- Output
- Easy to add support for other output devices (just implement simple methods like DrawPolyline, DrawPolygon, DrawEllipse and DrawText)
- Easy to extend with custom Series or Axis types
- High performance (supports large datasets, only draws data that is visible)
- 'Scientific' style (as plots from Mathematica/Matlab)
- Mathematical notation of exponents (superscript and subscript, but this currently only works for horizontal text)
- Spline interpolation
- Pan/zoom (use middle and right mouse button or the mouse wheel, double-click to reset)
- "Tracker" function - showing values when you push down the left mouse button on a curve
- A simple report generator is included (output to pdf, rtf, html5, docx and LaTeX)
Mouse/keyboard input(LMB = Left mouse button, RMB = Right mouse button)
| Action | WPF | Silverlight | Windows Forms | Windows Store App |
|---|
| Pan* | RMB | Alt+LMB | RMB | RMB |
| Zoom* | Mouse wheel | Mouse wheel | Mouse wheel | Mouse wheel |
| Zoom by rectangle | Ctrl+RMB | Ctrl+Alt+LMB | Ctrl+RMB | Ctrl+RMB |
| Reset* | RMB double-click | Alt+LMB double-click | RMB double-click | RMB double-click |
| Show 'tracker' | LMB | LMB | LMB | LMB |
| Reset axes | 'A' | 'A' | 'A' | 'A' |
| Copy bitmap | Ctrl+C | | Ctrl+C | |
| Copy code | Ctrl+Alt+C | Ctrl+Alt+C | Ctrl+Alt+C | Ctrl+Alt+C |
| Copy properties | Ctrl+Alt+R | Ctrl+Alt+R | Ctrl+Alt+R | |
* You can zoom/pan/reset a single axis by positioning the mouse cursor over the axis before starting the zoom/pan.
How to use it in WPF
- Add references to OxyPlot.dll and OxyPlot.wpf.dll in your application (also available from NuGet)
- Create a PlotModel in your ViewModel
- Create a Plot control in XAML and bind the Model property to your PlotModel
How to use it in Silverlight
- Add references to OxyPlot.dll and OxyPlot.Silverlight.dll in your application (also available from NuGet)
- Create a PlotModel in your ViewModel
- Create a Plot control in XAML and bind the Model property to your PlotModel
ExamplesExample Browser (Silverlight)
WPF example 1 (binding to a PlotModel)
WPF example 2 (binding to data)
Export to SVGRequirements
- .NET 4.0 / 4.5
