SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, iOS Chart, Android Chart and JavaScript Chart Components
WPF Line and Scatter 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.
Demonstrates mixing a FastLineRenderableSeries and XyScatterRenderableSeries on the same chart and providing values via MVVM data-binding.
The scatter chart uses the PointMarker API to define the marker shape and size. This can be customized in code or you can create your own Point-Markers using our SpritePointMarker or BasePointMarker type.
Tip!
Perhaps you wanted a scatter point with a line? If so you can do this using the FastLineRenderableSeries and setting the PointMarker property.
