Scatter Spline Series
Updated on Mar 26, 2026
The ScatterSplineSeries are represented on the chart as data points connected with smooth line segments.
ScatterSplineSeries class inherits from the ScatterLineSeries class - See the inherited properties.
Example
The following example shows how to create a RadCartesianChart with a ScatterSplineSeries.
Defining the model
C#
public class Data
{
public double Category { get; set; }
public double Value { get; set; }
}
Populating with data
C#
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
List<Data> sampleData = new List<Data>
{
new Data() { Category = 2, Value = 3 },
new Data() { Category = 3, Value = 4 },
new Data() { Category = 4, Value = 5 },
new Data() { Category = 5, Value = 6 },
new Data() { Category = 6, Value = 5 },
new Data() { Category = 7, Value = 4 },
new Data() { Category = 8, Value = 3 },
new Data() { Category = 9, Value = 4 },
new Data() { Category = 10, Value = 5 },
new Data() { Category = 11, Value = 4 },
new Data() { Category = 12, Value = 3 },
new Data() { Category = 13, Value = 2 },
new Data() { Category = 14, Value = 1 }
};
this.radCartesianChart.DataContext = sampleData;
}
Defining the RadCartesianChart and ScatterSplineSeries
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:LinearAxis/>
</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
<telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.XValueBinding>
<telerikChart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="Category"/>
</telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.XValueBinding>
<telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.YValueBinding>
<telerikChart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="Value"/>
</telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.YValueBinding>
</telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries>
</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart>
</Grid>
RadCartesianChart with a ScatterSplineSeries

Spline Tension
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.
Setting the SplineTension property
XAML
<telerikChart:RadCartesianChart x:Name="radCartesianChart">
<telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
<telerikChart:LinearAxis/>
</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
<telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
<telerikChart:LinearAxis/>
</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
<telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries ItemsSource="{Binding}" SplineTension="0.9">
<telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.XValueBinding>
<telerikChart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="Category"/>
</telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.XValueBinding>
<telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.YValueBinding>
<telerikChart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="Value"/>
</telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries.YValueBinding>
</telerikChart:ScatterSplineSeries>
</telerikChart:RadCartesianChart>
