How to draw candle charts in C#
I've used the MSChart and found it to be pretty good. It supports candlestick charts. I've used ZedGraph as well but found a few graphical anomalies showed up on my charts but they were otherwise good as well.
I use this for stock data but its in VB
With Chart1.ChartAreas("myarea")
.AxisY.Maximum = (Math.Ceiling((HighValue * 100)) / 100)
.AxisY.Minimum = (Math.Floor((LowValue * 100)) / 100)
.AxisY.LabelStyle.Format = "{0.00}"
End With
Dim s1 As New Series
With s1
.ChartArea = "myarea"
.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Candlestick
.XValueType = ChartValueType.String
.YValueType = ChartValueType.Single
.YValuesPerPoint = 4
.CustomProperties = "PriceDownColor=Red, PriceUpColor=Green"
End With
For i = Globals.GraphColumns - 1 To 0 Step -1
OutData = Data_Array.Item(i)
s1.Points.AddXY(OutData.thedate, OutData.high, OutData.low, OutData.close, OutData.open)
Next
Chart1.Series.Add(s1)
Me.Controls.Add(Chart1)
