Discover how to build sophisticated price volatility visualizations using variance indicators with Syncfusion's .NET MAUI Toolkit Charts.
Energy market analysis demands clear visualization of both absolute price levels and price volatility. This project demonstrates how to create custom variance indicators that show percentage changes between time periods with directional arrows and color-coding, enhancing standard column charts for more insightful analysis.
The implementation leverages custom renderers in .NET MAUI Toolkit to create specialized variance indicators that visually represent price movement direction and magnitude. This approach is valuable for energy traders, market analysts, and financial professionals tracking commodity volatility.
