ProEssentials.Chart.Net.Wpf 10.0.0.22

ProEssentials v10 — The Fastest WPF Charting Library for .NET Framework 4.8

GPU compute shader accelerated. 100 million data points. Zero memory copy. No subscription. No activation server.

ProEssentials is the world's fastest WPF charting library for scientific, engineering, financial, and industrial data visualization. Built on a native Win32 Direct3D engine with a dedicated WPF control layer — not a wrapper, not a web view, not a game engine. Five chart objects cover every scenario from simple bar charts to 3D surfaces with 4D color mapping, all from a single 5–8 MB deployment.

This is the AnyCPU WPF .NET Framework 4.8 package — for WPF applications requiring both 32-bit and 64-bit compatibility on .NET Framework 4.8. For modern 64-bit development, consider ProEssentials.Chart.Net.x64.Wpf or the .NET 8+ packages.

Choosing the Right WPF Package

Search NuGet for "ProEssentials" to find WinForms variants.

Quick Start — WPF Chart on Screen in 60 Seconds

1. Install via NuGet Package Manager or CLI:

dotnet add package ProEssentials.Chart.Net.Wpf

2. Add the namespace to your MainWindow.xaml:

xmlns:pe="clr-namespace:Gigasoft.ProEssentials;assembly=Gigasoft.ProEssentialsWpf"

3. Drop a PegoWpf control into your XAML Grid:

<pe:PegoWpf x:Name="Pego1" Loaded="Pego1_Loaded" />

4. Paste into your Pego1_Loaded event handler:

using Gigasoft.ProEssentials.Enums;

// Minimal bar chart — 2 series, 6 points
Pego1.PeString.MainTitle = "ProEssentials WPF Quick Start";
Pego1.PeString.SubTitle  = "";
Pego1.PeData.Subsets = 2;
Pego1.PeData.Points  = 6;

Pego1.PeData.Y[0, 0] = 10; Pego1.PeData.Y[0, 1] = 30;
Pego1.PeData.Y[0, 2] = 20; Pego1.PeData.Y[0, 3] = 40;
Pego1.PeData.Y[0, 4] = 30; Pego1.PeData.Y[0, 5] = 50;
Pego1.PeData.Y[1, 0] = 15; Pego1.PeData.Y[1, 1] = 63;
Pego1.PeData.Y[1, 2] = 74; Pego1.PeData.Y[1, 3] = 54;
Pego1.PeData.Y[1, 4] = 25; Pego1.PeData.Y[1, 5] = 34;

Pego1.PeString.PointLabels[0] = "Jan";
Pego1.PeString.PointLabels[1] = "Feb";
Pego1.PeString.PointLabels[2] = "Mar";
Pego1.PeString.PointLabels[3] = "Apr";
Pego1.PeString.PointLabels[4] = "May";
Pego1.PeString.PointLabels[5] = "Jun";

Pego1.PeString.SubsetLabels[0] = "Series A";
Pego1.PeString.SubsetLabels[1] = "Series B";

Pego1.PePlot.Method                 = GraphPlottingMethod.Bar;
Pego1.PePlot.Option.GradientBars    = 8;
Pego1.PeConfigure.RenderEngine      = RenderEngine.Direct2D;
Pego1.PeConfigure.AntiAliasGraphics = true;
Pego1.PeConfigure.AntiAliasText     = true;
Pego1.PeConfigure.CacheBmp          = true;
Pego1.PeFunction.ReinitializeResetImage();

5. Build and run. Right-click the chart to explore the full built-in interactive UI — zoom, export, print, customize.

Important: Always initialize ProEssentials in the control's Loaded event, not the window's Loaded event. The window fires before the control is fully initialized.

Why ProEssentials is the Fastest WPF Chart

GPU Compute Shader Architecture

ProEssentials v10 uses DirectX compute shaders for scene construction — the GPU activates only when data changes, keeping CPU and power usage minimal between updates.

• GPU compute shader render time: ~15ms
• End-to-end frame rate including 100M point data transfer: ~17 FPS on a modern workstation with dedicated GPU
• No resampling, no data reduction, no lossy downsampling — your data hits the screen exactly as it exists in memory

Enable GPU compute shaders with three lines:

Pesgo1.PeData.ComputeShader  = true;  // GPU-side scene construction
Pesgo1.PeData.StagingBufferY = true;  // required for ComputeShader
Pesgo1.PeData.StagingBufferX = true;  // required for ComputeShader

Zero Memory Copy — UseDataAtLocation

The chart reads your existing float[] array in place — no internal copy, no float-to-double conversion, no object-per-point allocation:

// Chart uses your app memory directly — no data transfer overhead
Pesgo1.PeData.X.UseDataAtLocation(myXData, pointCount);
Pesgo1.PeData.Y.UseDataAtLocation(myYData, totalPoints);

Five Chart Objects, Every Chart Type

All five share the same hierarchical property interface:

Pesgo1.PeData.___        // data arrays and counts
Pesgo1.PePlot.___        // plotting method and visual options
Pesgo1.PeGrid.___        // axis scales and zoom
Pesgo1.PeColor.___       // colors for all elements
Pesgo1.PeString.___      // labels and titles
Pesgo1.PeConfigure.___   // rendering engine and misc
Pesgo1.PeFunction.___    // reinitialize, print, export, zoom

1,200+ properties. 60+ functions. 167 enumerations.

Advanced Tip: Manual Assembly Reference

For teams that prefer direct control over dependencies in large solutions or CI pipelines, you can reference the ProEssentials assembly manually via <Reference> with <HintPath> in your .csproj. Download the full evaluation to get the DLLs locally. This is entirely optional — the NuGet package works normally with Visual Studio's package management.
