Updates in 2011 v1

With Excel-like filtering added to FlexGrid, a long list of Chart enhancements, and four new, powerful controls, the release of Studio for WPF is sure to please. FlexGrid users will enjoy the Excel-like ability to either set the filter by selecting values that should be displayed or by specifying conditions that must be met by the values in the column. Just the same, Chart users are sure to revel the 2011 additions, to just name a few: quickly render line and scatter plots using low-level graphics routines, easily position elements on the chart with new Layer collection, and ability to stack multiple plot areas horizontally and vertically.

New RichTextBox Control

Load, edit, and save formatted text as HTML or RTF documents with this new text editor control.
The C1RichTextBox control provides fast document rendering, rich formatting, automatic line wrapping, HTML and RTF import/export, table support, images, annotations, and more.

Chart for WPF Enhancements

New Layers collection for positioning elements on the chart such as markers, labels and interactive elements more easily.
Support for stacking multiple plot areas horizontally and vertically. This gives a more flexible layout for axes that will allow you to have several plot areas inside a single chart control.
New Polygon chart types: Polygon and PolygonFilled. These are similar to Line and Area chart types but can create closed areas defined by the data points.

FlexGrid for WPF Enhancements
