The WPF Line Chart represents and visualizes time-dependent data to show trends at equal intervals. It supports numeric, category, date-time, and logarithmic axes and works well with large amounts of data with animation, zooming, and panning.
The WPF Line Chart can be transposed vertically to view the data from a different perspective.
Empty or null data points are elegantly handled in a line chart in WPF.
Use multiple axes to plot different data sets along two or more axes having different data points and values.
The WPF Line Chart data points are visualized as markers with built-in symbols such as crosses, squares, pluses, inverted triangles, hexagon, ellipses, vertical lines, horizontal lines, diamonds, triangles, and pentagons.
Easily get started with WPF Line Chart using a few simple lines of XAML and C# code, as demonstrated below,

{
public string Month { get; set; }
public double Target { get; set; }
public Model(string xValue, double yValue)
{

}
}
public class ViewModel
{
public ObservableCollection<Model> Data { get; set; }
public ViewModel()
{
Data = new ObservableCollection<Model>()
{
new Model("Jan", 50),
new Model("Feb", 70),
new Model("Mar", 65),
new Model("Apr", 57),
new Model("May", 48),
};
}
}
