// 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.

// WPF 3D Chart Data-Point Selection Example

SciChart3D now natively supports selection of data-points via the VertexSelectionModifier3D.

This is a ChartModifier3D derived type which can be added to the SciChart3DSurface via the SciChart3DSurface.ChartModifier property, or via a ModifierGroup3D

Tip! You can click on a data-point to select it, or, you can multi-select by holding down CTRL. Click elsewhere on the chart to deselect.
