The PointLine 3D Chart Type

3D Point-Line Charts are provided by the PointLineRenderableSeries3D type.

The PointLineRenderableSeries3D supports multiple pointmarkers, including:

3D Marker Types

    SpherePointMarker3D - a 3D Sphere at each point
    CubePointMarker3D - 3D Cube at each point
    PyramidPointMarker3D - a 3D Pyramid at each point
    CylinderPointMarker3D - a 3D Cylinder at each point

Fast 2D Marker types

    PixelPointMarker3D - a single pixel at each point
    QuadPointMarker3D - a Quad (flat square) facing the camera at each point
    EllipsePointMarker3D - a flat ellipse facing the camera at each point
    TrianglePointMarker3D - a flat triangle facing the camera at each point
    CustomPointMarker3D - custom flat textured markers facing the camera at each point

Declaring a 3D Point Line Series

To declare a 3D Point Line Series with individual sizes & colors, use the following code.

Property IsLineStrips

The Point Line 3D Series also allows you to split the line at every other point. useful if you want to use it to draw a free-form grid. To enable this behaviour, set the IsLineStrips property. This property is used in the 3D Charts > Series Tooltips 3D Chart example.
