The Box Plots Type

Box Plots or Statistical Plots are provided by the FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries type. This accepts data from a BoxPlotDataSeries and renders the body, median, upper and lower as follows:

Examples for the Box Plot Chart can be found in the SciChart WPF Examples Suite which can be downloaded from the SciChart Website or our SciChart.WPF.Examples Github Repository.

NOTE: For info about BoxPlotDataSeries, as well as other DataSeries types in SciChart, see DataSeries API

To declare a FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries, use the following code:

Declare a FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries in Xaml / Code Behind

Declare a FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries
Copy Code 
<!-- where xmlns:s="http://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart" -->
<s:SciChartSurface>

       <s:SciChartSurface.RenderableSeries>
             <s:FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries x:Name="rSeries" Stroke="SteelBlue">
                    <s:FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries.BodyBrush>
                           <LinearGradientBrush  StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0.5,1">
                                  <GradientStop Offset="0" Color="White"/>
                                  <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="LightSteelBlue"/>
                           </LinearGradientBrush>
                    </s:FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries.BodyBrush>
             </s:FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries>
       </s:SciChartSurface.RenderableSeries>

    <!--  XAxis, YAxis omitted for brevity  -->
   
</s:SciChartSurface>

// Code Behind, e.g. in OnLoaded event handler, set the DataSeries
var boxPlotDataSeries = new BoxPlotDataSeries<double, double>();


// Assuming X,Y values have been declared as lists of doubles
boxPlotDataSeries.Append(xValues, medianValues, minimumValues, lowerQuartileValues, upperQuartileValues, maximumValues);

rSeries.DataSeries = boxPlotDataSeries;
eries;

Declare a FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries in Pure Code

Declare a FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries
Copy Code 
// Declare the scichartsurface
var sciChartSurface = new SciChartSurface();
// ...
// Declare and add a Error Bars Series
var rSeries = new FastBoxPlotRenderableSeries()
{
    Stroke = Colors.SteelBlue,
    BodyBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightSteelBlue),
    AntiAliasing = true,
    DataPointWidth = 0.8,
    StrokeThickness = 1,
};
// Set some data
var boxPlotDataSeries = new BoxPlotDataSeries<double, double>();
// Assuming X,Y values have been declared as lists of doubles
boxPlotDataSeries.Append(xValues, medianValues, minimumValues, lowerQuartileValues, upperQuartileValues, maximumValues);

rSeries.DataSeries = boxPlotDataSeries;

 

NOTE: You can also declare RenderableSeries using full MVVM (series ViewModels). Please see MVVM DataSeries / RenderableSeries API for more details.
