This WPF chart generates a simple Band Series chart in code. The FastBandRenderableSeries requires an XyyDataSeries, which contains one X-point and two Y-points.

Dual lines are drawn by Stroke, StrokeY1 and shaded bands are drawn using FillY1 and Fill, depending on whether Y1 is greater than Y2.

Tip!

If you have data where Y1 is greater than Y2 always, you’ll get an envelope effect. Great for rendering confidence intervals, error margins or Bollinger Bands!
