WPF Chart Add or Remove DataSeries
// 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.
Demonstrates how to programmatically add and remove series in code. This is achieved by changing the SciChartSurface.RenderableSeries collection at runtime.
Click ‘Add Series’ several times. Now click to select a series. With a series selected, click ‘Delete Series’.
The same thing can be achieved in MVVM, using our new MVVM SeriesBinding Markup Extension.
// Source Code
