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 how to add or remove DataSeries from a SciChart3DSurface in code.
This is achieved by changing the SciChart3DSurface.RenderableSeries collection at runtime.
Click ‘ADD’ several times to add series. Now click ‘DEL’ to remove the last series.
The C#/WPF source code for the WPF 3D Chart Add Remove Data Series 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).
