This example showcases how to build an interactive Scatter Chart visualization using Syncfusion WinUI controls to explore the relationship between a country’s GDP spent on education and the share of government spending allocated to education. By integrating real-time filtering through a year-based slider, the chart enables users to examine trends across regions and time, helping uncover patterns, priorities, and disparities in education investment.

Key Features

1. Interactive Scatter Chart:

2. Year-Based Filtering:

A Syncfusion WinUI Slider allows users to select a year (2000–2024). Chart updates dynamically to reflect selected year’s data.

3. Custom Styling:

Styled axes with percentage labels and grid lines. Tooltip shows country name, GDP share, and government spending share. Legend with region-based color coding and icons.
