High–performance WPF and Winforms Charts & Graphs

LightningChart .NET can visualize up to BILLIONS of data points in real time.

We speak with numbers!

The highest performance on the market

LightningChart is entirely GPU accelerated and performance optimized charting component that can display record breaking amounts of data points in real-time. What does this mean for you?

● Real-time monitoring without flickering or delays

● High-resolution datasets

● Smooth Interactivity

● Efficient use of machine resources

● Ability to render data with older machine hardware, maintaining all advantages mentioned above

XY charts

Product characteristics

● Visualize your data in informative and interesting way in 3D XYZ cartesian chart view.

● Series types: surface mesh, surface grid, waterfall, polygon, rectangle planes, mesh models, line, point-line, scatter points, bar and pie charts

● 3D scene settings with multiple light sources

● 3D models importing in .obj format

● Gigantic surface sizes of over 4096x4096, depending on available memory

● Includes ViewPie3D, to visualize pie and donut charts in 3D

● Linear and logarithmic axes

3D charts

● On-line tile maps: supports street maps and satellite imagery

● Dozens of maps: World, continents, specific areas

● Multi-layer: land, lakes, rivers, roads, cities etc

● Map import from ESRI shape file data

● Combining other XY series in the visualization

● Axis scales presented in selectable geographic coordinates formatting

Maps

● Absolute and normalized scales

● Static distance and zoom adapting ticks and grid. Allows automatic generation of ticks and grid when zooming for better understanding of values, without cluttering the display.

● Automatic zoom-to-fit for whole area or data only

● Zooming and panning via ready-made mouse operations

● Tick values always visible, even when zoomed in close

● Data and grid clipping to graph area. You can show data also on outside of the graph.

Smith charts

● Series types: line, scatter points, point-line, areas

● Line colorization per amplitude, angle or data point value

● Several polar axes per chart with unique rotation angles

● Markers

● Sectors

Polar charts

Volumetric information plays an essential role in medicine, e.g. for an advanced cancer detection, visualization of aneurysms, and treatment planning. It is also used for non-destructive material testing via computer tomography or ultrasound. In addition, huge three-dimensional datasets are produced by geo seismic research, and can also be visualized by our Volume Rendering engine.

Volume Rendering

● Separate Linear Transfer function for every channel

● Volume Thresholding in accordance with voxels brightness for every channel

● Dynamic modification of Voxel range

● Manual or Automatic Adaptive sampling rate of volume data

● Three options for Volume Rendering Ray function: accumulation, maximal intensity and isosurface

● Combining 3D models and series in the same visualization

SignalReader

SignalReader generates real-time data stream reading signal files in different formats: WAV (PCM), sid (biosignal file), ssd (LightningChart Ultimate Demo application sample data format). The playback can be automatically restarted with looping option.

AudioInput

Reads real-time sampled data stream from sound card line-in (using e.g. microphone) through DirectSound. The data can be forwarded to chart, AudioOutput or your own data target.

SignalGenerator

SignalGenerator is a multi-functional signal generator component. It allows combining different waveform types into single, real-time output signal. The waveform components can be set with a built-in user interface or by code.

For WPF, LightningChart component is available in different binding level editions, to balance between different performance and MVVM (Model – View – View-Model) bindability needs.

As a general starting point, Arction recommends Semi-bindable API.

For best performance in WPF and multithreading benefits, select Non-Bindable chart.

SpectrumCalculator

Converts data between time domain and frequency domain using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm in Digital Signal Processing (DSP).

AudioOutput

Allows real-time data stream playback via sound card line-out (using e.g. speakers) through DirectSound. The data can be fetched from SignalGenerator, SignalReader, AudioInput or other data source.

Full mouse-interaction, touch screen support, custom mouse interactivity extensions
Cursors and Annotations, data colorizing with color palette, and full customizability of components
Data breaking by NaN or other specified breaking value, in selected series types
Numeric, Time, DateTime, Logarithmic, Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) and Custom axis scales
Professional 5-star technical support & Hundreds of chart examples
