Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 9 SDK or later.
  2. Set up a .NET MAUI environment with Visual Studio 2022 v17.12 or later.

Step 1: Create a new .NET MAUI project

  1. Go to File > New > Project and choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  2. Name the project and choose a location. Click Next.
  3. Select the .NET framework version and click Create.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Charts Package

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages.
  2. Search for Syncfusion.Maui.Charts and install the latest version.
  3. Ensure the necessary dependencies are installed correctly, and the project is restored.

Step 3: Register the handler

Syncfusion.Maui.Core nuget is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Microsoft.Maui;
using Microsoft.Maui.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Xaml;
using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;

namespace ChartGettingStarted
{
 public static class MauiProgram
 {
 public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
 {
 var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
 builder
 .UseMauiApp<App>()
 .ConfigureSyncfusionCore()
 .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
 {
 fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
 });

 return builder.Build();
 }
 }
}

Step 4: Add .NET MAUI Pyramid Chart

  1. To initialize the control, import the Syncfusion.Maui.Charts namespace.
  2. Initialize SfPyramidChart.
<ContentPage 
 . . .
 xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Charts">

 <chart:SfPyramidChart/>
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;
. . .

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
 public MainPage()
 {
 this.InitializeComponent();
 SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
 this.Content = chart;
 }
}

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 9 SDK or later.
  2. Set up a .NET MAUI environment with Visual Studio Code.
  3. Ensure that the .NET MAUI workloads are installed and configured as described here.

Step 1: Create a new .NET MAUI project

  1. Open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and type .NET:New Project and enter.
  2. Choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  3. Select the project location, type the project name and press Enter.
  4. Then choose Create project.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Charts Package

  1. Press + (backtick) to open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Ensure you’re in the project root directory where your .csproj file is located.
  3. Run the command dotnet add package Syncfusion.Maui.Charts to install the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Charts NuGet package.
  4. To ensure all dependencies are installed, run dotnet restore.

Step 3: Register the handler

Syncfusion.Maui.Core nuget is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Microsoft.Maui;
using Microsoft.Maui.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Xaml;
using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;

namespace ChartGettingStarted
{
 public static class MauiProgram
 {
 public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
 {
 var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
 builder
 .UseMauiApp<App>()
 .ConfigureSyncfusionCore()
 .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
 {
 fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
 });

 return builder.Build();
 }
 }
}

Step 4: Add .NET MAUI Pyramid Chart

  1. To initialize the control, import the Syncfusion.Maui.Charts namespace.
  2. Initialize SfPyramidChart.
<ContentPage 
 . . .
 xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Charts">

 <chart:SfPyramidChart/>
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;
. . .

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
 public MainPage()
 {
 this.InitializeComponent();
 SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
 this.Content = chart;
 }
}

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 9 SDK or later.
  2. Set up a .NET MAUI environment with JetBrains Rider 2024.3 or later.
  3. Make sure the MAUI workloads are installed and configured as described here.

Step 1: Create a new .NET MAUI Project

  1. Go to File > New Solution, Select .NET (C#) and choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  2. Enter the Project Name, Solution Name, and Location.
  3. Select the .NET framework version and click Create.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® MAUI Charts NuGet Package

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages.
  2. Search for Syncfusion.Maui.Charts and install the latest version.
  3. Ensure the necessary dependencies are installed correctly, and the project is restored. If not, Open the Terminal in Rider and manually run: dotnet restore

Step 3: Register the handler

Syncfusion.Maui.Core nuget is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Microsoft.Maui;
using Microsoft.Maui.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Xaml;
using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;

namespace ChartGettingStarted
{
 public static class MauiProgram
 {
 public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
 {
 var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
 builder
 .UseMauiApp<App>()
 .ConfigureSyncfusionCore()
 .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
 {
 fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
 });

 return builder.Build();
 }
 }
}

Step 4: Add .NET MAUI Pyramid Chart

  1. To initialize the control, import the Syncfusion.Maui.Charts namespace.
  2. Initialize SfPyramidChart.
<ContentPage 
 . . .
 xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Charts">

 <chart:SfPyramidChart/>
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;
. . .

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
 public MainPage()
 {
 this.InitializeComponent();
 SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
 this.Content = chart;
 }
}

Step 5: Initialize view model

Now, let us define a simple data model that represents a data point in the chart.

public class StageModel
{
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public double Value { get; set; }
}

Next, create a StageViewModel class and initialize a list of StageModel objects as follows.

public class StageViewModel
{
 public List<StageModel> Data { get; set; }
 public StageViewModel()
 {
 Data = new List<StageModel>()
 {
 new StageModel(){Name = "Stage A", Value = 12},
 new StageModel(){Name = "Stage B", Value = 21},
 new StageModel(){Name = "Stage C", Value = 29},
 new StageModel(){Name = "Stage D", Value = 37},
 };
 }
}

Create a StageViewModel instance and set it as the chart’s BindingContext. This enables property binding from StageViewModel class.

NOTE

Add the namespace of StageViewModel class to your XAML Page, if you prefer to set BindingContext in XAML.

<ContentPage
 . . .
 xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Charts"
 xmlns:model="clr-namespace:ChartGettingStarted">
 <chart:SfPyramidChart>
 <chart:SfPyramidChart.BindingContext>
 <model:StageViewModel/>
 </chart:SfPyramidChart.BindingContext>
 </chart:SfPyramidChart>
</ContentPage>
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
StageViewModel viewModel = new StageViewModel();
chart.BindingContext = viewModel;
this.Content = chart;

Step 6: Populate chart with data

Binding Data to the pyramid chart ItemsSource property from its BindingContext to create our own pyramid chart.

<ContentPage
 xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
 x:Class="ChartGettingStarted.MainPage"
 xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Charts"
 xmlns:model="clr-namespace:ChartGettingStarted">
 <chart:SfPyramidChart ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" 
 ShowDataLabels="True" 
 EnableTooltip="True"
 XBindingPath="Name" 
 YBindingPath="Value">
 <chart:SfPyramidChart.Title>
 <Label Text="Pyramid Stages"/>
 </chart:SfPyramidChart.Title>
 <chart:SfPyramidChart.BindingContext>
 <model:StageViewModel/>
 </chart:SfPyramidChart.BindingContext>
 <chart:SfPyramidChart.Legend>
 <chart:ChartLegend/>
 </chart:SfPyramidChart.Legend>
 </chart:SfPyramidChart>
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{ 
 public MainWindow()
 {
 SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
 chart.Title = new Label()
 {
 Text = "Pyramid Stages"
 };
 chart.Legend = new ChartLegend();
 StageViewModel viewModel = new StageViewModel();
 chart.BindingContext = viewModel;
 chart.ItemsSource = viewModel.Data;
 chart.XBindingPath = "Name";
 chart.YBindingPath = "Value";
 chart.EnableTooltip = true;
 chart.ShowDataLabels = true;
 this.Content = chart;
 }
}
