Chart Types
Using built-in types is the simplest way to set up the chart's appearance. For example, to set up a wire-frame surface chart, specify the corresponding string in the ChartType property:
<C1_WPF_C1Chart3D:C1Chart3D ChartType="SurfaceWireframe"/>The available chart types are specified by the members of enumeration Chart3DType.
The list of available built-in chart types is presented in the table below.
Name | Description |
|---|---|
SurfaceWireframe | Wire-frame surface chart |
SurfaceWireframeContour | Wire-frame surface chart with contour levels |
Surface | Surface chart |
SurfaceContour | Surface chart with contour levels |
SurfaceZone | Surface chart with zones |
SurfaceZoneContour | Surface chart with contour zones |
Surface charts examine the distribution of data and draw contour lines to demarcate each of the contour levels. You can set the number of contour levels in the chart using the ContourLevelsCount property.
Chart3D for WPF also supports mesh lines which can be added to the X-axis, Y-axis, or both axes. Use the SurfaceMeshAppearance property to determine where the mesh lines appear.
