Released: Jul 8, 2025

Updates in v1.2

Features

• Bar Chart Axis Configuration
  • Enhanced the configuration options for tick labels on both the value axis and the category axis in bar charts.
• Parallel Coordinate Chart Dashboard and Solid Coloring
  • The Parallel Coordinate chart can now be added to dashboards.
  • Added a new method to set a solid color fill for all the series.
• Funnel and Pyramid Charts Label Positioning
  • Added a new LabelsInside parameter to Pyramid and Funnel charts, allowing labels to be positioned inside the chart segments.
• Zoom Band Chart Axis Interaction Control
  • Introduced the set_stop_axis_on_interaction method for Zoom Band Charts (ZBC).
  • This allows developers to specify whether interacting with the ZBC should stop updates to connected axes, enabling more precise control over chart synchronization behavior.
• Axis Scroll Strategy and Margin Configuration
  • The set_scroll_strategy method now supports both progressive (default) and regressive scrolling behaviors by setting its value to False.
  • The new set_scroll_margins method allows precise control over the automatic spacing between axis edges and series, improving layout flexibility and visual balance.
• Simplified Color Assignment
  • Colors can now be specified more easily using standard CSS color names, RGB tuples, or hex strings directly, without requiring the use of lc.Color().
  • This streamlines styling and improves developer productivity when customizing chart visuals.
• Unified Mouse Interaction Configuration
  • Several legacy mouse interaction methods have been removed.
  • Developers should now use the new set_user_interactions method to configure, tweak, or override the default set of built-in user interactions.
  • This method provides a centralized way to manage interactions, many of which are optional or mutually exclusive, offering greater flexibility and control over user experience.
• HTML Text Rendering Option for Charts
  • A new html_text_rendering parameter is now available when creating charts.
  • This allows developers to choose between WebGL-based and HTML-based text rendering, offering greater flexibility in balancing performance and text clarity depending on the rendering context.
• Theme Scaling for Chart Elements
  • A new theme_scale parameter is now available during chart creation.
  • This feature allows automatic scaling of font sizes, tick lengths, element paddings, and other visual components to ensure consistent and visually balanced chart layouts across different display contexts.
