Practical C# Charts and Graphics

This is, by far, the best C# graphics book I've read, and in this case, really used. Working code is the basis of the book, and this code is accompanied by excellent explanations. All the code in the book is available online. I'm using the book in graphics projects both at work and at school, and I'm delighted to see well-explained working code rather than rehashes of Help. It is rare to find such a practical, useful book. Many thanks to Dr. Xu.

This is a great book to have if you want to add charts and graphics to your C# applications.I also bought Practical Numerical Methods with C# and this one also suffers from the fact it has typos. This book even has omissions in the code text. Where is the proofreader!!! But I can live with it, if you know what you are doing you can easily add the few lines that are missing, and I could very easily change the heavy use of properties in the code into the new automatic property syntax.

If you learn well by example, then this book is for you. The book is organized around code examples and well thought out explanations. The down loadable example library is a great resource, with fully working charts and graphs that you can plug into the application. Jack Xu is a great author and stands behind his book; I had a few questions and he was happy to clarify by e-mail. Highly recommended

The title says it all: this book is about teaching you how to do charting in C# and it does it very well. From 2D to 3D, most typical charts are covered. The math transforms and data-structures are gradually introduced to give you a fully working charting library that you'll know in and out. Very valuable.Note: I initially had trouble finding the code for download. An email to the author quickly resolved the issue. Thanks for the support.

I have only had a chance to glance through the book, but the projects and code look fantastic and the writing very clear and concise. The online link in the book to UniCAD publishing is not active on June 30, 2009. However, the code can be downloaded from Dr. Xu's web site at [...]

I find this book is fantastic. It contains a lot of information not found elsewhere. The graph control is a great help in developing graph related software. The control is easy to use and provides great graphs with details for the axis controls, labels etc. The author was very helpful in solving a problem I had.Stan

UPDATE 4/16/13: Here is a very important point. This Book deals only with STATIC CHARTS. NO REAL TIME!!! Cannot move points in real time or with mouse movements etc. There is a use of Graphics and the OnPaint method is overridden which means you call invalidate() every time you need to reposition a point already plotted.

A time saver. I used it in my C# software application.

excellent book so far just what ive been looking for
