Thanks for the replies.

Max,

I was thinking about converting the "categories" to numerics, then formating the axis labels, but wasn't sure how to do it. The closest example I could find was the date converter/formatter.

I'll try a Point Chart and investigate this idea further.

Devin,

Maybe a small similar data set would help give you some context.

(Jan,HR,Fail),(Jan,Accounting,Fail),(Jan,Sales,Fail)

(Feb,HR,Fail),(Feb, Accounting,Pass),(Feb,Sales,Fail)

(Mar,HR,Fail),(Mar, Accounting,Pass),(Mar,Sales,Pass)

etc...

I built a prototype as a POC. Essentially a grid, with y axis (HR, Accounting,Sales), x axis (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc...) and each datagrid cell a color(green for pass, red for fail).

Of course it's not as pretty, functional, or elegant as Infragistics.

Here's a small point chart example that you might be able to use:

  <my:XamChart Background="AliceBlue" x:Name="chart">
            <my:XamChart.Series>
                <my:Series ChartType="Point">
                    <my:Series.DataPoints>
                        <my:DataPoint Value="3" Label="Jan"/>
                        <my:DataPoint Value="5" Label="Feb"/>
                        <my:DataPoint Value="2" Label="Mar"/>
                        <my:DataPoint Value="1" Label="Apr"/>
                    </my:Series.DataPoints>
                </my:Series>
            </my:XamChart.Series>
           
            <my:XamChart.Axes>
                <my:Axis AxisType="PrimaryY">
                    <my:Axis.Label>
                        <my:Label Format="Category:{0}"/>
                    </my:Axis.Label>
                </my:Axis>
            </my:XamChart.Axes>
        </my:XamChart>

Hi,

Is there a way to plot random point using point chart.

For example I want to plot a point at (2,5) and the next point at (5,8). The starting coordinate for x axis  is 0 ending coordinate is 10. The y axis is also divided in a similar way.

Thanks,

Junaid

Hi,

I cannot use scatter chart as I am trying to plot these points on a line chart.

Thanks,

Ju

I'm not sure I understand. So you're combining a line series and point series? There may be several workarounds here, which may or may not work for you, since I can't see the big picture.

You can use ScatterLine series to display lines on a numeric scale. Then, you can use scatter series to display random disconnected points.

If you must use a series with a string X axis, then your options are very limited. You can still use a point series to display disconnected points if you pad the series with empty values. For example, if you have 10 values on the x axis, your point series can have something like null, null, 5, null ... etc to draw a point at (2,5). These don't have to be nulls, they could be zeroes, negatives, or empty values, whatever makes them not visible.

Hope this helps you.

if your points have XY coordinates, then you need a scatter series, not a line series.  unfortunately these two series types cannot be combined in XamChart, so you would need to convert your lines to scatterline series, then add the scatter series on top.

or, you could use the new XamDataChart control, which does allow line series to be combined with scatterline series (you just need a 2nd x-axis).
