// 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

// WPF Line and Scatter Chart

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.
