A server side SVG chart library.

This project started as I had a requirements to generate charts in the background, which could be embedded into a PDF document. The only solutions I found relied on either a JS rendering engine or a reporting engine like Crystal or Reporting services. I wanted a solution to generate charts, which was HTML compatible without using any front-end technologies or fancy libraries.

This project uses only System.Drawing to generate a SVG output, which could be embedded into html, styled with CSS and then embedded into a PDF.

Take note that this project is a WIP and currently only line charts are supported

• add bar charts
• allow charts to have a mixture of straight line, curved line and bars
• add pie charts
• add doughnut charts
• allow changing legend position

You can generate a chart with default options using the following code :

var series = new[]
{
    new ChartSeries("Series1", new[] {10.0, 0, 20, 25, 5, 60, 30 })
};

var labels = new[] { "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven" };

var chart = new LineChart(series , labels )
{
    Height = 500,
    Width = 800,
};

var xml = chart.ToSvg();
