Forums | NoesisGUI

Hi everyone!

I’m happy to share something I’ve been working on: LiveCharts2 support for NoesisGUI! 🎉

I struggled to find a modern, comprehensive charting library for Noesis. The few options I came across were old and broken, and more like a proof of concept that we can do charting with Noesis... so I decided to bring over what I consider the best open-source charting library in the .NET world: LiveCharts2!

This brings the full LiveCharts2 engine to Noesis with a dedicated renderer. I initially had a working SkiaSharp version, but switched to rendering directly through Noesis to avoid another native graphics dependency, especially with consoles in mind. All LiveCharts 2 tests passed: 844 core tests + 172 existing snapshot tests. All 112 gallery examples were also checked in both themes.

The port has a sample that includes the 112-example LiveCharts2 gallery.

There’s also a Unity sample which shows how cool LiveCharts2 (a of course Noesis 😁) is:

So far, it’s been tested on Windows with .NET and Unity 6.1 using Noesis 4. Feedback, bug reports and testing on other platforms are very welcome. 😊

This is absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for putting all this effort into bringing LiveCharts2 to NoesisGUI! And rendering directly through Noesis is definitely the way to go.

I'm genuinely excited about this! Please let us know when you feel it's ready for the spotlight. We'd love to feature it in our Showcase gallery, highlight it in the Download thread, and share it across our social media channels.

Fantastic work, and thanks again for contributing to the Noesis community!

Thank you so much! 😊 As an old WPF dev who’s worked with pretty much every XAML variant since, finding Noesis was a real eureka moment for me. I’m making a tycoon/management game with a lot of UI, and it’s saved me so much time compared to Unity UI. Before finding it, I was actually thinking about writing a whole MVVM system myself!

The time I’ve saved using Noesis is way more than I spent porting LiveCharts2, so this is my little way of giving back and saying thank you 👍

And yes, I’d love to see it featured, no problem! It’s been working really well on the platforms I’ve tested so far, and I keep a list of platforms and test results in the Unity repo.

PlayStation, Switch and iOS still need testing, and I don’t have access to those platforms. Anyone who can try it is very welcome to share their results or open an issue if something doesn’t work!

Will this be the official repository?

Yes this is my fork of LiveCharts2 that contains the port, I opened a PR against LiveCharts2 repo, but I don't know when (or if) they will merge it.

The Unity sample uses the compiled DLL of LiveCharts2.Noesis.
