SharpPlot.RenderXaml Method

This method returns the chart expressed as a XAML Canvas, with optional scaling. The default scale converts points to pixels at 96/72 and will produce the same size image as the chart rendered to SVG. The chart can be viewed on the web in most common browsers with the SilverLight plugin.

Example

string xaml = sp.RenderXaml(1.5);    // Save as bare Canvas slightly scaled up

Overloads

• public string RenderXaml();
• public string RenderXaml(double scale);
• public string RenderXaml(double scale,string headerText);

Description

To make use of this format on the internet, you will need the SilverLight plugin from Microsoft, and an appropriate ‘wrapper’ HTML page to load the plugin and render the XAML content.

Your page should reference the silverlight.js file supplied with the plugin, and also the silverplot.js file supplied with SharpPlot which adds support for hints, tips and hyperlinks to your charts.
