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.
Using garish colors to demonstrate Xaml styling of a SciChart3DSurface, Axis, grid lines, tick lines and background.
Almost any element in SciChart3D is stylable in Xaml and most parts of the chart are templated. You can easily set background, grid-line, axis label, viewport background and chart series colors in Xaml.
Take a look at the source-code of this example for further details.
The C#/WPF source code for the WPF 3D Chart Styling in XAML 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).
