One thing, though, I downloaded Snoop 2.7.0 which is marked as the latest. It doesn't make any claims that it is snooping a 64-bit application (or a 32-bit application) as your images show. I am wondering whether this is part of the release or it is not yet released. I think it is a great tool! One thing, though, I downloaded Snoop 2.7.0 which is marked as the latest.

First ... I have updated the test harness that you have downloaded. I was previously only showing a logarithmic axis (in the correct direction) on the Y axis ... and not really focusing on the line series. It was working ... but the minimum and maximum values weren't showing a range to where you could see the data. That is, the sample data occurs at values less than 100. In the updated harness, I have created a derived logarithmic axis that better shows off the line series. So, in other words, the fact that no data displays in my test harness is likely not related. Second ... the development release 4 of this charting component ... may or may not be completely compatible with the February 2010 release of the WPF Toolkit ... I do not know, I have not tried this specific incantation of the logarithmic axis against it. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't be too hard to fix ... so that it does work ... but it may not be a drop-in. @Justin, two things.

I'm looking into it still and haven't yet come up w/ a reasonable explanation. Consequently, I have also downloaded the DataVisualizationDemos4 project you have linked above, and when selecting to see the "Logarithmic Axis" demonstration, the grid appears but the data line does not. Could the fact no data displays there be related as well? As a background, I am using the February 2010 Release of the WPF Toolkit and .Net Framework 4 in Visual Studio 2010. @cplotts

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if there is an arbitrary limitation in the charting code. I would debug into it if I were you. If you are still hitting a brick wall after debugging into it, compose a simple project for me and I'll see if I can take a quick look myself.

My plot is supposed to be a column series with a date/time axis along the X, and a logarithmic axis in the Y direction. When I attempt to render, no values appear on my chart. If I change the column series to another type, such as scatter, area, or line series, my data renders. Do you have any ideas on why my columns don't appear? As I said, I am new to WPF (I am a Java developer mostly), so if there is more info I need to provide let me know. Thanks!
