I am currently building an application using WPF in the .NET framework. The application will involve graphing data. Are there any good open-source graphing libraries or packages out there I can use for my application? When I say graph, I mean something that looks like:
-
What specific graph types (e.g. pie charts) do you need? Anything concerning the amount of data they must be capable to process? Output file types?– Izzy ♦Jul 29, 2016 at 15:29

Nah nothing like that yet, don't have a set of requirements in front of me yet. Just brainstorming for now.– SnoopJul 29, 2016 at 15:38

2Well, this is no brainstorming site :) To give recommendations, we need specific requirements. Please see What is required for a question to contain "enough information"? Without specific requirements, questions tend to get closed pretty soon as either "too broad" or "unclear what you're asking". You should have a rough idea on the amount of data already. So make this one specific for that amount, decide on "at least <chart types>", and decide on graphic formats (jpg/png or rather vector formats like svg). If needed, ask a new Q later.– Izzy ♦Jul 29, 2016 at 15:44

Essential Chart for WPF is an option to consider.
The whole product is available for free through the community license if you qualify (less than 1 million USD in revenue), but not open source.
Note: I work for Syncfusion.
