Worked Example: Add a Series in MVVM

Adding a single series to a chart is as simple as binding to a collection of IRenderableSeriesViewModel and adding one LineRenderableSeriesViewModel. The LineRenderableSeriesViewModel itself contains properties to control the FastLineRenderableSeries (which is generated by SciChart) as well as the DataSeries. You can manipulate the data via DataSeries.Append, Update, Insert, Remove, or change the proeprties such as LineRenderableSeriesViewModel.StrokeThickness, AntiAliasing, StrokeDashArray to change how the line series draws.

      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)

      }

      SeriesViewModels.Add(new LineRenderableSeriesViewModel()

         StrokeThickness = 1,
         AntiAliasing = true,
