WPF Realtime Heatmap Chart

This example demonstrates how to create a real-time WPF Heatmap Chart or Spectrogram using SciChart’s high-performance WPF charting library.

Even the most complex heatmap matrix is possible with SciChart’s leading WPF chart library.

Our software supports a 2D Array of data and has a user-defined color map which can be displayed as a legend over the chart. Click and drag on the chart to see the animated-zoom performance while the heatmap is updating.
