Such charts can have wide applications in representing mathematical, physical, and economic functions in your daily life. Whether you are an engineer, a quantitative analyst, a teacher, or a student, you will end up dealing with charting applications to some degree. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a next-generation graphics platform that enables you to build advanced user interfaces incorporating documents, media, 2D and 3D graphics, and animations. It is an ideal development tool that allows you to not only generate data, but also easily represent data graphically. Practical WPF Charts and Graphics provides all the tools you will need to develop professional chart and graphics applications in WPF and C#. This book will be useful for WPF and C# programmers of all skill levels, providing a complete and comprehensive explanation of WPF's graphics capability and the creation of various charts, and paying special attention to the details of code implementation. Review: The Sun source for WPF graphics - As a professional programmer I don't have a lot of time to waste learning all the details to master a new programming area. I had to buy five books on database programming to get one decent database working for my clients. With WPF I have found there are just three books to buy to master its intricacies. Get "Windows Presentation Foundation", "Pro WPF", and Dr. Wu's "Practical WPF Charts and Graphics". The other books are helpful, but not really necessary. This book gets right down to the etails of mastering chart graphics. Within a few chapters, specialized charts are covered. Dr. Xu shows how to do almost every form of scientific and financial charting I have ever encountered. Although the code is designed to show off the approach to building a single chart application, the data series and configuration style objects introduced by the book can be easily altered to build multiple chart conglomerations for stock charts with indicators or scientific multiple view sets with minimal work. I found that the XAML code needed to be tweaked to insure that it coupled multiple canvas areas to the correct code operations, but there are always going to be small glitches when code examples are expanded for professional needs. The code examples are introduced in a simple to complex sequence that allows the reader to get easily accustomed to the support objects and to understand how chart styles need to be adapted to each type of chart. I figure that this one book has saved me at least a hundred hours of exploring failed approaches to WPF charting. I have two other books by this author and I knew that this one would display the same efficiency of introduction and clarity of organization as before. I was thoroughly satisfied with his latest approach to explaining WPF charts. I have now moved on to combining several simultanous charts with chart interaction. By the way, previous to applying Dr. Xu's writings, I was looking at paying up to $2000 for the code behind the EzyStockCharts library to solve my charting needs and I would have been forced to build a C++ wrapper around the code to use it in a .NET environment. That would have been very time consuming and I would only have found a two dimensional solution for all my time and cost. The source code for all the C# examples in the book and a few more is currently available and easily downloadable from the internet. The download also includes the binaries to run each project and allows you to quickly discover exactly how each sample behaves in the real world of your computer. If you are serious about investing in your software career, or in avoiding a costly project failure, this book will give your knowledge base a definite competitive edge. I'm looking forward to applying the information that I encountered in this book to the display of large database patterns as well as my stock chart displays. I hope you see the advantage of becoming an instant charting expert by reading this book. Review: A great jump-start - I purchased this book mainly for creating line charts. I had some very specific requirements and I couldn't find a third-party control (open source or commercial) that met every requirement. Dr. Xu's book was recommended so I purchased it from desertcart and I haven't regretted that purchase. This book was a fabulous jump-start. I was able to quickly produce a control that supported a lot of the features that were requested. After a little extension and refactoring, I've been able to meet every requirement. I was surprised to find logarithmic axes not covered in the book. Extending the code to use logarithmic and mixed linear/logarithmic axes was straight forward. The way the material is presented was essential for grasping the basics needed in order to make that and other extensions. Dr. Xu began with a very simple chart and extended it, building upon a simple foundation. Each new feature was added until we've constructed a stand-alone chart with decent capabilities. After we have a stand-alone chart, we learned how to take that chart and create a reusable control. Precisely what I needed. The lack of logarithmic axes, non-interactive legends, and other minor quibbles reduced my rating from five to four stars. These and other enhancements were easy enough to add, thanks in part to Dr. Xu's presentation and WPF. I would recommend this book to anyone considering writing or purchasing a chart in WPF. It has been a great resource and it will stay on my shelf for some time to come. Good job Dr. Xu! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,949,233 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #386 in Microsoft C & C++ Windows Programming #506 in Microsoft .NET #575 in C# Programming (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 21 Reviews | ## Images ![Practical WPF Charts and Graphics (Expert's Voice in .NET) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aY3qKQtNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Sun source for WPF graphics *by R***K on December 22, 2009* As a professional programmer I don't have a lot of time to waste learning all the details to master a new programming area.
