What do people use these days for graphing (charting) simple time series data in WPF? My needs are simple: graph time series of roughly 5000 points and be able to zoom in/out on sections. It would also be nice to have multiple time series on one graph. I want to get something up and running quickly with a minimum of fuss. I'm analyzing the data analytically, and the chart is just for demo purposes.

I much prefer a free/open source solution. If it can be done from standard .NET libraries, so much the better. I saw mention of OxyPlot ( Linecharting Toolkit for WPF) and in the same reference they mention the WPF Toolkit. However, I don't see any charting tools in the WPF toolkit (I downloaded it through NuGet Package Manager so perhaps I'm not get the right one?)

I also saw that Windows Forms (not WPF) has a chart control: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd456753.aspx

Note that all of the above references are quite out of date.

Can someone recommend a solution? Thanks, Dave

The link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd456753.aspx covers details for creating chart in Wpf application. Only drawback is that these charts are not flashy by default and you have to write/customize style to make them attractive.

    Thanks Sham. I did notice this one. Notice that the latest version is 2012! You'd think they would have updated since then. – Dave Oct 15 '18 at 18:20
