The WPF scatter chart plots data with two numeric parameters. Plot multiple scatter series in a single chart to compare different data sets. The scatter chart uses Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables, typically, for a set of data.
Zoom and pan to visualize data points in any region when dealing with large amounts of data.
The look and feel of a scatter chart can be customized using the built-in APIs.
Easily get started with the WPF Scatter Chart using a few simple lines of C# code example as demonstrated below,
<Window x:Class="ChartExample.MainWindow"

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