WPF Histogram Chart - High Performance Chart

Overview

The WPF Histogram Chart plots the distribution of numerical data. Typically, this is by plotting count of objects that fall within certain data ranges. The most common data representation is bars, as a bar can represent the count with its height, and the data range with its position and width.

    {
        public double Price { get; set; }

        public double Value { get; set; }

    }

public class ViewModel
{
    public ObservableCollection<HistogramChartModel> Product { get; set; }

    public ViewModel()
    {
         this.Product = new ObservableCollection<HistogramChartModel>();

            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 1});
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 11 });
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 12});
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 21 });
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 22});
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 23});
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 27 });
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 33 });
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 35 });
            Product.Add(new HistogramChartModel() { Price = 43 });
    }
