Date Time Scale
This sample uses C# 13 preview features such as partial properties, it also uses features from the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm package, you can learn more about it here.
This web site wraps every sample using a ContentPage instance, but LiveCharts controls can be used inside any container.
View model
using System;
using LiveChartsCore.Defaults;
namespace ViewModelsSamples.Axes.DateTimeScaled;
public class ViewModel
{
public DateTimePoint[] Values { get; set; } = [
new() { DateTime = new(2021, 1, 1), Value = 3 },
new() { DateTime = new(2021, 1, 2), Value = 6 },
new() { DateTime = new(2021, 1, 3), Value = 5 },
new() { DateTime = new(2021, 1, 4), Value = 3 },
new() { DateTime = new(2021, 1, 5), Value = 5 },
new() { DateTime = new(2021, 1, 6), Value = 8 },
new() { DateTime = new(2021, 1, 7), Value = 6 }
];
public Func<DateTime, string> Formatter { get; set; } =
date => date.ToString("MMMM dd");
