1	# DevExpress WPF Chart Control
2
3	`DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.ChartControl` is the 2D charting control for WPF applications. A chart is composed of a Diagram (which determines the coordinate system — Cartesian, polar, radar, simple), one or more Series (the actual data plots: bar, line, area, pie, financial, etc.), Axes for Cartesian-like diagrams, plus optional Title, Legend, Annotations, Tooltip, and Crosshair Cursor. Series bind to data through `DataSource` + `ArgumentDataMember` / `ValueDataMember`, with automatic scale-type detection and built-in aggregation.
4
5	> 3D charting uses a separate control (`Chart3DControl`) and is rarely needed. This skill covers `ChartControl` (2D).
6
7	## When to Use This Skill
8
9	Use this skill when you need to:
10
11	- Add a chart to a WPF window
12	- Bind a chart to an `IEnumerable` / `ObservableCollection` / `DataTable`
13	- Pick a series type (bar, line, area, pie, financial, point, bubble, polar, radar, funnel, box plot)
14	- Configure primary or secondary axes
15	- Pick an axis scale type (Numerical, DateTime, TimeSpan, Qualitative)
16	- Add axis titles, custom labels, format label text via patterns
17	- Aggregate data for performance or readability
18	- Add a legend, format legend items, enable check boxes for series visibility
19	- Show tooltips and the crosshair cursor; format their content
20	- Enable end-user selection (Single, Multiple, or Extended)

24	### NuGet Packages
25
26	\| Package \| Purpose \|
27	\|---------\|---------\|
28	\| `DevExpress.Wpf.Charts` \| Main package — `ChartControl`, all 2D series, diagrams, axes \|
29	\| `DevExpress.Wpf.Printing` \| Required for `ChartControl.PrintPreview()` and export \|

31	All DevExpress packages in a project must share the same version.

34
35	```bash
36	dotnet add package DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

58	## Before You Start — Ask the Developer
59
60	If the host agent has a structured question-asking tool available, use it to ask these questions one at a time with clear options — for example, Claude Code's `AskUserQuestion` tool or GitHub Copilot's `askQuestions` tool. If no such tool is available, ask the questions directly in the chat response before generating code.

67	- Stock data (OHLC) → candlestick / stock
68	3. Data source: `List<T>`, `ObservableCollection<T>`, `DataTable`, EF, or static XAML data?
69	4. Axes: One value axis (most cases) or also a secondary y-axis (two series with very different ranges)?
70	5. Scale types: Are arguments numeric, date-time, time-span, or category strings? See [axes.md](references/axes.md).
71	6. Aggregation: Is the data large enough that you need to bucket / average it? See [data-aggregation.md](references/data-aggregation.md).
