WPF Error Bar Chart - Feature-Rich Charts

Overview

The WPF Error Bar Chart displays tables of means or medians and variability. The error bars indicate errors or uncertainty in the reported values. This shows possible variations in measurements, and in the chart these values are displayed as data points. The chart supports zooming, scrolling, tooltip, and trackball.
