WPF 3D Simple Cylindroid Chart Example
// WPF Chart Examples
SciChart WPF ships with hundreds of WPF Chart Examples which you can browse, play with, view the source-code and even export each WPF Chart Example to a stand-alone Visual Studio solution. All of this is possible with the new and improved SciChart WPF Examples Suite, which ships as part of the SciChart WPF SDK.
The Cylindroid 3D chart demo shows how to use CylindroidDataSeries3D and the FreeSurfaceRenderableSeries3D to render 3D cylindroid.FreeSurfaceRenderableSeries3D allows you to create all kinds of shapes, including Sphere, Cylinder, Disc and free-form mesh shapes, and overlay heightmap, colormap (palette) and contours. Take a look at other examples of shapes in this section: simple polar mesh, simple ellipsoid chart, closed mesh chart, and a realtime ellipsoid mesh chart example.Palette Mode drop-down menu demonstrates different modes of the data representation: Radial, Axial, Polar and Azimuthal.
// Source Code
The C#/WPF source code for the WPF 3D Simple Cylindroid Chart Example example is included below (Scroll down!).
Did you know you can also view the source code from one of the following sources as well?
- Clone the SciChart.WPF.Examples from Github.
- Or, view source and export each example to a Visual Studio project from the SciChart WPF Examples suite.
- Also the SciChart WPF Trial contains the full source for the examples (link below).
The SciChart Examples source code is available on Github and viewable in-app for some platforms
