Hello World,

First of all thank you very much for such a great library.
I am using this to display static data of ECG and it works perfect for me.
Now I am trying to use this for real-time ECG monitor.

I am having some issue,
The graph need to refresh at interval of 250 ms.
Total points contains in the graph 1250.
When I am trying to add new point in the series and try to refresh the plotmodel, the system slows down.
Kindly guide me to achieve this functionality.


I request you to kindly add example in the example browser for Real-Time Time-Series plot.
Some similar examples are,
FLOT
SciChart
Visifire

69ms vs 623ms per frame on two StairStep series with 35182 points each, approx. 1.6Mb of binary data

Works only on Direct3D10, but I assume it can be ported to Direct3D9

The problem is: I want to contribute to OxyPlot, but I guess I'd better put an opensource fork with credits, so someone can port rendering from it to Oxy. Rendering is kinda heavily optimised now, all up to LineSeries itself, and I will continue to get rid of unnecessary stuff. Right now actual rendering is mostly carried out by geometry shaders. I push raw points' data in screen coords to the vertex buffers as line lists and strips, and shaders process it into triangle stripes. Now, for example, I'm moving line clipping routines to the vertex shader stage frustum culling. I'd like to move screen coords transformation to the shader stage too in the nearest future.

So stay tuned, major performance breakthrough for OxyPlot is near.

Hello,

I think it would be extremely useful to add several offical(by oxyplot experts) real-time high performance plotting examples to http://resources.oxyplot.org/examplebrowser/

It seems there is a high demand for such functionality and zero "official" examples.
There is a great confusion on how to do it correctly with all the performance issues in mind. 

Thanks, 
Mike

I have a plot with a large number of points (>300000) and when I call, PlotView.InvalidatePlot(true), it takes a while to render. This is acceptable but I would like to put up an hourglass or some other indication that things will take a while. I'm having some problems though as I don't know when the Rendering is complete. I can't find an event that I can subscribe to. Is there one?


I call MyPlot.InvalidatePlot(true); from the main GUI thread. If my understanding is correct, InvalidatePlot works on another thread. Presumeably, it must get back on the GUI thread to actually plot data. I tried using the following:


Mouse.OverrideCursor = Cursors.Wait;
MyPlot.InvalidatePlot(true);
Mouse.OverrideCursor = null;


and other similar ideas but to no avail. I'm guessing that InvalidatePlot is a non blocking call. What I really need to do is switch to Cursors.Wait and then in some event, set the cursor back again. I was hoping for something like:


MyPlot.RenderingCompleted or some such thing. Can someone give me some pointers?


Regards,
Dave

My work is almost done, and this is the last (I hope) barrier I have encountered.
The X axis is time, and data points are added in real time. The default behaviour seems (I did nothing but calling InvalidatePlot(true)) showing all data points by shrinking the entire graph. This is not what I want.

What I want is keeping the current scale (whichever the user has set by his/her mouse wheel) of the X axis as it is, and scrolling to the rightmost when new data points are added. Note that the data points are not added in the exactly same time interval. That is, one can be added at 0:01, the next one at 0:03 and the next one at 0:04.

Is this possible? I tried to set Minimum (users may scroll horizontally to the left before the first visible data point) and Absolute Maximum (users are not allowed to scroll horizontally to the right beyond the last data point) but it still was shrinking.

Hi,
Clicking on the marker is throwing "FormatException".The problem occurs in the ExampleBrowser also. To reproduce the problem just open ExampleBrowser -> TimeSpanAxis example, click on any marker.

So I've seen the error a few times, mainly when the plot is trying to update and data is being added to the series:

Seems to be because ICollection is being used here:
https://github.com/oxyplot/oxyplot/blob/develop/So...
Would it be better to use one of the concurrent collects for this?

Hi, 

I would like to know if there is an easy way to create multiple subplots in a single PlotModel. 
Obviously I can just create several PlotModels and achieve something similar, but is there a better more elegant way to do it?

Thanks, 
Mike
