SciChart WPF v6.4 is Released

We are pleased to announce that the SciChart WPF v6.4 build 13629 has now been released! This update includes new features, a number of bug fixes, and minor enhancements requested by users since version 6.3.0.13476. This release is a drop-in replacement for 6.3.0.13476 and it is recommended for all users to update.

What's new in SciChart WPF 6.4

Enabled UseAlternativeFillSource by default

We decided to enable this option by default due to various stability issues when using the default D3DImage method in WPF. This was leading to some crashes of software running SciChart on some machines.

// New Features & Examples

1) 3D light modes: This feature introduces dynamic scene lighting to SciChart 3D.
It allows users to control the light direction in 3D charts! 

•  Multiple Axis Markers for the SeriesValueModifier on a composite renderable series: This feature allows adding multiple axis markers for the SeriesValueModifier on composite renderable series. 

3) Off-Screen Export Example: Questions around the export feature are often on our support desk and forum, so we created an example that shows how to export just one chart as it is, you can also export multiple charts with different colors for lines and background or line thickness, finally export with cloning allows exporting an image with a different size.
