SciChart WPF is a realtime, high-performance WPF Chart Library made for financial, medical and engineering apps in mind. Using DirectX and SciChart’s proprietary rendering engine, it provides ~50 2D & 3D WPF chart types, a flexible API, and 5‑star rated support. It is designed for projects that need extreme performance and slick interactive charts. With Avalonia XPF integration, developers can seamlessly create charts and user interfaces that work across platforms, bridging the gap and allowing WPF charts to run on Linux and Windows. SciChart WPF enables creation of a wide variety of chart types, offering 35 2D chart types and 15 3D chart types, plus the infinitely extendable CustomRenderableSeries. This includes band charts, box plots, bubble charts, candlestick charts, contour charts, digital charts, donut charts, fan charts, error bars, impulse charts, line charts, market profile charts, heatmaps, OHLC charts, pie charts, polar and radar charts, scatter charts, spline charts, stacked charts, ternary charts, and more. Its performance is powered by SciChart’s in‑house C++ cross‑platform 3D graphics engine, Visual Xccelerator, hardware‑accelerated using DirectX. With SciChart WPF, it is possible to display millions or even billions of data points in WPF line, scatter or candlestick charts and update them in real time. Thousands of series or hundreds of fast WPF charts can be displayed on a single UI without stalling the rest of the user interface. The library includes a WPF Chart Animation API, offering Fade, Sweep, Scale and Wave animations with full control over delays, durations and easing functions. SciChart WPF provides powerful interactive tools through its Chart Modifier API, including cursors, rollovers, vertical lines, legends and customizable tooltips. Users can select individual data points or 3D regions with tooltips. The library supports unlimited multiple X and Y axes, with flexible placement, mixed axes types and numeric, logarithmic and category scaling. Zooming, panning and scrolling are supported with an extensive API for user-driven and programmatic interactions. Multi‑chart syncing across Avalonia XPF and WPF enables synchronized zoom and pan behaviors. The Annotations API allows placement of UI elements over charts at data‑point positions, including line, arrow, box, text and custom annotations, all interactive, draggable and resizable. SciChart’s styling and theming system includes 8 built‑in themes via a Theme Manager, configurable by a single line of code. These affect cursors, zoom behavior, axis colors, grid and series appearance. Developers may extend themes, adjust lighting or customize geometries and colors for enhanced visuals.
