Spline Series

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

The SplineSeries are represented on the chart as data points connected with smooth line segments.

The SplineSeries class inherits from the LineSeries class - See the inherited properties.

Example

The following example shows how to create a RadCartesianChart with a SplineSeries.

Defining the model

public class Data
{
	public string Category { get; set; }

	public double Value { get; set; }
}

Populating with data

public MainPage()
{
	this.InitializeComponent();

	List<Data> data = new List<Data>
	{
		new Data() { Category = "Apples", Value = 5 },
		new Data() { Category = "Oranges", Value = 9 },
		new Data() { Category = "Pineaples", Value = 8 }
	};

	this.radCartesianChart.DataContext = data;
}

Defining the RadCartesianChart and SplineSeries

XAML

<Grid xmlns:telerikChart="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Chart">
	<telerikChart:RadCartesianChart x:Name="radCartesianChart">
		<telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
			<telerikChart:LinearAxis/>
		</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
		<telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
			<telerikChart:CategoricalAxis/>
		</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

		<telerikChart:SplineSeries ItemsSource="{Binding}">
			<telerikChart:SplineSeries.CategoryBinding>
				<telerikChart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="Category"/>
			</telerikChart:SplineSeries.CategoryBinding>
			<telerikChart:SplineSeries.ValueBinding>
				<telerikChart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="Value"/>
			</telerikChart:SplineSeries.ValueBinding>
		</telerikChart:SplineSeries>
	</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart>
</Grid>

RadCartesianChart with a SplineSeries

WinUI RadChart Categorical Spline Series

The spline-type series provides a property that allows you to control the tension of the spline. To do so, set the SplineTension property. The tension works with relative values between 0 and 1. The defualt tension is set to 0.5.
