// SciChart Documentation

Developers! To help you dig into the deeper functionality of SciChart, we have prepared online documentation for your favourite platforms. Please take a look at the resources below. If you have any feedback or suggestions on how to make the getting-started process better, please do contact us!

WPF Chart Documentation

iOS & macOS Chart Documentation

Android Chart Documentation

JavaScript Chart Documentation

Note: At this time we do not have documentation for Xamarin however, our Xamarin bindings are simply wrappers around native iOS, macOS and Android chart controls. We have prepared both Tutorials and Examples to help you get started with Xamarin.

// Documentation Popular Topics

The RenderableSeries API

The ChartModifier API documentation walks through the behavior modifiers in SciChart, which allow adding Zooming, Panning behavior, Tooltips, Legends and Selection. This powerful API may also be extended by overriding the ChartModifierBase type.

The Axis API

The Axis API Documentation walks through the axis types in SciChart, such as NumericAxis, DateTimeAxis, LogarithmicNumericAxis, CategoryDateTimeAxis and shows how to add them into your charting application. This section of documentation also shows how to configure the axis to style it, change text formatting, change tick label frequency and more.

The Annotations API

Class Hierachy and Members

For each of our platforms, we have used a tool similar to Doxygen to extract info from our assemblies and output to class hierachy documentation. This results in thousands of pages but includes every single class, member, function and property that is exposed in the SciChart public API. Use this if you need a high level of detail when working with SciChart.
