Dynamic Data Display 2.0 is a set of Silverlight controls for adding interactive visualization of dynamic data to your Silverlight application. It allows to create line graphs, bubble charts, heat maps and other complex 2D plots which are very common in scientific software. Dynamic Data Display integrates well with Bing Maps control to show data on a geographic map in latitude/longitude coordinates. The controls are compatible with most popular development tools like Expression Blend and Visual Studio. They can also be operated programmatically.

Drawing with Dynamic Data Display is easy. One line of C# code to draw simple linegraph:

linegraph.Plot(x,y); // x and y are IEnumerable<double> 

And corresponding XAML snippet:

<d3:Chart BottomTitle="Argument" LeftTitle="Function">
     <d3:LineGraph x:Name="linegraph" Description="Simple linegraph" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="3"/>
</d3:Chart> 

DynamicDataDisplay sample charts:

Simple line graph	Bubble chart	Custom markers
Adding a simple graph to your program requires as little as four lines of code in total.	Marker graph is a very flexible chart type. Note that both 'colour' and 'size' properties of a marker are bound to data.	Instead of standard rectangles and circles you may use a drawing of any complexity.
Composite graph	Mapping geo-data	Heat map
This picture is a composition of 3 individual plots: a line graph, a standard marker graph that adds points on the line and a customized marker graph to draw error bars.	Lines and markers can easily be placed on a standard Bing map.	Heat maps can use any palette of user choice.
