Use our WPF library to generate a Mountain (Area) Chart in code. The FastMountainRenderableSeries can be used to render an XyDataSeries, XyyDataSeries (uses Y1 only) or OhlcDataSeries (renders close).

Tip!

By setting Stroke you alter the line color, Fill alters the fill. The Mountain-Series supports semi-transparent and LinearGradientBrush fills and looks great!
