VisiFire: Open Source Graph designer for WPF and Silverlight

I once was designing a program to draw charts in my WPF applications. I finally managed to build a Canvas in which I drawed all my coordinates to finally render a line graph. But to completely build that Canvas and made it auto-scale to my available space, it costed me days to build that. But those are over, thanks to Visifire.

Visifire is a set of open source data visualization components - powered by Microsoft Silverlight and WPF. Visifire is a multi-targeting control which can be used in both WPF & Silverlight applications. Using the same API, charts in both Silverlight & WPF environments can be created within minutes
