Using SkiaSharp for making graphs in WPF

[Abhishek Mohata]

Hi,

I have been trying to use SkiaSharp to make charts/graphs in WPF. Havent been able to find a proper sample implementation of Skia in WPF. Some of the available samples in GitHub seem to be complicated compared to other platforms. Can someone share with a sample simple implementation of Skia (using a canvas etc to draw something on the screen) in a WPF project ?

Also, can skia be used for ASP.NET Core application ? Can someone help in the same too ?

Thanks in advance !

Regards,

Abhishek

You should be able to install the  https://www.nuget.org/packages/SkiaSharp.Views.WPF  NuGet package.

I also know bout this library: https://github.com/dotnet-ad/Microcharts It does charts for a few platforms, and adding a WPF backend is also very easy since it just uses the skia canvas. 

I also have a basic WPF sample here: https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/tree/master/samples/Basic/WPF

All you need is a new WPF app, and then install SkiaSharp.Views.WPF. Once you have that, just add a SKElement to the UI from the toolbox and handle the PaintSurface event. That will give you a ready-made surface, canvas and all the other things you need.
