.netCHARTING WinForms versions

v8.1 [Feb 20, 2015]
Range Column and Areas
- Now bar, column and area charts support points with start and end values in JSC. This enables a column or area that starts at a value greater than zero, for example, and allows for effective and attractive display of ranged data.
Error bars
- Complete support for error bars and values has been added to JSC along with support to automatically populate element error properties from your own database. As part of a comprehensive system for representing errors in collected data, .netCHARTING leverages multiple sub values support in JSC with rendering as error bars, lines and markers.
Circular Gauge Type
- A stunning gauge / dial chart type has been brought to JSC. In addition to supporting a single chart, multiple gauges can be added for instant executive dashboard implementations. Many advanced features are supported with this new type including quarter, half or arbitrary sized gauges.
Pie Slice Length
- Now individual pie slice lengths can be varied based on a separate data independent of the slice total enabling multidimensional data display.
Pie Starting Angle
- Now it is simple to set the starting angle for any pie chart to a specific value required to match your aesthetic requirements.
Radar Charts
- Radar and Multi-Radar have been added to JSC. Great attention was paid to maintaining visuals across these unique charting types including unique radar optimized shading types.
Label Expressions
- Now you can perform common expressions directly within labels in JSC using values from template tokens. For example 100-%YValue to show a label calculated as 100 minus the total for that elements Y value.

v7.0 [Jun 15, 2011]
JavaScript / HTML Chart Output
Complementing the Silverlight Navigator first introduced in version 6.0, a powerful new JavaScript and HTML charting functionality has been added in .netCHARTING 7.0. As always, the complete client side functionality is available through our server side model with no client side development experience required. Setting a single property will enable JavaScript Charting or Silverlight Charting.
.netCHARTING v7.0 New Visuals
Get a fresh new look for your old charts without a single line of code! Automatically improve the look and balance of your legacy charts simply by using the latest version of dotnetcharting.dll. If you are attached to your legacy look--you can easily maintain it with a simple web.config entry and enable the new look on a chart by chart basis instead.
iPhone, iOS, Andoid, WP7 & Tablet support
Our interactive JavaScript charts are just as beautiful and functional on an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Windows Phone, Mac, PC and more. .netCHARTING version 7 provides the widest support across devices, with a fast-to-load, plugin-free implementation--the goal with JavaScript Charting is to work seamlessly on any device, anywhere.
Touch-screen support
Working with a phone or tablet? Now you can interact with touch event support to get tooltip data, zoom or scroll through charts.
Browser Compatibility
Our JavaScript Charting is built with a focus on extensive browser support including Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer (even as far back as version 6) plus mobile and webkit browsers used on the majority of phones and tablets. Advanced interactive and client side charts are now available to the widest audience using .netCHARTING.
Dynamic Tooltips
Advanced tooltips with custom attributes and dynamic coloring provide quick and easy identification of elements with additional useful information such as element value and more through a token based system. Color highlights, seamlessly integrated into the tooltip box, help effortlessly clarify which element is being viewed when working with data dense charts.
Bar Shading Effects
Visual fidelity is maintained between server side and client side charts with client optimized bar shading including animation support.
Comparable Visual and User Experiences
Client side interactive charts typically sacrifice a lot, providing a substantially different visual and functional experience vs server side charts. With .netCHARTING 7.0 you get, for the first time, a level of polish and visual quality that is comparable to server side offerings across the same chart types, while still leveraging animation, touch and mobile specific features.
Animation
Clear and refined animation is built in to JS Charting including axis animations, bar and pie drawing, line growth, real-time drawing operations and more.
Real-Time updates
Chart values can be added in real-time and immediately display in the chart area, even dynamically scaling the axis as needed.
Client Side interactivity
A number of interactivity features are supported including advanced dynamic tooltips, touch interaction, zooming, series interaction and a powerful API for advanced customization.
Image, vector and PDF Export
Client side charts may be saved or exported in a number of formats including JPG or PNG images and native vector PDF files (compatible with Adobe and other PDF tools) in addition to SVG files.
Client side printing support
Full support for client side printing is seamlessly integrated. Click the optionally enabled and customizable print button and you get a true hard-copy representation of the chart being viewed.
Series Hiding
Dynamically hide series and rescale axis to the remaining values without that series enabled, using a simple click on the series entry in the legend. A second click enables the series again with an animated addition.
Element Highlighting
Highlight elements on mouse over for easy identification and visual connection to element specific tooltips.
Zooming
Click and drag to zoom into regions of a given chart to view them in more detail. Return to the original zoom bounds with a single click or tap.
Client-Side JavaScript API
A application programmer’s interface enables advanced developers to further customize and interact with the JavaScript charts, however all features are accessible through our easy to use server side model as well. No experience with JavaScript is required to fully leverage .netCHARTING V7.0’s powerful JavaScript charts just as no experience is required to leverage the compelling .netCHARTING Navigator for Silverlight.
Multiple-Axes Support
As with .netCHARTING, multiple axis support is standard and seamlessly integrated.
New Default Palette
As part of the new look, a new default palette has been added to complement the new visuals.
New subtle Shading Effect
Subtle shading with a focus on color constancy and crisp visuals has been added and utilized in the new look in .netCHARTING V7.0.
Dynamic Default Shading
A dynamic visualization system has been added to implement shading throughout the chart to enhance the look and feel while maintaining balance between design elements in the chart.
Multi-Color Gradient stops
Gradients can now support multiple colors and stops to create advanced shading such as the chart area grid fills seen in the new look. This can also be used for any chart objects which support backgrounds such as the chart area.
Shadow Expansion Support
A new feature for shadow support enables shadows to size larger than the object that throws the shadow.
