SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, iOS Chart, Android Chart and JavaScript Chart Components
WPF 3D Chart Logarithmic Axis Example
// 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.
This example demonstrates X,Y or Z Logarithmic Axis axis in SciChart 3D. Click the controls to change state.
Example Usage
– Drag to zoom
– Double click to zoom to extents
– Change the Logarithmic Base from Log10, to LogE to Log2
Tips!
The axis labels may be formatted using Scientific notation with Superscript. See the LogarithmicNumericAxis3D.ScientificNotation property in the help file.

// Source Code
The C#/WPF source code for the WPF 3D Chart Logarithmic Axis Example 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).
