Hello,

I would like to make a simple plot in a Windows Forms Application. After pressing a button the plot should be displayed. So far I have done following steps:

1. Created Windows Forms Application project,

2. Added one button that should display the plot,

3. Added OxyPlot Package by choosing Tools->Library Package Manager-> Package Manager Console and printing Install-Package OxyPlot.WindowsForms

4. I chose one Plot from the examples:

[Example("LineSeries")]

       public static PlotModel LineSeries()

       {

           var plotModel1 = new PlotModel();

           plotModel1.LegendSymbolLength = 24;

           plotModel1.Title = "LineSeries";

           plotModel1.Axes.Add();

           plotModel1.Axes.Add();

           plotModel1.Series.Add();

          var linearAxis1 = new LinearAxis();

           linearAxis1.Position = AxisPosition.Bottom;

           plotModel1.Axes.Add(linearAxis1);

           var linearAxis2 = new LinearAxis();

           plotModel1.Axes.Add(linearAxis2);

           var lineSeries1 = new LineSeries();

           lineSeries1.Color = OxyColors.SkyBlue;

           lineSeries1.MarkerFill = OxyColors.SkyBlue;

           lineSeries1.MarkerSize = 6;

           lineSeries1.MarkerStroke = OxyColors.White;

           lineSeries1.MarkerStrokeThickness = 1.5;

           lineSeries1.MarkerType = MarkerType.Circle;

           lineSeries1.Title = "Series 1";

           lineSeries1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(0,10));

           lineSeries1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(10,40));

           lineSeries1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(40,20));

           lineSeries1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(60,30));

           plotModel1.Series.Add(lineSeries1);

           return plotModel1;

       }

End there is my question. I have the code for the button like this:

  private void button1(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

        }

How to use the code from [Example("LineSeries")] in button1?

Any help appreciated.

You need to add an OxyPlot.WindowsForms.Plot control to your Form.

Then set the Model property of that control to the model provided by your LineSeries method.

See Examples/WindowsForms/WindowsFormsDemo/Form1.cs

Hello Objo,

Thanks for the answer. In Examples\WindowsForms\WindowsFormsDemo\ I can find only these flies: OxyPlot.dll, OxyPlot.WindowsForms.dll, WindowsFormsDemo.exe and no Form1.cs
