WPF 3D PointLine Chart 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.
The PointLine Chart demo shows how to create high-performance WPF 3D PointLine with three-dimensional markers chart using the SciChart 3D Component.
The 3D PointLine chart is defined by the XyzDataSeries3D and the PointLineRenderableSeries3D.
// Source Code
The C#/WPF source code for the WPF 3D PointLine Chart 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).
The SciChart Examples source code is available on Github and viewable in-app for some platforms
