Tower

The Tower series is used to represent a set of three-dimensional data as cubic bars. It has three mandatory series components, Position, Depth and Value. The data in the Position and Depth components must form a 2D rectangular grid on the xz plane. The heights of the cubic bars are determined by the data in the Value component. The series also has an optional series component called LabelMember whose data may be used as the mark labels for the bars. 

The cubic bars can be colored in the following ways. If the UseGradient property is set to true, the bars will be colored using a color gradient according to its height value in the Value component. The color gradient is formed using the start, middle, and end colors that are determined by the StartColor, MidColor, and EndColor properties, respectively. If the UsePalette property is set to true, the bars will be colored using a predefined color palette that is specified by the PaletteStyle property. If both the UseGradient and the UsePalette properties are set to false, the bars will be colored using the color specified by Brush property.

The UseOrigin property determines whether to use the Origin property to determine the base position of the cubic bars. If this property is set to false, the origin of the vertical axis is used as the base position of the bars.
