Can't define Axes in Xaml

Phil Jollans 8 years ago updated by Oystein Bjorke 8 years ago 3

I have added OxyPlot to my project using the nuget command

Install-Package OxyPlot.Wpf -Pre


In my first test I defined a PlotView in Xaml and the PlotModel in C# code.


Then I wanted to try configuring the Axes in Xaml, but that doesn't seem possible with the current version. PlotView does not have a property Axes.


I have downloaded the OxyPlot samples from GitHub. Some of the samples (for example AxesDemo) do define Axes in Xaml. What is going on?


Even if I could define the Axes in Xaml, would this be incompatible with data-binding to the Model property?


Is there some high level documentation of the structure of Plot, PlotView and Controller?

The `Axes` property can be found in the `<Plot>` control, not in `<PlotView>`. See the example:

https://github.com/oxyplot/oxyplot/blob/develop/Source/Examples/WPF/WpfExamples/Examples/AxesDemo/MainWindow.xaml

Thanks, I had already figured this out from the GitHub "develop" branch. I have just now tried it out with build 1915 from NuGet and it also works.


I had also downloaded the "master" branch from GitHub. On this branch, the AxesDemo uses PlotView insteand of plot.


Has there been a change in the usage from PlotView to Plot?

I don't really get the difference between these objects.


By the way, I am really impressed with Oxyplot. Great work!

The `PlotView` component is now similar on all platforms, it contains only `Model` and `Controller` properties.

The `Plot` control let you define axes, series, annotations etc. and this should only be available in XAML-based platforms.
