The available options are: Bar: Displays data with rectangular bars proportional to their values, either vertically or horizontally. Useful for comparing categories, showing trends, or visualizing discrete data points. Line: Connects data points with straight lines, ideal for showing trends over time. Frequently used to display continuous data, highlighting the rise and fall of values across periods. FullStackedBar: Shows bars stacked to represent the cumulative total of data points. Useful for displaying relative contributions of categories to the whole, illustrating how each part adds to the total over time. StackedBar: Displays bars stacked to show segments of the total value. Useful for comparing parts of a whole within categories, highlighting the proportion of each segment relative to the category's total.
Data Source	Indicates the data source for the chart, such as "Dataset.Table.Sales." This configuration item requires a structured data source for appropriate data visualization.
Show horizontal labels 45° (WPF only)	When checked, displays horizontal labels at a 45-degree angle. This configuration is only available for WPF displays

Show Horizontal Labels 45°

zero series	When checked, hides series with all zero values.
Show value labels 90°

Select to show the labels on each bar at 90°

(WPF only)	When checked, displays value labels at a 90-degree angle. This configuration is only available for WPF displays.

Data Items

For each column in the data source that you want to include, select a bar and configure the settings to the right of the list (described below). The chart displays a bar for each row.

FieldTitle

Title to be shown in the display of the current column.

FieldValue

Name of the column in the database.

FieldColor

Min.

Enter a tag to define the minimum value.

Max.

Enter a tag to define the maximum value.

Brush

Click to select the color for the data item.

Runtime Execution 

In Runtime, the control has embedded controls to allow the Operator to modify the view.

Typically the configuration settings of <> is attached to a Tag exposed in the  Display User Interface, allowing the operator to select <. >.

Runtime Execution 

During runtime, the BarChart Control generates a series of bar graphs based on the provided dataset. When the runtime environment is initiated, the BarChart Control processes the dataset and displays the corresponding bar graphs. Users can interact with the bar graphs, which dynamically update as the underlying data changes. This allows for real-time visualization and analysis of data within the application, enabling users to monitor and interpret data trends effectively.
