Even More Charts And Charting Features In v2010 vol 1 Release

     

XtraCharts, our premiere charting suite for both WinForms and ASP.NET, is getting even more charts and features in the DXperience v2010.1 release!

Check out what XtraCharts will provide you in the next major release:

New Series View Types

Side-by-Side Stacked and Side-by-Side Full-Stacked Bar series are now available for both 2D and 3D charting (click image to see larger version):

2D Side-by-Side Stacked Bars 2D Side-by-Side 100% Stacked Bars
charts-2d-stacked charts-2d-full-stacked
3D Side-by-Side Stacked Bars 3D Side-by-Side 100% Stacked Bars
charts-3d-stacked charts-3d-full-stacked (1)

Annotations Support

You can now create text or image annotations anchored to a chart, pane, or series point. You can fully customize their layout, positioning and appearance by using centralized access and management via the chart's repository.

As you can see in the following screenshot, end-users can easily move, resize and rotate annotation items.

Scrolling and Zooming Improvements

Legend Enhancements

You can now change legend marker appearance by customizing marker colors, fill style, size, visibility, and specifying a custom marker image. You can additionally customize font, color and visibility of legend text using event handlers.

Other Improvements

  • A new event allows you to display custom mouse cursors.
  • You can display custom text when a chart is too small to accommodate the diagram, or when a series has no data which results in an empty diagram.
  • You can display minor axis tick marks only.
  • You can specify an image format (bitmap or metafile) that will be used for chart's exporting or printing.

Great features, but I am missing the one that I need most:

The capability in pie charts for multi-line labels (that wrap when they become to large - this is when they start making the chart really tiny)? That is something needed desperately and supported by most other charting packages.
