SimpleXarts

SimpleXarts is a live update Xamarin.Forms charting library, designed to be used with MVVM.

Getting started

Install

Not yet on NuGet, because the structure of the charts is still subject to change, to support a wider range of platforms.

Its not recommended to be used in its current state.

Display a chart

1) Create the data to bind to a chart.

public ObservableCollection<Figure> Data { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<Figure>()
{
    new Figure(20)
    {
        Describtion = "Fruit",
        Color = Xamarin.Forms.Color.FromRgb(240, 125, 100)
    },
    new Figure(5)
    {
        Describtion = "Fish",
        Color = Xamarin.Forms.Color.FromRgb(100, 188, 194)
    },
    new Figure(12)
    {
        Describtion = "Sweets",
        Color = Xamarin.Forms.Color.FromRgb(242, 194, 84)
    },
    new Figure(20)
    {
        Describtion = "Vegetable",
        Color = Xamarin.Forms.Color.FromRgb(142, 215, 131)
    }
};

//change the value of an existing Figure
Data[0].Value = 30;

//add a new Figure to the chart
Data.Add(
    new Figure(20)
    {
        Describtion = "Spices",
        Color = Color.FromRgb(183, 93, 174)
