What are the unique features of SciChart for WPF?

SciChart WPF is a real-time, high-performance WPF chart library built for financial, medical, and engineering applications. It uses a unique GPU-accelerated rendering engine and a flexible API to support various 2D and 3D chart types. With extensive customization options and robust technical support, it's ideal for complex big data projects that demand extreme performance and smooth interactivity.

Does SciChart support data binding in WPF?

Yes, SciChart fully supports data binding in WPF and offers a comprehensive MVVM API. Developers can bind and manipulate DataSeries, RenderableSeries, Axes, and Annotations directly from ViewModels. This allows for dynamic data updates, chart behavior configuration, and styling — all within a clean MVVM structure and without using code-behind.

Is SciChart for WPF optimized for real-time data visualization?

Yes, SciChart is optimized for real-time data visualization using a 64-bit GPU-accelerated rendering engine. It supports rendering millions or even up to a billion data points at a stable 60 FPS. This makes SciChart one of the fastest and most reliable real-time WPF charting libraries available.

Build Real-Time JavaScript Charts with Confidence from Day One

Tired of outdated docs or half-baked GitHub examples? With SciChart, you can get a real-time JavaScript chart running in under two minutes using production-ready templates and tutorials — no WebAssembly setup required, no complex wrappers, just clean code.

More Power & More Performance

You’re building systems where performance isn’t a feature — it’s a requirement. Whether that’s real-time telemetry or high-frequency trading, most JavaScript libraries can’t handle this kind of pressure.

Cross-platform access, unlimited flexibility and proven big data performance all work together to solve some of the biggest setbacks in data visualizations.

Customizations that Open Up New Data Visualization Possibilities

Unlike most libraries, SciChart.js doesn’t force you to choose between speed, adaptability, or simplicity. It’s engineered for serious applications with WebAssembly-accelerated performance, advanced chart types, and deep customization.

SciChart.js gives you full control—extend series, create custom annotations, define interactions, or override rendering logic. The API is designed to let your charts look and behave exactly as your application requires.

Endless Charting Possibilities at Your Fingertips

SciChart.js v4 includes advanced chart types rarely found in JavaScript libraries. Beyond fast line, scatter, and column charts, it adds rectangle, triangle, box plot, and polygon series—on both Cartesian and polar surfaces. With 70+ 2D and 3D types, including radial, gauges, heatmaps, GeoJSON maps, and full 3D charting, SciChart enables visualizations few other libraries can achieve.

Steven I

Without doubt, the best charting library I have ever used. The examples suite is comprehensive to easily get you started coding on a new project. The sales & technical support staff are always responsible and eager to help. Chart customisation is extensive and rendering speed is quick.

Markus S

Back in 2014 we investigated into more than 10 different WPF charting libraries to replace our existing charts. SciChart already at that time was for us the best solution. Performance, API, feature set and even support are outstanding. Bugs getting fixed very fast without killing the quality assurance (as already seen by other well known WPF library vendors).

Andy

Performance is exactly what we needed and after testing other products, SciChart performed the best for all our use cases.

Stefan K.

Great performance and low CPU load, even on high data transfer (~200.000 samples/second). Also very good and intuitive documentation!

Ziran W

High performance, multiple useful features, easy to use, and good documentation with detailed tutorials and examples. We applied SciChart in a DAQ&Testing system to display signals in real-time. This software definitely met our requirements.
