WPF simple plotting of x,y coordinates

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

In my WPF/C# application, I have to plot x/y coordinates which make up quadilaterals and triangles. Basically I just need to visualize the quadilaterals and triangles formed by the xy points, as in a 2D mesh.

I have tried several chart controls, but it seems they all add extra "lines", seeming to connnect points that should not be connected.

I'm thinking I'll have to implement this using canvas, and line segments, but before I waste my time, I wanted to ask if anyone has any helpful pointers, guidelines, samples, etc.

Regards
Michael

I don't know why you call your prospective use of you time the "waste"... :-)

I don't see why not doing what you are doing.

At the same time, you can try out works done by others. For example, you can check some CodeProject works, such as these two:
WPF Chart Control With Pan, Zoom and More[^],
OpenWPFChart: assembling charts from components: Part I - Parts[^].

You can probably find more: http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=WPF+charts&doctypeid=1[^].
