Bicycle Eliminator: Part 2

    Based on the fact that the first article gathered a lot of advantages and got into the favorites of a large number of people, I realized that the topic is relevant and, firstly, I urge the community to catch up (after all, I cannot know absolutely all the libraries and solutions), and secondly, I will continue with forces to talk about which libraries you can pull up if you need to do something instead of making more and more bicycles consisting of water pipes.

    In this topic, I will touch on an important topic for many - the topic of drawing graphs in the .NET platform. Remember: after all, once it was just necessary to display a beautiful schedule on the screen ... And what happened? That's right, there was a new bike.

    Part One of a Series





    DynamicDataDisplay (D 3 )



    This is a dynamic data visualization control library implemented on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology.

    The library uses optimal data binding mechanisms, and with its help it is possible to visualize graphs constructed by a large number of points (up to several million) in real time.

    DynamicDataDisplay controls can be used in the same way as regular controls from the WPF library. You can use any data as a source of coordinates - arrays, data tables, or functions. Any change in the source data leads to an update of the displayed information, which, for example, can be used to visualize complex computing processes.

    Some output examples



         The library is freely available for download on Codeplex.
         It can be used to display any information on the screen in any form.
         Animation supported.
         Poor output performance I
         have to take a shot to get a beautiful, presentation chart.

    Zedgraph


    Free and very rich library of output of various types of graphs. It covers a huge number of types of graphs that you can use in your projects. It features simplified graphics, ease of use.

    There is also support for customization through the Visual Studio Form Designer.

    A nice moment for many developers is the excellent documentation and the availability of Russian-language documentation for the library.

    Some output examples




    Easy to use and, in my opinion, required to study.

         The library is freely available for download from SourceForge.
         Very easy to use.
         Rich documentation.
         Low performance on large amounts of data.
         Not presentable.

    Microsoft chart controls




    Microsoft Chart Controls - controls for building charts in ASP.NET and Windows Forms.

    The set includes an extensive coverage of chart types and more than 200 different examples of charting and can be built into any ASP.NET or WinForms project. Moreover, in the .NET Framework this component is available “out of the box”.

    In my opinion, it is very rich and easy to use.

    Some output examples




         The library is freely available for download from the Microsoft site.
         Present in the .NET Framework 4.
         ASP.NET is supported.
         Low performance on large amounts of data
