WinForms Chart: Plot Curves from Data

In Winform, you can use the Chart control to plot a curve. To read the data and plot it as a curve, you can follow these steps:

1. Add the Chart control to the form. In Visual Studio, you can find the Chart control in the Toolbox and drag it onto the form.
2. Prepare the data. You can read data from a file, database, or other data source and then store it in an array or list.
3. Add data to the Chart control. You can bind data to the Chart control using the following code:

// 清空之前的数据
chart1.Series.Clear();

// 创建一个新的Series
Series series = new Series();
series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Line;

// 将数据添加到Series中
foreach (var dataPoint in dataList)
{
    series.Points.AddY(dataPoint);
}

// 将Series添加到Chart控件中
chart1.Series.Add(series);

1. The style, color, and labels of the curve can be customized as needed.
2. Finally, call the Invalidate() method of the Chart control to refresh the control and display the drawn curve.

By following the above steps, you can read data and plot a curve on the Chart control in a Winform application.
