用地圖圖表視覺化地理趨勢

用生動的地圖圖表轉換資料，可輕鬆比較值、揭示區域模式並發現可操作的見解。

A map chart is a visual representation of data that displays values across geographic regions using colors, shading, or markers, making complex information easier to interpret. By placing data in a spatial context, map charts help users quickly identify regional patterns, trends, and outliers that might be overlooked in traditional tables or graphs. They are particularly useful for comparing values across countries, states, or counties, enabling clearer insights into geographically distributed data. Common use cases include illustrating population density, highlighting election results, analyzing sales performance by region, and presenting economic indicators. The key benefits of map charts include their ability to simplify complex datasets, provide intuitive comparisons, and support data-driven decision-making by visually connecting numbers with real-world locations.

Several .NET Core chart controls offer map charts including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Chart (part of DevExpress WinForms) lets you visualize geographic data with customizable map charts, enabling precise regional comparisons.
  • ComponentOne Charts for WinForms (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) allows you to transform spatial datasets into interactive map charts.
  • Telerik WPF Chart (part of Telerik UI for WPF) facilitates powerful geographic storytelling through map charts, helping users reveal trends and explore regional performance.
  • Infragistics WPF Charts (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF) enables you to analyze data contextually with map charts, combining intuitive design and clear visualization.

獲得對圖表圖例的更多控制

LightningChart JS v8.0 引入了全面改進的圖例系統，具有更智能的默認值、靈活的定位和增強的自訂功能。

LightningChart JS is a high-performance JavaScript charting library that utilizes WebGL rendering and GPU acceleration to deliver exceptional performance for a wide range of data visualization needs. It is designed to handle large datasets and complex visualizations with ease, enabling developers to create interactive and visually appealing 2D and 3D charts. Ideal for applications demanding smooth real-time data updates, such as financial platforms, engineering tools, scientific research dashboards, and industrial monitoring systems, LightningChart JS provides a comprehensive API for customization and integration into web-based projects.

The LightningChart JS v8.0 update completely reworks legend functionality, making legends a property of the chart, removing visual obstructions, and improving adaptability to available space. The API configuration is now more intuitive and capable, with built-in options supporting a wider range of use cases. Plug‑in support also enables easy extension or customization of legend behavior. By default, legends now appear automatically beneath trends, reducing developer setup time, while still allowing you to manually create multiple legends when needed. You can position legends using built-in presets or define custom placements, and control click behavior using either the provided handlers or your own. When creating series, you can also exclude specific ones from appearing in legends, giving you fine-grained control over legend content.

To see a full list of what's new in v8.0, see our release notes.

LightningChart JS is licensed per developer and is available as an annual license with 1 year support. See our LightningChart JS licensing page for full details.

透過對 RTL 的支援在 Vue.js 中設計報表

8月 22, 2025
使用支援從右到左佈局的報表控制項，Vue.js 開發人員可以裝備其報表應用程式輕鬆處理 RTL 語言。

RTL support (Right-to-Left) enables the creation and viewing of reports that can accommodate languages that are read from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, and so on. In the context of report design, this involves aligning text, tables, charts, and interface elements in a way that respects the natural reading direction of said languages, so that the report is displayed correctly for the target audience. Support for RTL languages is a key capability for developers and organizations operating in multilingual environments, ensuring users working in these languages can design, view, and interpret reports accurately and comfortably within the reporting application.

Several Vue.js reporting components include RTL support, including:

  • DevExpress Reporting offers Vue.js developers comprehensive report controls that support right-to-left layout alignment for RTL language environments.
  • ActiveReportsJS by MESCIUS lets you design and preview RTL-based reports with proper text alignment, layout orientation, and interactive viewing for RTL language users.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.JS also supports Vue.js as well as having built-in RTL rendering to ensure report content aligns as required for right-to-left languages.

單獨運行 ReSharper 以獲得更好的穩定性

ReSharper 2025.2 引入了進程外支援，透過將其與 Visual Studio 解耦來提高可靠性。

ReSharper is a productivity and code quality plugin for Visual Studio, developed by JetBrains. It helps .NET developers write cleaner, more efficient code. By analyzing code on-the-fly, ReSharper identifies potential errors and suggests fixes. It also automates code refactoring, allowing developers to safely restructure their codebase. These features improve developer productivity and maintainability of the code, making ReSharper a valuable tool for both individual developers and development teams.

The ReSharper 2025.2 release includes a public preview of its new Out-of-Process (OOP) mode, marking the first stable release to support this architectural shift. The key improvement is that ReSharper now runs in a separate process from Microsoft Visual Studio, rather than being embedded directly into the IDE. This change promises to significantly enhance both stability and performance, especially in larger solutions. By isolating ReSharper from the Visual Studio environment, it reduces the likelihood of one tool affecting the responsiveness or reliability of the other. It also opens the door for future optimizations in memory usage and responsiveness, making this an important step forward for .NET developers using the Visual Studio ecosystem.

To see a full list of what's new in version 2025.2, see our release notes.

ReSharper is licensed per user, and is available as a commercial annual subscription license. We can supply new subscriptions, subscription renewals, lapsed renewals, and additional user licenses. See our ReSharper licensing page for full details.

ReSharper is available to buy in the following products:
