Right way to add data to a scatter plot?

[wekelly]

I found examples that showed using chart1.Data[0,0] = 3.14 as a way to populate data for an XY scatter plot. But this requires adding data points one at a time.

Is there a way to populate a scatter chart using SeriesAttributes.ItemSource?

My thoughts were perhaps binding to List<double[]> where double[0] is the X value and double[1] is the Y value.

I also considered binding to List<MyValues> where MyValues has properties X and Y.

I cannot seem to find the right way to do this. Any suggestions?

Figured it out. Here is what I was missing:

1. SeriesAttributes has both a BindingPath and BindingPathX.

2. I had Visibility.Collapsed my markers for my Line plot. When I switched my chart from a Line plot to a Scatter plot, nothing was displaying because my markers were still Visibility.Collapsed.

Another thing I learned that maybe helpful to developers... you don't have to use a Scatter plot to use X-Y data. The Line plot can also plot X-Y data.
