Actipro Charts for WPF 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.
