I'm using OxyPlot to render a bar chart with SkiaSharp. Currently, the bars are getting rendered horizontally, but i'd like them to be rendered vertically. I tried to swap the AxisPosition but this led to the following exception:

OxyPlot exception: BarSeries requires a CategoryAxis on the Y Axis.
An exception of type System.Exception was thrown when updating the plot model.
at OxyPlot.Series.BarSeriesBase`1.GetCategoryAxis()
at 
OxyPlot.Series.BarSeriesBase`1.OxyPlot.Series.IBarSeries.get_CategoryAxis()
at OxyPlot.PlotModel.<>c.<UpdateBarSeriesManagers>b__238_1(IBarSeries s)

IEqualityCom
at System.Linq.GroupedEnumerable`2.GetEnumerator()
at OxyPlot.PlotModel.UpdateBarSeriesManagers()
at OxyPlot.PlotModel.OxyPlot.IPlotModel.Update(Boolean updateData)

I'm currently using this example code snippet from the official repo:

var model = new PlotModel();

var categoryAxis = new CategoryAxis { Position = AxisPosition.Left };
var valueAxis1 = new LinearAxis
{
    Title = "Value Axis 1",
    Position = AxisPosition.Bottom,
    MinimumPadding = 0.06,
    MaximumPadding = 0.06,
    ExtraGridlines = new[] {0d},
    Key = "x1"
};
model.Axes.Add(categoryAxis);
model.Axes.Add(valueAxis1);

var series = new List<BarSeries>
{
    new BarSeries(),
    new BarSeries(),
};

var rnd = new Random(1);
foreach (var s in series)
{
    for (var i = 0; i < 4; i++)
        s.Items.Add(new BarItem() { Value = rnd.Next(0, 100) });
    model.Series.Add(s);
}

This is the rendered bar chart:

It looks like this was vertical bars were possible in the past using ColumnSeries, but this type of series has been removed. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

    Looks like you have to switch the X and Y axes. I'm working off a comment in this issue: https://github.com/oxyplot/oxyplot/issues/1870 – Jim Foye Oct 19 '22 at 20:31
