SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, and iOS Chart & Android Chart Components
WPF Radar Chart Customization
// 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 create a customization Radar Chart. A radar chart is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point. The relative position and angle of the axes is typically uninformative.
Tips!
You can configurate AxisLength and Angle properties in RadarYAxis. But before you should set to false AutoAxisLength or AutoAxisAngleCalculation properties in SciChartRadarSurface.
For customizate axis label you should use label provider on axis

// Source Code
The C#/WPF source code for the WPF Radar Chart Customization example is included below (Scroll down!).
Did you know you can also view the source code from one of the following sources as well?
- Clone the SciChart.WPF.Examples from Github.
- Or, view source in the SciChart WPF Examples suite.
- Also the SciChart WPF Trial contains the full source for the examples (link below).
The SciChart Examples source code is available on Github and viewable in-app for some platforms
