Getting Started with SharpPlot
SharpPlot offers a comprehensive range of Properties and Methods for constructing business and scientific charts from arrays of data. The design allows the programmer to create effective graphics with the bare minimum of coding:

SharpPlot sp = new SharpPlot(360,240);
data = new int[] {18,27,31,12,19,23};
sp.DrawBarChart(data);
Bitmap bmp = sp.RenderBitmap(96);
The first section of this User Guide covers installation, and the steps required to create a simple business chart. It includes the C# source for a simple command-line program to draw a barchart similar to the one shown above.
