2 | | -Learn how to build a Neumorphic column chart using Syncfusion's .NET MAUI Charts to visualize Gen Z's favorite social media platforms based on U.S. adult usage data. This project features a modern design that adapts to both light and dark themes, creating a sleek and engaging user experience. |
| 1 | +# 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. |

| 5 | +## 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. |

| 33 | +## 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 |
