System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.DataPoint

A data point has at least an X and a Y value. They specify the coordinates within the chart where the data point is drawn or applied

A data point also has attributes which control how such a data point is drawn on the chart. Such attributes include, for example:

• color
• background image
• background gradient
• etc.

While most chart types require exactly one X and one Y value per data point, some chart types need one X, but multiple Y values per data points:

• Bubble
• Candlestick
• Stock

Multiple DataPoint objects typically belong to a System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.DataPointCollection object.
