SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, and iOS Chart & Android Chart Components
WPF Using Radar 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 how to create a 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. This is a circular chart type consisting of sectors which are proportional to the quantity it represents.
Tips!
You can change the style of every category.
Every series can be configurable. You can change fill brush, stroke color, opacity…
Hole in center can be changed in real time.
Radar rotation can be changed in real time too.
