SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, iOS Chart, Android Chart and JavaScript Chart Components
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 3D Scatter chart is defined by the XyzDataSeries3D and the ScatterRenderableSeries3D.
Scatter points can be colored individually, programmatically selected and scaled using the PointMetadata3D class. PointMetadata also allows you to tag individual scatter points with a business object of any type.
The C#/WPF source code for the WPF 3D Scatter 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?
