    public partial class StyleSample : Indicator
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            var style = new Style();

            style.Set(ControlProperty.Margin, 5);
            style.Set(ControlProperty.ForegroundColor, Color.Blue);
            style.Set(ControlProperty.FontSize, 14);
            style.Set(ControlProperty.Width, 100);

            var stackPanel = new StackPanel
            {
                HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center,
                VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
                BackgroundColor = Color.Gold,
                Orientation = Orientation.Vertical
            };

            for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                stackPanel.AddChild(new TextBlock
                {
                    Text = "Text Block #" + i,
                    Style = style
                });
            }

            Chart.AddControl(stackPanel);

        stackPanel.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center
        stackPanel.BackgroundColor = Color.Gold
        stackPanel.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical

        for i in range(10):
            textBlock = TextBlock()
            textBlock.Text = f"Text Block #{i}"
