# Getting Started with .NET MAUI Chart(SfPyramidChart)
## Creating an application using the .NET MAUI chart(SfPyramidChart)
1. Create a new .NET MAUI application in Visual Studio.
2. Syncfusion .NET MAUI components are available in [nuget.org](https://www.nuget.org/). To add SfPyramidChart to your project, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio, search for Syncfusion.Maui.Charts and then install it.
3. To initialize the control, import the Chart namespace.
4. Initialize [SfPyramidChart]().
**[XAML]**
```
```
**[C#]**
```
using Syncfusion.Maui.Charts;
. . .
public partial class MainWindow : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
this.Content = chart;
}
}
```
## 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.
**[C#]**
```
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()
.ConfigureSyncfusionCore()
.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
{
fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
});
return builder.Build();
}
}
}
```
## Initialize view model
Now, let us define a simple data model that represents a data point in the chart.
**[C#]**
```
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.
**[C#]**
```
public class StageViewModel
{
public List Data { get; set; }
public StageViewModel()
{
Data = new List()
{
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.
**[XAML]**
```
```
**[C#]**
```
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
StageViewModel viewModel = new StageViewModel();
chart.BindingContext = viewModel;
this.Content = chart;
```
## Populate chart with data
Binding `Data` to the pyramid chart [ItemsSource]() property from its BindingContext to create our own pyramid chart.
**[XAML]**
```
. . .
```
**[C#]**
```
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
StageViewModel viewModel = new StageViewModel();
chart.BindingContext = viewModel;
chart.ItemsSource = viewModel.Data;
chart.XBindingPath = "Name";
chart.YBindingPath = "Value";
this.Content = chart;
```
## Add a title
The title of the chart acts as the title to provide quick information to the user about the data being plotted in the chart. You can set the title using the [Title](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.Charts.ChartBase.html#Syncfusion_Maui_Charts_ChartBase_Title) property of the pyramid chart as follows.
**[XAML]**
```
. . .
```
**[C#]**
```
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
chart.Title = new Label
{
Text = "Pyramid Stages"
};
```
## Enable the data labels
The [ShowDataLabels]() property of the chart can be used to enable data labels to improve the readability of the pyramid chart. The label visibility is set to `False` by default.
**[XAML]**
```
. . .
```
**[C#]**
```
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
. . .
chart.ShowDataLabels = true;
```
## Enable a legend
The legend provides information about the data point displayed in the pyramid chart. The [Legend](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.Charts.ChartBase.html#Syncfusion_Maui_Charts_ChartBase_Legend) property of the chart was used to enable it.
**[XAML]**
```
. . .
```
**[C#]**
```
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
. . .
chart.Legend = new ChartLegend();
```
## Enable Tooltip
Tooltips are used to show information about the segment, when mouse over on it. Enable tooltip by setting the chart [EnableTooltip]() property as true.
**[XAML]**
```
. . .
```
**[C#]**
```
SfPyramidChart chart = new SfPyramidChart();
. . .
chart.EnableTooltip = true;
```
The following code example gives you the complete code of above configurations.
**[XAML]**
```
```
**[C#]**
```
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;
}
}
```
