## What it is
OxyPlot is a cross-platform plotting library for .NET that renders charts and plots via a PlotModel bound to platform-specific PlotView controls. It supports many UI frameworks including WPF, Windows Forms, Xamarin, GTK#, and exports plots to PNG, PDF, and SVG.

## Use cases
- add line and scatter charts to a WPF application
- plot data in a Xamarin.Forms mobile app
- export charts to PNG, PDF, or SVG files
- render scientific plots in a .NET desktop application
- create custom chart types by overriding rendering
- visualize data in Windows Forms or GTK# apps

## When to choose
- you need interactive 2D plots across multiple .NET platforms from one core library
- you want a permissive MIT-licensed plotting library with NuGet distribution
- you need export to PNG, PDF, or SVG

## When to avoid
- you need 3D plotting or heavy statistical charting beyond 2D series
- you are not working in the .NET ecosystem
- you need a web/JavaScript charting solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, windows, cross-platform
- tags: plotting, c-sharp, wpf, xamarin, netstandard, charts, plot-model, export-png-pdf-svg, mobile, desktop
