The LightningChart type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	LightningChart	Default constructor. Creates new LightningChart object.
	LightningChart(RenderingSettings)	Creates new LightningChart object. Takes parameter that can be used in defining certain settings on creation time. Note that some of the settings are dangerous to use, and the constructor itself is intended for advanced use. In normal situation it's better to use the default parameterless constructor.
