Live-Charts在WPF中的使用

Live-Charts在WPF中的使用

一、简介

官方地址：Live-Charts (github.com)。Live Charts (lvcharts.net)。

这里说一下高性能的LiveCharts.Geared，这个支持大数据量，最多到百万级别，听说不是免费的，但是我在NuGet中安装了可以使用，不知道后面会不会过期。但是可以从其他途径弄到破解版的，只需要替换dll即可。推荐大家直接学习使用LiveCharts.Geared。

这是作者NuGet包的路径，我们将破解版的dll替换lib文件夹中的就可以。

二、简单使用

需要引入命名空间:

    xmlns:geared="clr-namespace:LiveCharts.Geared;assembly=LiveCharts.Geared"
    xmlns:lvc="clr-namespace:LiveCharts.Wpf;assembly=LiveCharts.Wpf"

创建控件：

                <!--Here we disable tooltips and hovering to get a better performance-->
                <lvc:CartesianChart
                    AnimationsSpeed="0:0:0.5"
                    DataTooltip="{x:Null}"
                    DisableAnimations="True"
                    Hoverable="False">
                    <lvc:CartesianChart.Series>
                        <geared:GLineSeries
                            Fill="Transparent"
                            LineSmoothness="1"
                            PointGeometry="{x:Null}"
                            Stroke="#F34336"
                            StrokeThickness="6"
                            Values="{Binding ChartValues}" />
                    </lvc:CartesianChart.Series>
                    <lvc:CartesianChart.AxisX>
                        <lvc:Axis
                            LabelFormatter="{Binding DateTimeFormatter}"
                            MaxValue="{Binding AxisMax}"
                            MinValue="{Binding AxisMin}"
                            Unit="{Binding AxisUnit}">
                            <lvc:Axis.Separator>
                                <lvc:Separator Step="{Binding AxisStep}" />
                            </lvc:Axis.Separator>
                        </lvc:Axis>
                    </lvc:CartesianChart.AxisX>
                </lvc:CartesianChart>

在VM中定义了如下的属性：

         private double _trend;
        private double _axisMax;
        private double _axisMin;
        public double AxisMax
        {
            get { return _axisMax; }
            set
            {
                _axisMax = value;RaisePropertyChanged();
            }
        }
        public double AxisMin
        {
            get { return _axisMin; }
            set
            {
                _axisMin = value;RaisePropertyChanged();
            }
        }

        public GearedValues<MeasureModel> ChartValues { get; set; }
        public Func<double, string> DateTimeFormatter { get; set; }

        public double AxisStep { get; set; }
        public double AxisUnit { get; set; }

业务逻辑如下：

var mapper = Mappers.Xy<MeasureModel>()
                .X(model => model.DateTime.Ticks)   //use DateTime.Ticks as X
                .Y(model => model.Value);           //use the value property as Y

            //lets save the mapper globally.
            Charting.For<MeasureModel>(mapper);

            //the values property will store our values array
            ChartValues = new GearedValues<MeasureModel>();
            ChartValues.WithQuality(Quality.Low);

            //lets set how to display the X Labels
            DateTimeFormatter = value => new DateTime((long)value).ToString("mm:ss");

            //AxisStep forces the distance between each separator in the X axis
            AxisStep = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1).Ticks;
            //AxisUnit forces lets the axis know that we are plotting seconds
            //this is not always necessary, but it can prevent wrong labeling
            AxisUnit = TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond;

            SetAxisLimits(DateTime.Now);

            Task.Run(() =>
            {
                var r = new Random();
                while (true)
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(150);
                    var now = DateTime.Now;

                    _trend += r.Next(-8, 10);

                    ChartValues.Add(new MeasureModel
                    {
                        DateTime = now,
                        Value = _trend
                    });

                    SetAxisLimits(now);

                    //lets only use the last 150 values
                    if (ChartValues.Count > 150) ChartValues.RemoveAt(0);
                }
            });

        private void SetAxisLimits(DateTime now)
        {
            AxisMax = now.Ticks + TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1).Ticks; // lets force the axis to be 1 second ahead
            AxisMin = now.Ticks - TimeSpan.FromSeconds(8).Ticks; // and 8 seconds behind
        }

我们往集合中添加数据，在view中就会自动更新，一个动态更新的线图就简单完成了。更多复杂的功能可以参考链接中的教程。
