WPF Column Chart

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.

Download the SDK

With our WPF chart library, you can generate a simple Column Series chart in code-behind. The FastColumnRenderableSeries can be used to render an XyDataSeries, XyyDataSeries (uses Y1 only) or OhlcDataSeries (renders close only).

Columns are rendered using the Stroke (outline) and Fill (fill).

Tip!

Do you need to change the width of the column? Try setting DataPointWidth from 0.0 to 1.0. This alters how much space the column takes up. Also the UseUniformWidth property may be used to define whether column widths are uniform or not

Custom Color Maps

SciChart.WPF PaletteProvider API makes it easy to give your charts a unique look. Add custom fill colors, including gradient options, and assign unique colors to individual data points. With the ability to create custom themes, if you can imagine it, you can create it with SciChart.

Dealing with high amounts of data

SciChart.WPF doesn’t just give you total flexibility to modify the look and feel of your charts – it allows you to build more ambitious and expansive charts than you ever thought possible. Supporting millions of individual data points, SciChart allows you to create high-performance 3D point clouds or vast, detailed 2D graphs.

Use cases and industries

Column charts are extremely versatile and widely used; sometimes, there’s just no better way of presenting and comparing two distinct metrics. They’re great for analyzing data over a period of time, too.

SciChart is used by businesses in a whole host of different sectors, including pharmaceutical, oil and gas, medical, instrumentation, defence, aerospace, motorsport, process automation, mining, investment banking, trading and more.
