Hacking on a sample using Windows Composition APIs in WPF

Status as of 12/14

Summary

Rough summary of what you'll find in the repo -

• WPF app hosting class that implements HwndHost
• Uses pinvoke and COM interop to access additional platform APIs
• Custom Graph class and associated helpers
• Graph uses Composition APIs and animations to enhance look & feel
• Text rendered using SharpDX

TODO / Wish list

• Update how data can be passed to the graph (include bar labels with data)
• Automate graph resizing based on parent container size
• Make graph orientation options (horizontal vs vertical)
• Add more graph bar style options - shared linear gradient, blurred semi-transparent color, etc
• Legend
• Trend line on top of bars
• Option for data sets (groups of bars)
• Bar hover-over text
• Ability to add data later on (abstract from constructor)
• Text change property events to auto trigger text redraw
• Options for min bar width
