C# chart控件实时动态显示数据

这里介绍了一个最简单的实时显示数据的完整示例，

本文参考了 使用MSChart实时动态显示折线图 ，谢谢原作者的分享。

平台：VS2013，C#windows程序。

1、首先，将chart控件添加到窗口。

2、设置chart - series 主要t属性：

2.1 IsXValueIndexed = true;

2.2 XValueType = Time;

3、编写初始化函数：

private void InitChart()
        {
            DateTime time = DateTime.Now;
            chartTimer.Interval = 1000;
            chartTimer.Tick += chartTimer_Tick;
            chartDemo.DoubleClick += chartDemo_DoubleClick;

            Series series = chartDemo.Series[0];
            series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Spline;

            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Format = "HH:mm:ss";
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScaleView.Size = 5;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.IsPositionedInside = true;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.Enabled = true;

            chartTimer.Start();

        }

4、编写timer事件：

void chartTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Random ra = new Random();
            Series series = chartDemo.Series[0];
            series.Points.AddXY(DateTime.Now, ra.Next(1, 10));
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScaleView.Position = series.Points.Count - 5;
            //throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

5、编写chart双击事件。（因为滑动条可以隐藏，隐藏之后不知道怎么恢复，所以就编写了这个双击事件，以恢复滑动条）

void chartDemo_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScaleView.Size = 5;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.IsPositionedInside = true;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.Enabled = true;
            //throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

6、完整代码如下：

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting; //需要添加的命名空间

namespace ChartRealTimeShow
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            InitChart();
        }

        System.Windows.Forms.Timer chartTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

        private void InitChart()
        {
            DateTime time = DateTime.Now;
            chartTimer.Interval = 1000;
            chartTimer.Tick += chartTimer_Tick;
            chartDemo.DoubleClick += chartDemo_DoubleClick;

            Series series = chartDemo.Series[0];
            series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Spline;

            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Format = "HH:mm:ss";
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScaleView.Size = 5;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.IsPositionedInside = true;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.Enabled = true;

            chartTimer.Start();

        }

        void chartDemo_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScaleView.Size = 5;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.IsPositionedInside = true;
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScrollBar.Enabled = true;
            //throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        void chartTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Random ra = new Random();
            Series series = chartDemo.Series[0];
            series.Points.AddXY(DateTime.Now, ra.Next(1, 10));
            chartDemo.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.ScaleView.Position = series.Points.Count - 5;
            //throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

    }
}
