Visualize and Analyze Cyclical or Angular Data

June 18, 2024
LightningChart .NET v12 adds a new Polar Heatmap / IntensityGrid series type for visualizing complex polar data with intensity values.

LightningChart .NET is a high-performance data visualization library designed for .NET developers working with WPF, WinForms, and UWP applications. It offers GPU-accelerated rendering for smooth real-time visualization of massive datasets, exceeding billions of data points. This library supports a wide variety of chart types, including 2D, 3D, polar, and geographic maps, along with extensive customization options for each. LightningChart .NET is a powerful tool for developers creating demanding data visualization applications requiring exceptional performance.

The LightningChart v12 update introduces the Polar Heatmap / IntensityGrid series (IntensityGridSeriesPolar), specifically designed for visualizing complex polar data with intensity values. Polar Heatmap charts utilizes a circular coordinate system to visualize data. One axis represents angles (thetas) while the other, known as amplitude, represents the distance from a central point (radii). Color intensity encodes the data values, effectively creating a circular heatmap that reveals both directional trends (angles) and variations in magnitude (amplitude) within the data. This chart type excels at analyzing cyclical or angular data, making it ideal for applications like wind speed and direction or seasonal variations throughout the year.

To see a full list of what's new in v12.0, see our release notes.

LightningChart .NET is available per developer in packages for either WPF, WinForms, UWP or all 3. Each package comes as a subscription license (with 1 or 2 years of limited support), or a perpetual license (with 1 or 2 years of Standard or Premium support). Floating licenses and site licenses are available upon request. See our LightningChart .NET licensing page for full details.
