# Creating a Stacked Area Chart

## Content

To create a stacked area chart you should set the [C1Chart.ChartType](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.ChartType.html) property instead of the [DataSeries.ChartType](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.DataSeries.ChartType.html) like the following XAML example:

```auto
<c1:C1Chart ChartType="AreaStacked" >
        <c1:C1Chart.Data>
          <c1:ChartData ItemNames="P1 P2 P3 P4 P5">
            <c1:DataSeries Label="Series 1" Values="20 22 19 24 25" />
            <c1:DataSeries Label="Series 2" Values="8 12 10 12 15" />
          </c1:ChartData>
        </c1:C1Chart.Data>
        <c1:C1ChartLegend DockPanel.Dock="Right" />
      </c1:C1Chart>
```
