Migrating from Chart to SfChart in WPF Charts (SfChart)

14 Jul 202124 minutes to read

SfChart is a new chart introduced in 11.1 version. SfChart is a very high performance chart enriched with several business features. This section helps you to identify equivalent Chart features/ APIs in SfChart.

Adding Reference

Chart assembly Name: Syncfusion.Chart.Wpf assembly

SfChart assembly Name: Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF assembly

The following code example illustrates xmlns namespace for Chart. You can include the Syncfusion schema in WPF and both the charts are available in the WPF schema.

Chart

  • XAML
    • xmlns:syncfusion="https://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"

    SfChart

  • XAML
    • xmlns:syncfusion="https://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"

                     (or)

xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF"

    Initialization

    One of the biggest differences between Chart and SfChart is, Chart is constructed using one or more ChartArea. So, logically ChartArea is equivalent to SfChart.

    Note: In SfChart, you can split the area into multiple plotting areas using RowDefinitions and ColumnDefinitions API.

    Following code example illustrates the initialization of Chart with ChartArea,

  • XAML
    • <syncfusion:Chart>

<syncfusion:ChartArea BorderBrush="Green"  BorderThickness="5" Background="Gray" SideBySideSeriesPlacement="True"  />

</syncfusion:Chart>
  • C#
    • Chart chart = new Chart();

ChartArea area = new ChartArea();

area.Background = Brushes.Gray;

area.BorderBrush = Brushes.Red;

area.BorderThickness = new Thickness(5);

area.SideBySideSeriesPlacement = true;

chart.Areas.Add(area);.

    Following code example illustrates the initialization of SfChart that is equivalent to the above code example.

    <syncfusion:SfChart Header="ChartArea" AreaBackground="Red" AreaBorderBrush="Gray" AreaBorderThickness="5" SideBySideSeriesPlacement="True"  />
    SfChart chart = new SfChart();

chart.AreaBackground = Brushes.Gray;

chart.AreaBorderBrush = Brushes.Red;

chart.AreaBorderThickness = new Thickness(5);

chart.SideBySideSeriesPlacement = true;

    The following table illustrates the API comparison between ChartArea and SfChart.

    ChartArea SfChart Description
    Header Header Gets or sets the header name for Chart
    Background AreaBackground Gets or sets the Chart area background (rectangle bounds excluding Axis and legend)
    BorderBrush AreaBorderBrush Gets or sets the Chart area border brush.
    BorderThickness AreaBorderThickness Gets or sets the Chart area border thickness.
    SideBySideSeriesPlacement SideBySideSeriesPlacement Gets or sets Boolean value whether series is placed side by side or not.
    Series Series Gets or sets ChartSeriesCollection to Chart.
    ShowGridLines - Gets or sets Boolean value for showing the gridlines for both axes.
    EnableRangeSelection - Gets or sets Boolean value that enables you to select a particular range of a primary axis by using two cursors.
    StartValue - Gets or sets start value for range selection
    EndValue - Gets or sets end value for range selection
    ShowLegend - Gets or sets Boolean value for showing the chart legends.
    SplitterColor - Gets or sets color for SyncChartAreas splitter
    SplitterPosition - Gets or sets position for SyncChartAreas splitter
    SplitterStroke - Gets or sets stroke for SyncChartAreas splitter
    SplitterVisibility - Gets or sets visibility for SyncChartAreas splitter
    SplitterWidth - Gets or sets width for SyncChartAreas splitter

    Legend

    The Legends are same for both Chart and SfChart except that you can add multiple Legends for the SfChart.
    The Legend property in ChartArea accepts single Legend for whole Chart. In case of SfChart, the Legend property of
    the SfChart is an object that accepts one or more Legends based on your requirement.
    For more details

    The following code example illustrates the usage of Legend in Chart and SfChart.

    Chart

    <syncfusion:ChartArea>

  <syncfusion:ChartArea.Legend>

 <syncfusion:ChartLegend syncfusion:Chart.Dock="Floating" Orientation="Vertical"  OffsetX="200" OffsetY="200" ItemTemplate="{StaticResourcelegend}" CheckBoxVisibility="Collapsed"/>

  </syncfusion:ChartArea.Legend>

</syncfusion:ChartArea>
    ChartArea area = new ChartArea();

ChartLegend legend = new ChartLegend();

Chart.SetDock(legend, ChartDock.Floating);

legend.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;

legend.OffsetX = 200d;

legend.OffsetY = 200d;

legend.CheckBoxVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

area.Legend = legend;

chart.Areas.Add(area)

    SfChart

    <syncfusion:SfChart>

<syncfusion:SfChart.Legend>

<syncfusion:ChartLegend  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource legend}"CheckBoxVisibility="Visible" LegendPosition="Outside"  Orientation="Vertical"OffsetY="200" OffsetX="200"   DockPosition="Floating"/>

</syncfusion:SfChart.Legend>

</syncfusion:SfChart>
    SfChart chart = new SfChart();

ChartLegend legend = new ChartLegend();

legend.ItemTemplate = grid.Resources["legend"] as DataTemplate;

legend.CheckBoxVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

legend.OffsetX = 200d;

legend.OffsetY = 200d;

legend.Orientation = ChartOrientation.Vertical;

legend.DockPosition = ChartDock.Top; 

legend.LegendPosition = LegendPosition.Outside;



chart.Legend = legend;

    The following table illustrates the API comparison between ChartArea and SfChart.

    ChartLegend (Chart) ChartLegend (SfChart) Description
    CheckBoxVisibility CheckBoxVisibility Gets or sets visibility for Legend check box
    Orientation Orientation Gets or sets orientation for Legends
    chart:Chart.Dock DockPosition Gets or sets docking position for Legends that decides the positioning for Legends.

    ElementMargin Margin Gets or sets the margin for Legend element.
    ShowSymbol IconVisibility Gets or sets the visibility for Legend icon symbol.

    Axis

    The class design for Axis is different for both ChartArea and SfChart. In ChartArea, Axis is the instance of ChartAxis type and its type is mentioned in ValueType property as in the following code example.

  • XAML
    • <syncfusion:ChartArea.PrimaryAxis>

<syncfusion:ChartAxis  ValueType="DateTime"  />

</syncfusion:ChartArea.PrimaryAxis>

    In SfChart, Axis can be an instance of NumericalAxis, DateTimeAxis, CategoryAxis, LogarithmicAxis, TimeSpanAxis or DateTimeCategoryAxis. Class name represents the type of data it can plot. For example, NumericalAxis can plot numeric values and DateTimeAxis can plot DateTime values. Following code example illustrates this,

  • XAML
    • <syncfusion:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>

<syncfusion:DateTimeAxis Header="X-Axis"/>

</syncfusion:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>

    The following table compares the APIs,

    ChartAxis NumericalAxis, DateTimeAxis, CategoryAxis, LogarithmicAxis, TimeSpanAxis and DateTimeCategoryAxis Description

    Following code example illustrates how to customize gridlines.

    Chart

    <chart:ChartArea.GridLineStroke>

<Pen Brush="#c6c6c6" >

<Pen.DashStyle>

<DashStyle Dashes="1,3"/>

</Pen.DashStyle>

</Pen>

</chart:ChartArea.GridLineStroke>
    Pen pen = new Pen();

DashStyle style = new DashStyle() { Dashes = new DoubleCollection(3) };

pen.DashStyle = style;

pen.Brush = Brushes.Red;

ChartArea.SetGridLineStroke(primaryAxis, pen);

    SfChart

    <sfchart:NumericalAxis.MajorGridLineStyle>

<Style TargetType="Line">

<Setter Property="StrokeDashArray" Value="1,3"></Setter>

<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="#c6c6c6" />

</Style>

</sfchart:NumericalAxis.MajorGridLineStyle>
    Style lineStyle = new Style(typeof(Line));

lineStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(Line.StrokeDashArrayProperty, new DoubleCollection(3)));

lineStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(Line.StrokeProperty, Brushes.Red));

primaryAxis.MajorGridLineStyle = lineStyle;

    Series

    Like Axis, ChartSeries architecture is also different for Chart and SfChart. Instead of specifying the respective ChartType, you can create the instance of required series (Class name itself represents the type of series) in SfChart as in the following code example.

    Chart

  • XAML
    • <syncfusion:ChartArea>

<syncfusion:ChartSeries Type="Line"  ShowToolTip="True"

EmptyPointInterior="Purple" EmptyPointStyle="Interior"

<syncfusion:LineSeries.YAxis>

<syncfusion:NumericalAxis  Minimum="20" Maximum="50"/>

</syncfusion:LineSeries.YAxis>

</syncfusion:LineSeries>

</syncfusion:SfChart>
    SfChart chart = new Sfchart();

LineSeries lineseries = new LineSeries();

lineseries.ItemsSource = viewmodel.power;

lineseries.XBindingPath = "Year";

lineseries.YBindingPath = "Sports";

lineseries.Label = "LineSeries";

lineseries.Interior = Brushes.Brown;

lineseries.ShowTooltip = true;

lineseries.ShowEmptyPoints = true;

lineseries.EmptyPointInterior = Brushes.Purple;

lineseries.EmptyPointStyle = EmptyPointStyle.Interior;

lineseries.EmptyPointValue = EmptyPointValue.Average;

lineseries.StrokeThickness = 3;

lineseries.EnableAnimation = true;

lineseries.AnimationDuration = new TimeSpan(00, 00, 03);

lineseries.IsSeriesVisible = true;

lineseries.IsSortData = true;

lineseries.IsTransposed = true;

lineseries.SortBy = SortingAxis.X;

lineseries.YAxis = new NumericalAxis() { Minimum = 20, Maximum = 50 };

lineseries.SortDirection = Direction.Ascending;

chart.Series.Add(lineseries);

adornment.SegmentShowLine = true;

adornment.SegmentLabelRotation = 30d;

adornment.AdornmentsPosition = AdornmentsPosition.Top;



lineseries.AdornmentsInfo = adornment;

    SfChart

    <syncfusion:LineSeries >

<syncfusion:LineSeries.ChartAdornmentInfo>

<syncfusion:ChartAdornmentInfo  Symbol="Cross"

    Interactive Cursor

    The InteractiveCursor is represented as ChartCrosshairBehavior and ChartTrackballBehavior in SfChart. Following code example illustrates this,

    Chart

    <syncfusion:ChartArea>

<syncfusion:ChartArea.InteractiveCursors>

<syncfusion:InteractiveCursor VerticalLabelVisibility="Visible"HorizontalLabelVisibility="Visible" IsBindWithMouseMove="True"IsBindWithSegment="False" OffsetX="100" OffsetY="100"/>

</syncfusion:ChartArea.InteractiveCursors>

</syncfusion:ChartArea>
    ChartArea area= new ChartArea();

InteractiveCursor incCursor = new InteractiveCursor();

incCursor.VerticalLabelVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

incCursor.HorizontalLabelVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

incCursor.IsBindWithMouseMove = true;

incCursor.IsBindWithSegment = false;

incCursor.OffsetX = 100d;

incCursor.OffsetY = 100d;

area.InteractiveCursors.Add(incCursor);

    SfChart

    <syncfusion:SfChart>

<syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

<syncfusion:ChartCrossHairBehavior HorizontalAxisLabelAlignment="Center"VerticalAxisLabelAlignment="Center" />

<syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors/>

</syncfusion:SfChart>
    SfChart chart = new SfChart();

ChartCrossHairBehavior crosshair = new ChartCrossHairBehavior();

crosshair.VerticalAxisLabelAlignment = ChartAlignment.Center;

crosshair.HorizontalAxisLabelAlignment = ChartAlignment.Center;

chart.Behaviors.Add(crosshair);

    Zooming and Panning

    The Zooming and Panning are achieved using the ChartZoomPanBehavior in SfChart as in the following code example.

    Chart

    <syncfusion:ChartArea EnableZoomOnScroll="True" ZoomAllAxes="True"chart:ChartZoomingToolkit.ZoomingToolkitVisibility="Visible"EnableMouseDragZooming="True" /> 
    ChartArea area= new ChartArea();

area.ZoomAllAxes = true;

area.EnableZoomOnScroll = true;

ChartZoomingToolkit.SetZoomingToolkitVisibility(area, Visibility.Visible);

    SfChart

    <syncfusion:SfChart>

 <syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

<syncfusion:ChartZoomPanBehavior ZoomMode="XY" EnablePinchZooming="False"ZoomRelativeToCursor="False" EnableMouseWheelZooming="True"EnableSelectionZooming="False" EnablePanning="True" />

<syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors/>

</syncfusion:SfChart>
    SfChart chart = new SfChart();

ChartZoomPanBehavior zoom = new ChartZoomPanBehavior();

zoom.EnableMouseWheelZooming = true;

zoom.EnablePanning = true;

zoom.EnableSelectionZooming = false;

zoom.ZoomMode = ZoomMode.XY;

zoom.ZoomRelativeToCursor = false;

zoom.EnablePinchZooming = false;

chart.Behaviors.Add(zoom);

    StripLines

    The following code example demonstrates the usage of StripLines in Chart and SfChart.

    Chart

    <syncfusion:ChartAxis.StripLines>

<syncfusion:ChartStripLine x:Name="strip" Start="40" IsSegmented="False"SegmentStartValue="20" SegmentEndValue="40" RepeatEvery="10" RepeatUntil="50"TextRotationAngle="30"  StartFromAxis="False" Width="5" IsPixelWidth="False"Interior="#b4e8f3" >

<syncfusion:ChartAxis.StripLines/>

    SyncChartAreas

    In Chart, you can split chart area into multiple plotting areas that share common axis, crosshair/interactive cursor etc., using SyncChartAreas class.

    In SfChart, you can split chart into multiple plotting areas that share common axis, crosshair/interactive cursor and zooming functionalities by defining multiple rows and columns using RowDefinitions and ColumnDefinition properties. It is similar to defining rows and columns in Grid panel.

    The following code example illustrates the API’s for both charts,
