Is it possible to render a SciChartSurface instance to an SVG (scalable vector graphics) file? Preferably, I would like to accomplish this without displaying the surface in a window or dialog.
I have working code to render a surface directly to a bitmap.
RenderTargetBitmap bmp = new RenderTargetBitmap(GraphWidth, GraphHeight, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Pbgra32); bmp.Render(this.Surface); BitmapEncoder encoder = new PngBitmapEncoder(); encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bmp)); encoder.Save(myFileStream);
Can the same phenomenon be achieved, but with SVG?

Unfortunately, we cannot support export to SVG. At SciChart we have completely re-written the way you render in WPF, replacing slow vector-graphics for fast bitmap-graphics. Going back to SVG would require going back to Vectors, which would be extremely slow.
The best we can offer now is exporting to bitmap. We have a thread on this topic here:

Update
SciChart v5.x supports exporting to XPS (a vector format) as well as PNG, Bitmap, JPEG.
We have a feature request in our features request system to export the chart to SVG. You can vote for it here:

At the moment we are doing feasibility into this feature but due to the lack of any WPF – SVG export provided by Microsoft, it is not proving very easy…
Best regards,
