    Create Blood Pressure Chart with RadChart for Silverlight

    This blog post will demonstrate how to achieve blood pressure graph visualization with the use of a RangeBar Chart type.

It is measured several times over a period, as it’s important (from a clinical standpoint) to track any change in the values. For the purpose the default RangeBar’s Style is retemplated. The Width of the Bars (“PART_DefiningGeometry”) is reduced so that...

Also, you will need three events – MouseEnter, MouseLeave and MouseMove to track the mouse cursor position and “move” the gridlines across the plot area. By handling the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events you’ll change the visibility of the gridlines to Visible and Collapsed whenever the mouse cursor enters or leaves the...
