How to: Animate Series Points in a 2D Chart

• Jun 07, 2019

The following example demonstrates how to animate a chart’s series points.

To accomplish this, assign an animation effect to the PointAnimation property of a series object whose points you would like to animate (e.g., to the BarSeries2DBase.PointAnimation property).
