Logarithmic Scale

This web site builds the control from code behind but you could also grab it from the toolbox, this sample also uses a ViewModel to populate the properties of the control(s) in this sample.

View model

using System;
using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel;
using LiveChartsCore;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView;

namespace ViewModelsSamples.Axes.Logarithmic;

public partial class ViewModel : ObservableObject
{
    // base 10 log, change the base if you require it.
    // or use any custom scale the logic is the same.
    private static readonly int s_logBase = 10;

    public ISeries[] Series { get; set; } =

                chartPoint.SecondaryValue = logPoint.X;

                // but for the Y coordinate, we will map to the logarithm of the value
                chartPoint.PrimaryValue = Math.Log(logPoint.Y, s_logBase); // mark

            MinStep = 1,

            // converts the log scale back for the label
            Labeler = value => Math.Pow(s_logBase, value).ToString() // mark
        }

Form code behind

        var viewModel = new ViewModel();

        cartesianChart = new CartesianChart
        {
            Series = viewModel.Series,
            YAxes = viewModel.YAxes,

            // out of livecharts properties...
            Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0),
            Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 50),
            Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom
        };

        Controls.Add(cartesianChart);
