The following procedure demonstrates adding the XamCategoryChart to WPF applications.
The following is a screenshot of the XamCategoryChart
Following are the general requirements for adding the XamCategoryChart control.
Add the following NuGet package reference to your main project:
Infragistics.WPF.Charts
For more information on setting up the NuGet feed and adding NuGet packages, you can take a look at the following documentation: NuGet Feeds.
In XAML:
xmlns:ig="http://schemas.infragistics.com/xaml"In C#:
using Infragistics.Controls.Charts;In VB:
Imports Infragistics.Controls.ChartsFollowing is a conceptual overview of the process:
1. Adding the XamCategoryChart control to WPF applications
2. Verifying the results
The following procedure takes you through the steps necessary for adding the XamCategoryChart control to a page.
The following code demonstrates adding the XamCategoryChart control with the minimum code and property settings required for display. The below code sample uses the Sample Energy Data resource.
In XAML:
<Grid x:Name=”LayoutRoot”>
<ig:XamCategoryChart ItemsSource="{Binding DataCollection}" />
</Grid>In Visual Basic:
Dim categoryChart As New XamCategoryChart()
categoryChart.ItemsSource = data
Me.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(categoryChart)In C#:
var categoryChart = new XamCategoryChart();
categoryChart.ItemsSource = data;
this.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(categoryChart);Build and run your project to verify the result. If you have implemented the steps correctly, the displayed XamCategoryChart should look like the one in the Preview section above.
