WinUI Column Chart is used to plot discrete rectangles for the given data point values. To render a column chart, create an instance of ColumnSeries, and add it to the Series collection property of SfCartesianChart.

    <chart:SfCartesianChart.XAxes>
        <chart:CategoryAxis />
    </chart:SfCartesianChart.XAxes>

    <chart:SfCartesianChart.YAxes>
        <chart:NumericalAxis />
    </chart:SfCartesianChart.YAxes>   

    <chart:SfCartesianChart.Series>
        <chart:ColumnSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" 
                            XBindingPath="XValue" 
                            YBindingPath="YValue"/>
    </chart:SfCartesianChart.Series>

</chart:SfCartesianChart>
SfCartesianChart chart = new SfCartesianChart();
CategoryAxis xAxis = new CategoryAxis();
chart.XAxes.Add(xAxis);
NumericalAxis yAxis = new NumericalAxis();
chart.YAxes.Add(yAxis);

ColumnSeries series = new ColumnSeries()
{
    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Data,
    XBindingPath = "XValue",
    YBindingPath = "YValue",
};

chart.Series.Add(series);
this.Content = chart;

Segment spacing

The SegmentSpacing property is used to change the spacing between two segments. The default value of spacing is 0, and the value ranges from 0 to 1. Here, 1 and 0 correspond to 100% and 0% of the available space, respectively.
