I would like to plot data on a scatter chart with 3 values, for example, x value (double type, frequency), y value (date/time, date and time) z value (double type, amplitude). z value having a color legend representing the value. Something like the attached intensity plot.
Thanks

Hello, Sigfredo,
By design, ScatterSeries in RadChartView plots its data upon two numerical axes. Scatter series identify the position of each ScatterDataPoint using two numerical values - XValue and YValue for the horizontal and vertical axes respectively, just like in the typical Cartesian coordinate system. It doesn't expect a third value.
I can suggest you using a RadChartView together with a RadLinearGauge for the colored values ranges. Additional information about the RadLinearGauge is available in the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gauges/lineargauge/lineargauge
In order to customize the scatter points according to the value it stores, once the chart is populated with the series, you can iterate the ScatterSeries.Children collection and specify the ScatterPointElement.BackColor according to your custom requirements. You can find below a sample code snippet how to color the scatter points with a different random color:
I hope this information helps.
Merry Christmas
