What’s new in RadChart for 2010 Q1 (Silverlight / WPF)
Greetings, RadChart fans! It is with great pleasure that I present
this short highlight of our accomplishments for the Q1 release :). Weve
worked very hard to make the best silverlight and WPF charting product
even better. Here is some of what we did during the past few months. 1) Zooming&Scrolling and the new sampling engine: Without a doubt one of the most important things we did. This new
feature allows you to bind your chart to a very large set of data with
blazing performance. Dont take my
word for it give
it a try! 2)
New Smart Label Positioning and Spider-like labels feature: This
new feature really helps with very busy graphs. You can play with the
different settings we offer in this
example. 3) Sorting and Filtering. Much like our RadGridview
control the chart now allows you to sort and
filter your data out of the box with a single line of code! 4) Legend improvements Weve also been
paying attention to those of you who wanted a much improved
legend. It is now possible to customize the look and feel of legend
items and legend position with a single click. 5) Custom palette brushes. You
have told us that you want to easily customize all palette colors using a
single clean API from both XAML and code behind. The new custom
palette brushes API does exactly that. There are numerous other improvements as well, as much
improved themes, performance optimizations and other
features that we did. If you want to dig in further check the release
notes and changes
and backwards compatibility topics. Feel free to
share the pains and gains of working with RadChart. Our team is always
open to receiving constructive feedback and beer :-)Did you know that DotNetSlackers also publishes .net articles written by top known .net Authors? We already have over 80 articles in several categories including Silverlight. Take a look: here.
