WPF Pie 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 WPF Pie Chart. This is a circular chart type consisting of sectors which are proportional to the quantity it represents.
You can change the fill color of every segment and style its label. Also, the labels can be placed outside or inside a segment.
Every segment can be highlighted by clicking on it or when selected in the Legend.
Hover a segment with the cursor to see a tooltip with additional info about it.
