Using our WPF Charting library, you can generate a Line-Chart in code. The FastLineRenderableSeries can be used to render an XyDataSeries, XyyDataSeries (uses Y1 only) or OhlcDataSeries (renders close).

Tips!:

As well as Stroke, you can set StrokeThickness, AntiAliasing, IsVisible properties to change how the series is rendered.

You can add data-point markers to a line series using the PointMarker API. This is very performant and uses the same bitmap rendering as our Scatter-Charts.
