I want to create a chart that looks as much as possible like Google Realtime Timeline ideally it should support pan & zoom with dynamic labels for axes instead of clicking on links. Is there any way to do it? Thanks.

This chart looks similar: wpf.amcharts.com/stock. Also Visiblox charts allow zooming. I don't know what the 'pan' is (it seems to me that it is related with camera and actor), but a similar timeline can be created with Toolkit charts, two buttons and mouse click event.

Thanks. It's very similar to what I want but it's a commercial charting tool. I wanted to do it with the toolkit if possible. The pan is moving the viewport while you're in the zoom. Thanks again.

@Alireza Noori I have chosen these charts because they have free but restricted versions. All that I can create with toolkit is a chart with 2 buttons (left and right) and vertical line on mouse over. I can't implement zooming and it is hard to move the view to the center if to click on the chart. Could you say where and how this control will be used?

And how many points will this chart have? The google timeline has 24*12 (288) points.

@vorrtext: I want to implement this chart for something similar to google timeline. So the number of points are large. More than google timeline. But if that's an issue, I can cut the points to some sub-sections and switch between them with 2 buttons (next,prev) the zoom is to eliminate the noise amount to provide user a way to select a point.

Sometimes it seems to me that writing blog posts take more time than writing the code.
Here is the link to my implementation of this timeline control: http://vortexwolf.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/silverlight-timeline-chart/

Download the code at my post and write further comments and suggestions there. If there are mistakes - I will correct them.
