Creating bar and line charts is fairly well documented on the MSDN CD, but 2D XY (what I call XY scatter graphs) are not. This example demonstrates a method to not only create 2D XY graphs, but also plot multiple series on the same chart. The things that need to be done are pretty esoteric, including using multiple DataGrid columns for each series, removing null points from one or more series, etc., which makes this kind of graph very unique. This example also illustrates some other properties and methods that can be useful for other types of charts.
