1. import namespace

Imports System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting

    找个namespace包含用于图表 Windows 窗体控件方法和属性（如chart控件）

2. 设置chart控件

    a. 在ChartArea属性里，添加ChartArea1， ChartArea2.

    b. 设置align相关属性。

3. 使用代码配置ChartArea

    a. 已添加ChartArea。

        这种情况直接设置

1.  
   Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Title = "Length (nt)" '设置ChartArea里坐标轴标题
2.  
   Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisY.Title = "Read count"
3.  
    
4.  
    
5.  
   Chart1.ChartAreas(1).AxisX.Title = "Length (nt)" '设置ChartArea里坐标轴标题
6.  
   Chart1.ChartAreas(1).AxisY.Title = "Read count"
7.  
    
8.  
    
9.  
   minValue = DateTime.Now
10.  
    '30预览区域
11.  
    maxValue = minValue.AddSeconds(30)
12.  
     
13.  
     
14.  
    Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Minimum = minValue.ToOADate()
15.  
    Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Maximum = maxValue.ToOADate()
16.  
     
17.  
     
18.  
    Chart1.ChartAreas(1).AxisX.Minimum = minValue.ToOADate()
19.  
    Chart1.ChartAreas(1).AxisX.Maximum = maxValue.ToOADate()
20.  
     
21.  
     
22.  
    Chart1.Series.Clear()
23.  
     
24.  
     
25.  
    Dim series1 As New Series("Read Count")
26.  
    series1.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Line '设置Series的绘图类型
27.  
    series1.BorderWidth = 1
28.  
    series1.Color = Color.Red
29.  
    series1.XValueType = ChartValueType.Time
30.  
     
31.  
    series1.ChartArea = "ChartArea1"
32.  
     
33.  
    Dim series2 As New Series("Read Count2")
34.  
    series2.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Line '设置Series的绘图类型
35.  
    series2.BorderWidth = 1
36.  
    series2.Color = Color.Blue
37.  
    series2.XValueType = ChartValueType.Time
38.  
     
39.  
    series2.ChartArea = "ChartArea2"
40.  
     
41.  
    Chart1.Series.Add(series1)
42.  
    Chart1.Series.Add(series2)

    b. 未添加ChartArea

        在上一段代码之前添加如下代码

1.  
   Chart1.ChartAreas.Clear() '清空ChartArea
2.  
   Dim ChartAreas1 As New ChartArea("ChartArea1") '定义新的ChartArea
3.  
   Dim ChartAreas2 As New ChartArea("ChartArea2") '定义新的ChartArea
4.  
   Chart1.ChartAreas.Add(ChartAreas1) '将新定义的ChartArea加入Chart1
5.  
   Chart1.ChartAreas.Add(ChartAreas2) '将新定义的ChartArea加入Chart1

4. 添加points

1.  
   For Each ptA In Chart1.ChartAreas
2.  
   Dim ptSeries As Series
3.  
   '对每series进行数据扫描
4.  
   For Each ptSeries In Chart1.Series
5.  
   ptSeries.Points.AddXY(x y)
6.  
   Next ptSeries
7.  
   Next

5. 动态修改X轴坐标（例如：随时间变化）

1.  
   Dim timeStamp As DateTime = DateTime.Now
2.  
   Dim removeBefore As Double = timeStamp.AddSeconds((CDbl(15) * -1)).ToOADate()
3.  
   'remove oldest values to maintain a constant number of data points
4.  
   While ptSeries.Points(0).XValue < removeBefore
5.  
   ptSeries.Points.RemoveAt(0)
6.  
   End While
7.  
    
8.  
    
9.  
   Dim ptA As ChartArea
10.  
    For Each ptA In Chart1.ChartAreas
11.  
    ptA.AxisX.Minimum = ptSeries.Points(0).XValue
12.  
    ptA.AxisX.Maximum = DateTime.FromOADate(ptSeries.Points(0).XValue).AddSeconds(30).ToOADate()
13.  
    Next

6. 清空数据

    Chart1.Series(0).Points.Clear()
