Custom S V G Scatter Points

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 UserControl instance, but LiveCharts controls can be used inside any container.

View model

using System;
using LiveChartsCore.Defaults;
using LiveChartsCore.Drawing;

namespace ViewModelsSamples.Scatter.Custom;

public class ViewModel
{
    private static readonly Random s_r = new();
    public ObservablePoint[] Values1 { get; set; } = Fetch();
    public ObservablePoint[] Values2 { get; set; } = Fetch();
    public ObservablePoint[] Values3 { get; set; } = Fetch();
    public string PinPath { get; } = SVGPoints.Pin;

    private static ObservablePoint[] Fetch()
    {
        var length = 10;
        var values = new ObservablePoint[length];

        for (var i = 0; i < length; i++)
        {
            var x = s_r.Next(0, 20);
            var y = s_r.Next(0, 20);
            values[i] = new ObservablePoint(x, y);
        }

        return values;
    }

MyGeometry.cs

        while (y < Y + Height)
        {
            canvas.DrawLine(X, y, X + Width, y, paint);
            y += 10;
