WPF Chart Performance

SciChart’s legendary WPF Chart performance is enabled by our proprietary, in-house, C++ cross-platform 3D graphics engine, Visual Xccelerator. The engine is entirely hardware-accelerated, targeting DirectX on the Windows platform.

Unlimited Multiple X, Y Axis

Our WPF Charting Library and Avalonia XPF features unlimited, multiple X and Y axis.

Place the X-axis at the Top or Bottom and Y axis on the Left or Right. Several axes on one side are also possible. You can place X and Y axis in the center.

Zooming & Panning

Our WPF Charts provide you with an API to zoom, pan, and scroll charts. You can allow your users to pan or zoom chart in X or Y directions or both; set or animate Axis VisibleRange programmatically or via MVVM to programmatically pan or scale.

Our powerful custom ChartModifier API provides the ability to develop custom mouse interactivity extensions within our WPF charting software.

With the multi-chart syncing feature, Avalonia XPF and WPF charts support synced zooming and panning interactions across multiple charts, creating a more seamless, consistent data visualization experience. Interactive controls also make it easy to navigate 3D charts with zoom, pan, and rotate functions via mouse or touch.

Annotations & Markers

Our WPF Charting Library features a powerful Annotations API that allows you to place UI elements over the chart at specific data-point locations.

There are plenty of annotations ready out of the box, e.g., line, arrow, box, text, and more. Custom annotations are possible if you want to display custom markers or points of interest.

SciChart’s WPF chart library supports interaction with annotations, where you can allow users to click on annotation, drag, and resize.

Styling & Theming

Our WPF Charting Software ships with 8 stunning themes in a Theme Manager, which you can apply to your charts with a single line of code. Themes affect default cursor, zoom, axis, grid, and series colors. You may customize your WPF charts even further and create your own custom theme.

You can also adjust the lighting for enhanced visuals, as well as customize geometries and colors for data points.

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.

Andy

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

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).

Stefan K.

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