This issue recommends LiveCharts2, a simple, flexible, interactive, and powerful chart library for.NET.

LiveCharts2 (v2) is an evolution of LiveCharts (v0) that fixes the major design issues of its predecessor with a greater focus on running anywhere, increasing flexibility without losing functionality already available in v0. LiveCharts2 runs on WPF, WinForms, Xamarin, Avalonia, WinUI, UWP, Blazor-wasm, and MAUI.

Installation use

In Visual Studio, Solution Explorer then right click Dependencies then Manage NuGet Packages, enable the “Include pre-release” check box, Then search the view of the target platform in the Browse TAB:

• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WPF
• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WinForms
• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Avalonia
• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.XamarinForms
• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.UWP
• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WinUI
• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Blazor
• LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Maui

LiveCharts2 can also be used in a console application or on the server side where only the core package is installed and ISkiaSharpChart objects are used, reference code:

using System.Windows.Controls;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.SKCharts;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WPF;

namespace WPFSample.General.ChartToImage;

/// < summary> 
/// Interaction logic for View.xaml
/// < /summary> 
public partial class View : UserControl
{
    public View()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // Load view 
        // Render image 
        Loaded += View_Loaded;
    }

    private void View_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        CreateImageFromCartesianControl();
        CreateImageFromPieControl();
        CreateImageFromGeoControl();
    }

    private void CreateImageFromCartesianControl()
    {
        //You can take any chart in the UI and build an image from it 
        var chartControl = (CartesianChart)FindName("cartesianChart");
        var skChart = new SKCartesianChart(chartControl) { Width = 900, Height = 600, };
        skChart.SaveImage("CartesianImageFromControl.png");
    }

    private void CreateImageFromPieControl()
    {
        var chartControl = (PieChart)FindName("pieChart");
        var skChart = new SKPieChart(chartControl) { Width = 900, Height = 600, };
        skChart.SaveImage("PieImageFromControl.png");
    }

    private void CreateImageFromGeoControl()
    {
        var chartControl = (GeoMap)FindName("geoChart");
        var skChart = new SKGeoMap(chartControl) { Width = 900, Height = 600, };
        skChart.SaveImage("MapImageFromControl.png");
    }
}
