VelloSharp.Charting.WinForms

VelloSharp.Charting.WinForms adapts the charting controls to the Windows Forms framework, balancing legacy investments with modern rendering performance.

Getting Started​

  1. Install via dotnet add package VelloSharp.Charting.WinForms.
  2. Import using VelloSharp.Charting.WinForms; in your WinForms project.
  3. Drag the provided controls onto your forms (or instantiate them in code) and bind them to data produced by VelloSharp.ChartData.
  4. Tie the controls into your rendering loop using helpers from VelloSharp.Integration.WinForms to keep frames synchronized with the UI thread.

Usage Example​

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using VelloSharp.Charting.WinForms;

[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

    var chart = new ChartView { Dock = DockStyle.Fill };
    Application.Run(new Form { Text = "WinForms Chart", Controls = { chart } });
}
