## What it is
LiveCharts is a data visualization library for .NET providing animated, interactive charts, maps, and gauges across many .NET UI frameworks. The original Live-Charts repo is superseded by LiveCharts2, which supports MAUI, Uno Platform, Avalonia, Blazor WebAssembly, WPF, WinForms, WinUI, and Eto Forms.

## Use cases
- add line, bar, and pie charts to a WPF application
- render real-time updating charts in a .NET MAUI app
- display candlestick stock charts in WinForms
- draw an interactive world heat map in Avalonia
- show gauges and polar charts in a Blazor WebAssembly app
- bind MVVM view models to animated charts with automatic updates

## When to choose
- you are building a .NET desktop, mobile, or web UI and need attractive animated charts with minimal setup
- you need one charting API across multiple .NET frameworks like WPF, MAUI, and Avalonia
- you want MVVM-friendly data binding with automatic chart updates

## When to avoid
- you need server-side static chart image generation rather than interactive UI controls
- your project is not on the .NET platform
- you need a fully free high-performance mode - the performance package is paid

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, charts, ui-components
- domain: data-visualization, cross-platform, desktop-applications, web-development
