# Building a Neumorphic Column Chart to Visualize Gen Z's Favorite Social Media Platforms
2+
3+
We're excited to demonstrate how to build a visually stunning Neumorphic Column Chart using the [Syncfusion .NET MAUI Charts control](https://www.syncfusion.com/maui-controls/maui-cartesian-charts). This chart provides a modern, sleek way to visualize Gen Z's favorite social media platforms while integrating Neumorphic design principles.

## Column Chart
6+
7+
Column charts are ideal for representing and comparing categorical data. With vertical bars to display values, they are intuitive and widely used for data visualization.
8+
9+
## Add Neumorphic Effects to the Chart
10+
[Syncfusion’s .NET MAUI Cartesian Chart](https://www.syncfusion.com/maui-controls/maui-cartesian-charts) supports customizing the chart's appearance with creative designs. To achieve a Neumorphic look, follow these steps:
11+
12+
### Background Design
13+
Customize the chart’s background with a Neumorphic effect using a combination of shadows and gradients. Wrap the chart in a NeumorphicContentView for this design.
14+
15+
### Custom Column Segments
16+
Create a Neumorphic effect for column segments by applying shadows and gradients that adapt to light and dark themes.
17+
18+
## Apply Gradient Backgrounds to Chart
19+
The Neumorphic style is brought to life using gradient backgrounds for the column segments. Use the LinearGradientBrush to define a smooth gradient that responds dynamically to theme changes. Adjust StartPoint and EndPoint for the gradient’s direction and use GradientStop elements to define precise color transitions.
20+
21+
## Customizing the Chart for Light and Dark Themes
22+
Adapt the chart seamlessly to light and dark modes using AppThemeBinding. This ensures the Neumorphic design remains consistent and visually appealing across different themes.
23+
24+
## Visual Appeal
25+
This Neumorphic Column Chart stands out with:
26+
27+
* Dynamic Neumorphic design.
28+
* Gradient-filled column segments.
29+
* Light and dark theme adaptability.

## Troubleshooting
34+
#### Path too long exception
35+
If you encounter a Path Too Long Exception while building the project:
36+
37+
1. Close Visual Studio.
38+
2. Rename the repository to a shorter name.
39+
3. Rebuild the project.
40+
41+
## For a step-by-step procedure
