You can place X-axis at the Top or bottom and Y axis on the Left or Right. Several axes on one side is also possible.

You can rotate charts by displaying X axis on the Left/Right and Y axis on the Top/Bottom. You can mix types of axis on the same chart and have unlimited customization as to how your data is scaled.

Annotations & Markers
Our WPF Charts feature a powerful Annotations API which allows you to place WPF UIElements over the chart at specific data-point locations.

There are plenty of Annotations ready our of the box, e.g. line, arrow, box, text and more. Custom annotations are possible if you want to display custom markers or points of interest. SciChart supports interaction with annotations, where you can allow user to click on annotation, drag it and resize.
