Example

This example shows how to create a Box Plot chart:

  1. Create a ChartControl and specify its ChartControl.Diagram property to a XYDiagram2D object. Note that the ChartControl.Diagram is a content property. You can declare a diagram in XAML directly after a chart control’s declaration without wrapping it in opening and closing ChartControl.Diagram tags.

  2. Add a BoxPlotSeries2D object to the Diagram.Series collection. Note that the Diagram.Series is a content property. You can declare series in XAML directly after a diagram’s declaration without wrapping them in opening and closing Diagram.Series tags.

  3. Use the following properties to bind the series to data:

  4. The following properties allow you to customize the Box Plot chart appearance:
