which is best tool for ploting graph using C#. i tried using zedgraph tool with the help of timer tick but it is not updating
graph as per value.
it updates only when i scroll up or down then only it get updates.
actually i want to plot graph of real time means it get updates as the value get updates.

I remember ads on tv for ms office. They claimed something about live charts or some such. Might be worth a look for you.

 

Did you invalidate the control that the graph is drawn on?

Why not graph the data yourself?

 

Why not use the MS chart control component that's available in VS?

i don't want to make chart i want to plot data coming from serial interface like real time plot. is it possible with this.

 

like oscillosope

 

Like tshuck says, why not draw the graph yourself? It's just a few lines and some scaling, you get a lighter weight component and much more control over it. Google "c# draw line".

Yes, you can do that using the chart control - you'd have to modify the collection of points in a series on the chart each time you get data (not hard).

On the serial interface, register for the data received event and use that data to add the X and Y points for the series, then, you may need to invalidate the chart control.

As an example, maybe something like:

 public serialPort1_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
    int data = serialPort1.ReadByte();
    // data received
    chart1.Series["serial data"].Points.AddXY
                        (DateTime.UtcNow, data);

    //chart1.Invalidate();
}

You'll probably have to create the "serial data" series in the chart before this event gets called...



...or, you could draw it yourself, which, if you don't understand the above, would probably be faster...

 

any one use zedgraph. bcoz after search and suggestion i saw zedgraph is having good GUI.
