SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, and iOS Chart & Android Chart Components
WPF Digital Mountain 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.
Generates a Digital Mountain (Area) Chart in code using the FastMountainRenderableSeries with the IsDigitalLine property true.
Digital mountain charts can be used to render an XyDataSeries, XyyDataSeries (uses Y1 only) or OhlcDataSeries (renders close).
Tip!
By setting Stroke you alter the line color, Fill alters the fill. The Mountain-Series supports semi-transparent and LinearGradientBrush fills and looks great!
