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

Not for a point chart. Point charts use a string X axis, which cannot be expressed as a true numeric range. You should look into the scatter series, where you can have both numeric axes.

Hi,

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

I have a line graph and now I want to plot a few points on these lines. I tried to use scatter chart but its not compatible with line charts. Is there a solution to this.

Thanks,

Ju

There is a workaround, or rather a possible guideline for using Point chart with Line chart, that I have outlined in the previous post in the last paragraph. However, If you just want to draw a marker over one of the points in the line series, you can simply set a marker on one of the data points, like so:

  <igChart:Series ChartType="Line">
    <igChart:Series.DataPoints>
      <igChart:DataPoint Value="3"/>
        <igChart:DataPoint Value="2"/>
          <igChart:DataPoint Value="5">
            <igChart:DataPoint.Marker>
              <igChart:Marker Type="Circle" Format=" "/>
            </igChart:DataPoint.Marker>
         </igChart:DataPoint>
      <igChart:DataPoint Value="3"/>
    </igChart:Series.DataPoints>
  </igChart:Series>
