Surface plotting a matrix in WPF or WinForms

Question

I have a matrix of data (the columns represent time, and the rows spectrum frequencies) that I want to plot in a WinForms or WPF control. Something like a surface plot in MATLAB.

I have looked at Microsoft Charting Controls, but it doesn't seem to support anything that could help me.

Do you have a good idea of how to display this data? A library preferably.

There is lot of information in this thread of SO - http://stackoverflow.com/q/1000623/763026. Probably you will get your answer. — Angshuman Agarwal, Jun 15 '12 at 11:00

In your situation, I usually check all the available paid controls, like Telerik, Infragistics, DevExpress, etc. to find something that fits my needs. Then I consider if it is worth the cost, in case it is not worth the cost I implement a custom control myself.

I have decided to write it myself. Surprisingly, the WriteableBitmap is quite fast. – kasperhj Jun 17 '12 at 09:41

@MartinaLabMath I can see if I can find the code. I am now using SciCharts which has a HeatMap that is quite fast. – kasperhj Apr 21 '15 at 15:54
