SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, iOS Chart, Android Chart and JavaScript Chart Components
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.
Generates a Scatter chart in code. The XyScatterRenderableSeries can be used to render an XyDataSeries, XyyDataSeries (uses Y1 only) or OhlcDataSeries (renders close).
The scatter chart uses the PointMarker API to define the marker shape and size. This can be customized in code or you can create your own Point-Markers using our SpritePointMarker or BasePointMarker type.
Tip!
Perhaps you wanted a scatter point with a line? If so you can do this using the FastLineRenderableSeries and setting the PointMarker property.
