Strip plot chart

info

Charts are available with Avalonia Pro.

Strip plots show every observation in a category while applying jitter to reduce overlap and optional mean lines to summarize the center.

When to use​

  • Raw sample display: Show every point rather than only quartiles or averages.
  • Category spread: Compare how tightly or widely values cluster per group.
  • Hybrid views: Combine raw observations with a simple mean reference line.

Code example​

XAML​

<charts:StripPlotChart Title="Response times"
                                 Height="300"
                                 ItemsSource="{Binding StripData}"
                                 CategoryPath="Category"
                                 ValuePath="Value"
                                 JitterAmount="0.3"
                                 ShowMeanLine="True" />

Data model (C#)​

public record StripPoint(string Category, double Value);

public ObservableCollection<StripPoint> StripData { get; } = new()
{
    new("API", 120),
    new("API", 128),
    new("UI", 95),
    new("UI", 102)
};
