I am writing some custom components in c#. I have to say that I have been very please at how well my python skills have transferred over. However, one of the things I am struggling with is data visualization.
I would like to create a component that generates and displays various charts, tables, and graphs (along with some svg or png files for logos) in the rhino model space. I would like this to be bake-able geometry, like the charts and graphs that come out of ladybug. However, I’m am begrudingly reazling just how big of a task that is to make something from scratch.
Does anyone know of a library that handles charts and graphs using c# for rhino?
Or does anyone know of an open source project that is displaying graphics in the rhino model space using c#? I have seen Conduit, but from what I can tell, the geometry is not bake-able and is not displayed in the model space, it’s a HUD.
I’d recommend WPF as a framework. LiveCharts is an open source visualization library.
There’s also paid visualization libraries for WPF, for example SciChart.
On the topic of not being as feature rich as python, do you know if there is a way to build a C# plug-in that compiles down to the GHA but also includes some components written in python? This could be a way to leverage the ease of use and features of python for the visuals with a primarily C# plugin.
You can check also Pterodactyl | Food4Rhino as its already using Oxyplot for data visualization with C#, it’s open source so you can also see how it’s done in Github
