// What about WPF 3D Charts?

As of SciChart v4 we now support DirectX powered WPF 3D Chart Controls including Real-time WPF 3D Surface Mesh Chart, WPF 3D Point-Cloud Chart, WPF 3D Scatter Chart, WPF 3D Bubble Chart, 3D Column Chart and more … Our WPF 3D Charts are both real-time and interactive and allow zooming, panning, rotating of a 3D scene seamlessly inside a WPF Charting application, all using declarative XAML and MVVM as WPF was intended to be used.

// WPF Chart Performance

Our legendary WPF Charting performance is achieved by a mixture of extensive end-to-end performance optimisations, C# unsafe code, DirectX drawing (with fall-back to software) and intelligent culling / resampling / data transformation algorithms. You just won’t find real-world WPF Chart performance quite like SciChart!

With SciChart, it is now possible to display 10,000,000+ point line-charts, 1,000,000+ point scatter charts, or 1,000,000+ bar candlestick charts and update in real-time. It’s also possible to display thousands of series, or hundreds of WPF Charts on a single UI without stalling the rest of your user interface.
