Actipro Charts for UWP Features

Chart Types

  • Line Charts - A line chart renders quantitative data as a series of points connected by line segments. Lines can be straight, curved, or stepped. Markers can optionally be displayed based on type (such as first/last, high/low, negative, etc.).
  • Scatter Charts - Scatter charts render data points where each point is represented by a marker. Markers can use numerous built-in shapes or can be set to use custom shapes.
  • Area Charts - An area chart is a derivative of a line chart, where the area between the line and axis is filled in. As with line charts, areas can also be rendered using straight, curved, or stepped lines.
  • Stacked Area Charts - A stacked area chart combines multiple area series to represent cumulative totals. A 100% stacked area chart variant is also available, ensuring that the combined areas fill the chart, and that each area is representative of its percentage of the cumulative total.
  • Bar Charts - A bar chart displays rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values they represent. Bar spacing can be set and the bars can be changed to render horizontally instead.
  • Stacked Bar Charts - A stacked bar chart combines multiple bar series to represent cumulative totals. A 100% stacked bar chart variant is also available, ensuring that the combined bars fill the chart, and that each area is representative of its percentage of the cumulative total.
  • Pie/Donut Charts - A pie chart displays data as a series of pie slices, making up a whole 'pie'. The value of each data point is represented by the size of each pie slice. A donut chart is similar to a pie chart, but with a hole in the center.

Data Sources

  • Multiple Series - Multiple series can be shown on a single chart. XY charts can share the same axes, or use different scales entirely. The visibility of each series can easily be toggled on and off. Pie charts can show multiple pie series as concentric rings.
  • Easy Data Binding - Bind to any IEnumerable as your data source. Simple charts can bind directly to date or numeric value collections. More complex objects or other data can be bound using property paths.
  • Data Aggregation - Data aggregation limits the number of data points rendered on-screen, for both increased performance and easier viewing. Several aggregation modes are available, and fine tune how many points are shown in relation to the size of the chart.
  • Bar Chart Slots - Group bar chart data by interval, allowing multiple data points to sum into single bars. Bar charts with string or complex type data can group data by equality, or custom logic. Groups can be labeled and sorted using custom logic as well.

Appearance

  • Legends - Legends provide context for each series or pie slice. Their appearance and position are fully customizable.
  • Labels - Labels show the value of any given data point or pie slice. XY chart labels can be set to always show, or only when the mouse is moved nearby.
  • Axes - Axes display XY chart data scales. Major and minor ticks can be drawn at desired intervals, and labels and titles and be added.
  • Grid Lines/Stripes - Grid lines and stripes make it easy to reference a given data point against values on an axis. They can be shown or hidden on each axis, and customized with the color of your choice.
  • Ranges - Ranges highlight a range of values on a single axis. Multiple ranges can be shown on an XY chart at the same time.
  • Palettes - There are over 15 built-in color palettes for series display, ready for use. Or provide your own, allowing you to style charts however you like.

Actipro Docking & MDI for UWP Features

  • Visual Studio-Like UI - The appearance and run-time behavior of window dragging, tabs, auto-hide popups, context menus, resize splitters, dock guides, etc. is all inspired by the popular Visual Studio user interface.
  • Docking Windows - Windows can be docked, attached (to create a tab group), floated, auto-hidden, or moved to an optional MDI area. Complex resizable hierarchies of tool and document windows can be created.
  • Tabbed MDI - In tabbed MDI each tab represents a document that can be reordered or moved between tab groups. Tabbed MDI documents can be floated into their own full-featured floating dock host.
  • Standard MDI - In Standard MDI each document is represented by a Window-like control that can be moved, resized, minimized, or maximized. Cascade and tile operations are built-in.
  • Auto-Hide - A tab group of tool windows that is docked can be unpinned to enter an auto-hide state. When in this state, tabs for each tool window appear on the outer edges of the layout.
  • Dock Guides - When dragging windows around, dock guides are displayed with the valid drop locations, and a drop target shows the resulting bounds. There is full control over which drop locations are allowed.
  • Switchers - Switchers appear when pressing keys like Ctrl+Tab and allow you to quickly navigate to an open docking window via the keyboard. They can also display descriptions about each docking window.
  • Fluid Animated Effects - Quick subtle animations are used throughout the product. Tab dragging uses smooth animation, dock guides and drop targets pop into place, and auto-hide popups slide in and out.
  • Layout Persistence - The docking layout and its windows can be set up in XAML or programmatically-created. In addition, the end user's layout customizations can be saved and later restored between app sessions.
  • MVVM Support - Docking windows can be specified explicitly, or automatically generated by binding to a list of custom view models.
  • Reusable Controls - Several controls are included that can be reused stand-alone in your apps, such as one that behaves like a resizable window, and an advanced tab control that has tons of features not found in standard tab controls.
  • Drag and Drop Tabs - Drag and drop tabs to quickly reorder them within their container. Drag them to any other location within the dock site to dock them, or keep them floating above it.
  • Workspace Content - While most applications have tool windows that surround a workspace with a MDI area, any kind of custom content can be inserted into the workspace in place of a MDI area.
  • Tool Window Inner-Fill - When there is no workspace within a dock site, the tool window hierarchy fills the entire docking layout. This mode is useful for apps that want their UI to be made completely of tool windows.
  • Nested Dock Sites - Dock sites can be nested in other dock sites, such as in document and tool windows. For example, a document window in the outer dock site can have its own inner dock site that contains tool windows.
  • Linked Dock Sites - One or more dock sites can be linked with other dock sites in your app, including ones in separate top-level windows. When dock sites are linked, docking windows can be interactively dragged between them.

Actipro Editors for UWP Features

Edit Boxes for .NET Types - Specialized edit boxes have been created for Brush, Byte, Color, CornerRadius, Date, DateTime, Double, Enum, Guid, Int16, Int32, Int32Rect, Int64, Point, Rect, Single, Size, Thickness, Time, TimeSpan and Vector data entry.

  • Easy Value Entry - Type values directly into edit boxes, use arrow keys to increment them, or show the drop-down to select a value from one of many unique value pickers.
  • Cycling Values - Edit box values can typically be incremented or decremented using the up/down arrow keys or the mouse wheel. Page Up/Down can also adjust larger step values.
  • Moving Between Parts - Some edit boxes have multiple part values (e.g. hour, minutes, seconds). The left/right arrow keys move between parts and select the entire value for efficient data entry.
  • Min/Max Values - Minimum and maximum values can be specified for most of the edit boxes. For aggregate types with multiple part values (e.g. Rect), you can restrict each part.
  • Placeholder Text - All edit boxes support null values as an option for when the edit box is cleared. Placeholder text can appear in the edit area to prompt the user for values.
  • Auto-Complete TextBox - The AutoCompleteBox control is a TextBox that also has a popup for presenting a list of suggested items as values are typed. Suggested items can be filtered and highlighted.
  • Masked TextBox - The MaskedTextBox control is a powerful TextBox that can restrict user input based on a regular expression or wildcard pattern, intelligently prompting for masked characters.
  • Country and Currency - The country and currency ComboBox controls are pre-populated with ISO country and currency data that can be filtered however you require.
  • Month Calendar - Select one or more dates using MonthCalendar, a customizable control with animated view transitions, day name and week number display options, and disabled day support.
  • Rating - The Rating control renders glyphs that can be used to present or collect a user rating. The glyphs are customizable and support two orientations.
  • Gradient Stop Slider - The GradientStopSlider control is specialized to support modifying the stops within a gradient brush. Double-click to add, drag to reorder, and drag away to remove a slot.

Value Pickers - Value pickers are specialized input panels for various data types, generally used in edit box drop-downs.

  • Color - Colors are picked via a radial hue slider and saturation/brightness square, or RGB values are entered directly. Alpha transparency can optionally be input as well.
  • Brush - Solid and gradient Brush values are supported with a picker that combines the Color selection interface with a gradient stop slider for managing stops.
  • Enumeration - Quickly select values for both flags and non-flags enum types. Flags enums allow for multiple value selection and grouping of related items.
  • Number - Numerical data types (e.g. Int32, Double) can utilize a radial slider for quick value selection or buttons to step the value.
  • Calculator - Numerical data types have an alternate calculator interface where numeric results can be generated by common mathematical operations.
  • Date - Dates can be selected via a month calendar control with fluent animations between month, year, decade, and century views.
  • Time - Time values can be selected via two radial sliders with a familiar design similar to a standard analog clock.
  • Tabbed Parts - Aggregate types with multiple part values (e.g. Rect, TimeSpan) have a tabbed interface to access an appropriate picker for each part.

Interoperability - All controls can be used standalone or easily integrated into various other usage scenarios.

  • Property Grid - Editors can be automatically injected as property editors within PropertyGrid for comprehensive natural data entry.
  • Data Grid - Integrate editors with a DataGrid to provide user-friendly input and presentation of data values for individual data columns in the grid.
  • Standalone Usage - The control appearances align with other native controls, allowing them to be dropped right into an app and be instantly approachable by end users.
