What I have is a BarSeries
to display a histogram (rotated by 90 degrees, compared to the common way to draw histograms).
Putting aside the question if that's the best way to go about drawing a histogram, using the classes in System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization
(although comments are welcome), what would be the best way to draw a curve over such a chart?
This curve (just a dotted line gaussian in my case) must be probably scaled and positioned inside the "coordinate system" of the chart. (The scare quotes are intended to indicate that with a bar series chart, there isn't a actual two-dimensional coordinate system, but adjusting bar dimensions and gaps I think it could effectively be turned into one.)
I've done a bit of research and started played around a bit with AdornerDecorator
s providing me with a AdornerLayer
to draw on, but there are also StackedPanel
s and potentially other options, so if anyone knows of a good way to implement what I need, that'd probably save me a lot of trial-and-error.
Just add both a ColumnSeries
as well as a LineSeries
inside the same Chart
element. The following snippet also contains the LayoutTransform
which rotates the whole thing.
<Grid>
<Chart>
<Chart.LayoutTransform>
<RotateTransform CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5" Angle="90"/>
</Chart.LayoutTransform>
<ColumnSeries></ColumnSeries>
<LineSeries></LineSeries>
</Chart>
</Grid>
