Scroll WPF Chart using Overview Control

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

Demonstrates a supplimentary control, the SciChartOverview. This control can be bound to a parent SciChartSurface and renders the first series on that surface in entirely. A reticule is overlaid on the SciChartOverview to show the portion of the parent data in the viewport.

Interact with the SciChartOverview by dragging the middle area to scroll, or the edges of the middle area to scale. Similarly as you pan the chart by dragging, the SciChartOverview updates to show the current section of the data in the viewport.

This doesn’t increase the memory burden by much as the SciChartOverview shares the same source data as the parent SciChartSurface.
