Line chart populated from uint[]

[David]

Hi,

I'm new to Telerik controls and WPF for that matter.  I have an array of uint, always will have 2048 items and I'd like to plot a line chart using the ChartView.  I cannot figure out the right combination of what type of data series and how to format the axis. This array will be updating periodically, so is there away for the chart to get updated when the array does?  Also is there a way to fill in the area beneath the line chart?

Looking for some code snippets, or a sample project.  We are looking to buy a WPF toolkit in the very near future for up to 5 developers.

Thanks!

I basically figured out how to populate the chart with data for a Line chart from my array:

 

 

 

//globally defined
private uint[] _EDSData = new uint[2048];


void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
  RandomlyPopulateArray(_EDSData);
  radCartesianChart1.Series[0].ItemsSource = null;
  radCartesianChart1.Series[0].ItemsSource = _EDSData;
}

My XAML looks as follows:

<telerik:RadCartesianChart Grid.Row="0"  Name="radCartesianChart1">

  <telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
    <telerik:CategoricalAxis MajorTickInterval="256"
                             LabelInterval="128"
                             ShowLabels="True"
                             />
  </telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

  <telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
    <telerik:LinearAxis />
  </telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>

  <telerik:RadCartesianChart.Series>
    <telerik:LineSeries Stroke="Orange"
                        StrokeThickness="2">
    </telerik:LineSeries>

  </telerik:RadCartesianChart.Series>
</telerik:RadCartesianChart>

I would like to know how I can label my X-axis, basically just the index of the data point in the array.  Also I would like to know how to fill the area under the line.

Thanks!

Hi David,

how I can label my X-axis
Try decreasing the LabelInterval. Try a value of 2 and see how it goes.

how to fill the area under the line
Try the AreaSeries instead of the LineSeries.
