Declaring a RenderableSeries in XAML

To draw a Point Line series on the chart, we need to define RenderableSeries and DataSeries to hold the data.

First, let’s declare the RenderableSeries in XAML:

Declaring a RenderableSeries in XAML
Copy Code 
<Window x:Class="Tutorial_03_Adding_Series_to_a_3D_Chart.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:s3D="http://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart3D"
        Title="Tutorial 03 - Adding Series to a 3D Chart"
        Height="550"
        Width="800">

    <Grid>
        <s3D:SciChart3DSurface x:Name="sciChart3DSurface">
            <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.RenderableSeries>
                <!--  Define the RenderableSeries  -->
                <!--  where xmlns:s3D="http://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart3D" -->
                <s3D:PointLineRenderableSeries3D x:Name="pointLineSeries3D"
                                                 IsAntialiased="True"
                                                 StrokeThickness="2">
                    <s3D:PointLineRenderableSeries3D.PointMarker>
                        <s3D:SpherePointMarker3D Opacity="0.5" Size="16"/>
                    </s3D:PointLineRenderableSeries3D.PointMarker>
                </s3D:PointLineRenderableSeries3D>
            </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.RenderableSeries>
            <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.XAxis>
                <s3D:NumericAxis3D AxisTitle="X-Axis 3D"/>
            </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.XAxis>
            <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.YAxis>
                <s3D:NumericAxis3D AxisTitle="Y-Axis 3D"/>
            </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.YAxis>
            <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ZAxis>
                <s3D:NumericAxis3D AxisTitle="Z-Axis 3D"/>
            </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ZAxis>
            <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ChartModifier>
                <s3D:ModifierGroup3D>
                    <s3D:OrbitModifier3D/>
                    <s3D:ZoomExtentsModifier3D/>
                </s3D:ModifierGroup3D>
            </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ChartModifier>
        </s3D:SciChart3DSurface>
    </Grid>
</Window>

For these series to show, we need to add some data to the chart. We are going to do this in code-behind.

Creating Data for the 3D Chart
Copy Code 
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media;
using SciChart.Charting3D.Model;

namespace Tutorial_03_Adding_Series_to_a_3D_Chart
{
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Loaded += OnLoaded;
        }

        private void OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs)
        {
            var xyzDataSeries3D = new XyzDataSeries3D<double>();
   
            var color = Color.FromRgb(64, 131, 183); //#FF4083B7

            for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                var x = 5 * Math.Sin(i);
                var y = i;
                var z = 5 * Math.Cos(i);

                xyzDataSeries3D.Append(x, y, z, new PointMetadata3D(color));
            }

            pointLineSeries3D.DataSeries = xyzDataSeries3D;
        }
    }
}

Congratulations! You now have added some series to a 3D chart!
