2 mins read

This article explains how to create a pie chart example in C# WPF through a step-by-step process.

The User Guide Documentation can help you acquire more knowledge about WPF Chart and their features. You can also refer to the Feature Tour site to get an overview of all the features available in the chart. The assemblies required for creating the chart are detailed in this documentation.

Step 1: Create a DataModel for the PieSeries.

public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public double Weight { get; set; }
}

Step 2: Create a ViewModel Class

Initialize data points for the series with a DataModel collection.

public class ViewModel
{
    public List<Person> Data { get; set; }
 
    public ViewModel()
    {
        Data = new List<Person>()
        {
            new Person { Name = "David", Weight = 45 },
            new Person { Name = "Michael", Weight = 50 },
            new Person { Name = "Steve", Weight = 79 },
            new Person { Name = "Joel", Weight = 65 },
            new Person { Name = "Sam", Weight = 54 },
            new Person { Name = "Smith", Weight = 60 }
        };
    }
}

Step 3: Initialize the Chart

Add a title to the chart using the Header property and set the DataContext for the chart as ViewModel.

SfChart chart = new SfChart();
chart.DataContext = new ViewModel();
chart.Header = "Weight Report";
chart.Legend = new ChartLegend();

Step 4: Define the PieSeries and add it to the chart.

PieSeries series = new PieSeries();
series.XBindingPath = "Name";
series.YBindingPath = "Weight";
series.ItemsSource = viewModel.Data;
chart.Series.Add(series);

Below is the consolidated configuration of all the above code.

SfChart chart = new SfChart();            
ViewModel viewModel = new ViewModel();
chart.DataContext = viewModel;
chart.Header = "Weight Report";
chart.Legend = new ChartLegend();
 
// Defining the PieSeries with adornments.
PieSeries series = new PieSeries();
series.XBindingPath = "Name";
series.YBindingPath = "Weight";
series.ItemsSource = viewModel.Data;
series.AdornmentsInfo = new ChartAdornmentInfo() 
{
    ShowLabel = true 
};
chart.Series.Add(series);
