I have a WPF app and need to have scatter graph in 3D. By taking the input either CSV or Excel file and plot a graph and Heat map. Unable to figure out any alternative for this. With the help of "Oxyplot" package scatter map is done but not heat map.
With out any commercial ( like Telerik, DevExpress). Suggest how to build it.

Hi,@Santhosh Badam. Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.
WPF itself can draw 3D images via the Viewport3D class, check 3D Graphics Overview.
You can also find some third-party open-source libraries on github by keyword, which makes it easy to draw 3D heatmaps in WPF.
Not images, Scatter graphs by inputs from CSV, excel files. Also that to open source
Hi,@Santhosh Badam.
You should not use scatter plot to draw heat map, but use data from CSV, excel to draw heat map.
You can search for libraries that draw heat map by keyword.
Hi, @Hongrui Yu-MSFT
I am asking open source libraries for both heat maps and Scatter graphs as input of CSV's, Excel and other files. Mostly found commercial packages. Provide any open-source
Hi,@Santhosh Badam.
Currently, we are unable to share third-party links. You could search the following keywords c# wpf open source library to find 3d heatmap and scatter plot as input to CSV, Excel and other files. This is my search result. You can click on the image to enter the content and find a third-party library that meets your needs.
Hi, @Hongrui Yu-MSFT
If you are not able share the links, Please send the workable packages for to make 2D, 3D graphs and heat maps in WPF. Also open source
Thanks
