[SerializeField] RawImage _rawImage;    // Start is called before the first frame update       void Start()       {           var plotModel = new PlotModel { Title = "OxyPlot Demo" };           plotModel.Axes.Add(new LinearAxis { Position = AxisPosition.Bottom });          plotModel.Axes.Add(new LinearAxis { Position = AxisPosition.Left, Maximum = 10, Minimum = 0 });          var series1 = new LineSeries           {             MarkerType = MarkerType.Circle,             MarkerSize = 4,             MarkerStroke = OxyColors.White           };           series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(0.0, 6.0));           series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(1.4, 2.1));           series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(2.0, 4.2));           series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(3.3, 2.3));           series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(4.7, 7.4));           series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(6.0, 6.2));           series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(8.9, 8.9));           plotModel.Series.Add(series1);           MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();           PngExporter.Export(plotModel, ms, 500, 300);           _rawImage.texture = GeneralUtils.ByteArrayToTexture(ms.ToArray());     }
