Class MainWindow
    Private Sub Window_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
        Dim xs = New Double() {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
        Dim ys = New Double() {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
        WpfPlot1.Plot.Add.Scatter(xs, ys)
        WpfPlot1.Plot.Axes.AutoScale()
        WpfPlot1.Refresh()
    End Sub
End Class
