So I wanted to create something like this.

Visual representation

Using this tool https://lvcharts.net/

I already have the data to add to the graph but I have no idea what that graph is called or how to use it, I tried looking for docs on the website that would help me with this specific graph but I couldnt find anything. Could anyone help me by showing a code snippet of a working example so I know how to use it? I already added the nuget package to my project and I have all the controls added. From what I understand you need to bind the control to a generic collection like a list that updates or something like that.

What I have tried:

I've tried looking at their website but couldnt make sense of it.

But there is all that you need on the website: Live Charts[^]

1. Go to Solution Explorer, right click on references, then Manage NuGet Packages.
2. Browse for LiveCharts.Wpf, select the package and click on install
3. Add namespace to your XAML

C#

xmlns:lvc="clr-namespace:LiveCharts.Wpf;assembly=LiveCharts.Wpf"

And to code behind if necessary

C#

using LiveCharts;
using LiveCharts.Wpf;

4.Code Behind

C#

SeriesCollection = new SeriesCollection
    {
        new LineSeries
        {
            Values = new ChartValues<double> { 3, 5, 7, 4 }
        },
        new ColumnSeries                
        {
            Values = new ChartValues<decimal> { 5, 6, 2, 7 }
        }
    };

5. XAML

XML

<lvc:CartesianChart Series="{Binding SeriesCollection}" />
