ScottPlot 5.0.47

ScottPlot is a free and open-source plotting library for .NET that makes it easy to interactively display large datasets.

The ScottPlot Cookbook demonstrates how to create line plots, bar charts, pie graphs, scatter plots, and more with just a few lines of code.

Quickstart

double[] dataX = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
double[] dataY = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 };

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();
myPlot.Add.Scatter(dataX, dataY);
myPlot.SavePng("quickstart.png", 400, 300);

Windows Forms Quickstart

Install the ScottPlot.WinForms NuGet package, drop a FormsPlot from the toolbox onto your form, then add the following to your start-up sequence:

double[] dataX = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
double[] dataY = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 };

formsPlot1.Plot.Add.Scatter(dataX, dataY);
formsPlot1.Refresh();
