaging way. Syncfusion’s TooltipTemplate property enables you to design personalized tooltips that display vital details in a format that suits your application’s needs.
Threshold lines are useful for marking significant data points on a chart. By adding horizontal threshold lines with annotations, we can instantly highlight key information. In this implementation, we’ve added annotations that display the highest and lowest annual growth in gold prices. These lines help users quickly identify important trends and patterns within the data. Additionally, the annotations are fully customizable, allowing you to adjust their appearance to create a more polished user interface.
To make the chart more interactive, we’ve used the Picker to allow users to select different currencies. Based on the selected currency, the chart’s spline area series is dynamically updated to reflect the gold price fluctuations for that currency. This approach gives users flexibility, enabling them to explore the data for various currencies without needing to refresh the page or reload the chart.
If you encounter a path too long exception when building this example project, close Visual Studio and rename the repository to a shorter name before building the project.
