Xamarin Forms OxyPlot for Bar Charts

Question

I am working on an Xamarin.Forms application where I want to implement histograms as shown in the screenshot. There is no such control in Xamarin.Forms, so I use the OxyPlot nuget package for this, but the problem is that the stripes in the oxyplot are horizontal and there is no option for grid lines inside the chart graph. is there any open source library for histograms so i can use.

You can do this using OxyPlotwith ColumnSeries. Try MCVE :

XAML:

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:App2"
             xmlns:oxy="clr-namespace:OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms;assembly=OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms"
             x:Class="App2.MainPage">

    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <local:MyViewModel></local:MyViewModel>
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>

    <oxy:PlotView Model="{Binding Model}"/>

</ContentPage>

Show model:

using OxyPlot;
using OxyPlot.Series;
using OxyPlot.Axes;

public class MyViewModel
{
    public PlotModel Model { get; set; }

    public MyViewModel()
    {
        CategoryAxis xaxis = new CategoryAxis();
        xaxis.Position = AxisPosition.Bottom;
        xaxis.MajorGridlineStyle = LineStyle.Solid;
        xaxis.MinorGridlineStyle = LineStyle.Dot;
        xaxis.Labels.Add("Mon, 4/24");
        xaxis.Labels.Add("Tue, 4/25");
        xaxis.Labels.Add("Wed, 4/26");
        xaxis.Labels.Add("Thu, 4/27");

        LinearAxis yaxis = new LinearAxis();
        yaxis.Position = AxisPosition.Left;
        yaxis.MajorGridlineStyle = LineStyle.Dot;
        xaxis.MinorGridlineStyle = LineStyle.Dot;

        ColumnSeries s1 = new ColumnSeries();
        s1.IsStacked = true;
        s1.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(20));
        s1.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(60));
        s1.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(40));
        s1.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(50));

        ColumnSeries s2 = new ColumnSeries();
        s2.IsStacked = true;
        s2.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(50));
        s2.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(30));
        s2.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(10));
        s2.Items.Add(new ColumnItem(20));

        Model = new PlotModel();
        Model.Title = "Xamarin Oxyplot Sample";
        Model.Background = OxyColors.Gray;

        Model.Axes.Add(xaxis);
        Model.Axes.Add(yaxis);
        Model.Series.Add(s1);
        Model.Series.Add(s2);
    }
}
