ComponentArt WinChart for .NET Main Features

3D Rendering

Advanced image quality delivered by ComponentArt's 3D rendering engine.

The engine processes lights, reflection and transparency to produce near ray-tracing quality of graphics in a fraction of a second.

The original 3D rendering engine makes full use of 3D space for additional data presentation (for example variable segment heights in pie/doughnut charts)

Advanced features such as object intrusion produce great looking charts, not possible in traditional 2D rendering.

ComponentArt WinChart for .NET Flexible Chart Modelling

Tree-like series structure is combined with the API for fine-tuning axes, planes, labels and data points.

Chart contents such as series, axes, coordinate systems, annotations etc. are exposed through both the wizard and property view in design time, as well as through APIs for fine tuning at run-time .The Visual Studio property view provides full access to all chart properties available in design-time. The charting API allows for the finest run-time charting object model tuning, up to the finest detail of individual data points, individual axis labels, etc.

ComponentArt WinChart for .NET State-of-the-art Wizard Visual Studio design-time Support

Visual Studio design-time support makes creation of complex charts possible without coding. The wizard provides support for series type selection, series hierarchy building and data binding, view direction and coordinate system tuning, colour palette selection, titles, legends, and more. Many complex charts can be built entirely in the wizard without a single line of code.

ComponentArt WinChart for .NET Extensible and Customizable Chart Styles

All visual aspects of any chart are controlled through a concept of reusable styles for individual chart elements. Chart styles are controlled through a set of fully customizable, reusable and extensible style collections for each type of object that may appear in a chart, such as series, data point labels, axis annotations, etc.

Every type of object that may appear in a chart has its own style type including series, data point labels, 2D and 3D lines, markers and gradients. For every style type a collection of predefined styles is provided. Existing styles can be customized and/or new styles may be created and stored into corresponding style collections, making it easy to create a specific design template. Templates can be used to save and reuse chart styles. For example, a unified chart style can be defined on report and company level.
