Live charts is an easy way to build poweful charts, all charts are animated, they update every time you change your data, it also has an awesome performance.

• Good looking, animated and easy to customize charts, you can practically change all properties.
• Autoupdate UI, you just create a SeriesCollection, then LiveCharts will handle everything.
• MVVM Charting, Support for WPF Bindings.
• Easy to maintain and create new charts, as you can see in the source code, some charts have almost no code.
• Supports zooming and panning.
• MIT License, permissive licensing.

This is the logic you use in every chart, there are just some litle properties or rules that change from each type of chart

//create a new SeriesCollection
var seriesCollection = new SeriesCollection();

//create some LineSeries if ypu need so
var charlesSeries = new LineSeries
{
  Title = "Charles",
  Values = new ChartValues<double> {10, 5, 7, 5, 7, 8}
};
var jamesSeries = new LineSeries
{
  Title = "James",
  Values = new ChartValues<double> { 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 9 }
};

//add series to seriesCollection
seriesCollection.Add(charlesSeries);
seriesCollection.Add(jamesSeries);

//now just assing this seriesCollectionto your chart
//you can use wpf bindings if you need it
myChart.Series = seriesCollection

//create some labels if necessary
var labels = new string[] {"Jan", "Feb" , "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Ago", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"};
myChart.AxixX.Labels = labels;
