ChartControl for Avalonia

This is a chart control (line with markers) for Avalonia. See and run the sample app to get to know it.

How to use

First add the package to your project. Use NuGet to get it: https://www.nuget.org/packages/ChartControl.Avalonia/

Or use this command in the Package Manager console to install the package manually

Install-Package ChartControl.Avalonia

Second add a style to your App.axaml (from the sample app)

<Application
    xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <Application.Styles>
        <!-- Overall style goes here: <FluentTheme Mode="Light"/> -->
        <StyleInclude Source="avares://SampleApp/Themes/FluentChartControl.axaml" />
    </Application.Styles>
</Application>

Or use the default one

<Application
    xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <Application.Styles>
        <!-- Overall style goes here: <FluentTheme Mode="Light"/> -->
        <StyleInclude Source="avares://ChartControl/Themes/Default.axaml" />
    </Application.Styles>
</Application>

Then add the control to your Window.axaml (minimum)

<Window xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:si="clr-namespace:SatialInterfaces.Controls.Chart;assembly=ChartControl">
    <Grid>
        <si:ChartControl />
    </Grid>
</Window>

It's even better to specify the item template with binding to your view model

<Window xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:si="clr-namespace:SatialInterfaces.Controls.Chart;assembly=ChartControl">
    <Grid>
        <si:ChartControl>
            <si:ChartControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <si:ChartPoint X="{Binding X}" Y="{Binding Y}" />
                </DataTemplate>
            </si:ChartControl.ItemTemplate>
        </si:ChartControl>
    </Grid>
</Window>
