ScottPlot Documentation

To use ScottPlot in a Windows Forms application:

1. Install the ScottPlot.WinForms NuGet package.
2. Drag a FormsPlot control from the Toolbox onto your Form.
3. Access the Plot property of the control to add data, then call Refresh() to update the display.

double[] dataX = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
double[] dataY = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 };

formsPlot1.Plot.Add.Scatter(dataX, dataY);
formsPlot1.Refresh();

To create a basic plot and save it as an image file, instantiate a ScottPlot.Plot object, add data using methods like Add.Scatter, and use SavePng to export the result.

double[] dataX = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
double[] dataY = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 };

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();
myPlot.Add.Scatter(dataX, dataY);
myPlot.SavePng("quickstart.png", 400, 300);

In .NET 10 MAUI, the Application.MainPage property is obsolete. To initialize your application's root page, you should override the CreateWindow method instead of using the MainPage setter.

Old Pattern (Obsolete):

MainPage = new AppShell();

New Pattern (.NET 10):

protected override Window CreateWindow(IActivationState activationState)
{
    return new Window(new AppShell());
}
