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.
Demonstrates a vertical chart with XAxis on the Left, Right, and YAxes at the Top. SciChart WPF chart library supports unlimited X and Y axis and allows placement of any axis on the Left, Right, Top, Bottom of the chart.
The Vertical Chart is created by setting XAxis.AxisAlignment = Left, and YAxis.AxisAlignment = Top.
Interactivity Options
– Drag any axis to scale.
– Drag the chart to zoom.
– Double click to reset zoom.
