Spline area Chart in Flutter Cartesian Charts (SfCartesianChart)
23 Jul 202512 minutes to read
To render a spline area chart, create an instance of SplineAreaSeries, and add it to the series collection property of SfCartesianChart. The following properties can be used to customize the appearance of the spline area chart:
-
color- changes the color of the series. -
opacity- controls the transparency of the chart series. -
width- changes the stroke width of the series.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final List<ChartData> chartData = <ChartData>[
ChartData(2010, 10.53, 3.3),
ChartData(2011, 9.5, 5.4),
ChartData(2012, 10, 2.65),
ChartData(2013, 9.4, 2.62),
ChartData(2014, 5.8, 1.99),
ChartData(2015, 4.9, 1.44),
ChartData(2016, 4.5, 2),
ChartData(2017, 3.6, 1.56),
ChartData(2018, 3.43, 2.1),
];
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: SfCartesianChart(
series: <CartesianSeries>[
SplineAreaSeries<ChartData, int>(
dataSource: chartData,
xValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.x,
yValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.y
),
SplineAreaSeries<ChartData, int>(
dataSource: chartData,
xValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.x,
yValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.y1
),
]
)
)
);
}
class ChartData {
ChartData(this.x, this.y, this.y1);
final int x;
final double y;
final double y1;
}
Spline area rendering types
The splineType allows you to change the spline area curve in series. The following types can be used in SplineAreaSeries:
- natural
- monotonic
- cardinal
- clamped
By default, the value of splineType is SplineType.natural.
The following code sample demonstrates how to set the splineType value to SplineType.cardinal. When you set the cardinal type, you can specify the desired line tension of the cardinal spline using the cardinalSplineTension property. The value of this property ranges from 0 to 1.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final List<ChartData> chartData = <ChartData>[
ChartData(2010, 10.53),
ChartData(2011, 9.5),
ChartData(2012, 10),
ChartData(2013, 9.4),
ChartData(2014, 5.8),
ChartData(2015, 4.9),
ChartData(2016, 4.5),
ChartData(2017, 3.6),
ChartData(2018, 3.43),
];
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: Container(
child: SfCartesianChart(
series: <CartesianSeries>[
SplineAreaSeries<ChartData, int>(
dataSource: chartData,
splineType: SplineType.cardinal,
cardinalSplineTension: 0.9,
xValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.x,
yValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.y
)
]
)
)
)
);
}
Dashed spline area
The dashArray property of the SplineAreaSeries is used to render spline area series with dashes. The odd value is considered as the rendering size and the even value is considered as gap.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final List<ChartData> chartData = <ChartData>[
ChartData(2010, 10.53),
ChartData(2011, 9.5),
ChartData(2012, 10),
ChartData(2013, 9.4),
ChartData(2014, 5.8),
ChartData(2015, 4.9),
ChartData(2016, 4.5),
ChartData(2017, 3.6),
ChartData(2018, 3.43),
];
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: Container(
child: SfCartesianChart(
series: <CartesianSeries>[
SplineAreaSeries<ChartData, int>(
dataSource: chartData,
dashArray: <double>[5, 5],
xValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.x,
yValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.y
)
]
)
)
)
);
