Xceed Chart for .NET 4.1

Create spectacular charts in your .NET applications with this high-quality yet cost-effective 2D/3D chart component. Features extensive VS.NET design-time support, built in toolbar and grid, built-in formulas, 3D view control and scene lighting, flexible legends and axes, and much more. Simply put, it provides all the chart types and capabilities you need at a down-to-earth price.

With Xceed Chart for .NET, you get more than stunning looking charts. Under the hood is a powerful 3D OpenGL chart renderer which uses the graphic card’s built-in 3D acceleration to generate charts at startling speed. That also means you can offer end-users smooth trackball and zoom capabilities, and apply 3D lighting and special scene effects to your charts.

Easy to implement

Xceed Chart for .NET makes it easy to get your Windows Forms application to display presentation-quality charts. Here's why:

- You can work by example. Using the Chart Explorer, just pick the chart type you need to display from over 115 samples, then copy the source code into your project and adjust the parameters.
- You can work visually. With the Chart Wizard or the detailed configuration dialogs, you can entirely bypass having to write configuration code.

Power without the price

From simple charts to complex business, scientific and financial charts, with Xceed Chart for .NET, you're covered: 2D/3D bar, line, area, pie, point, bubble, stock, radar, polar, high/low, grid, mesh, shape¦ without paying thousands of dollars for so-called advanced technology or being stuck with a develop-but-don't-distribute studio edition that's really a trial-version in disguise.

Extra components

Built-in grid and toolbar components add valuable end-user features to software written with Xceed Chart for .NET. They expose the most common chart commands and allow you to easily integrate data-editing features into your applications.

Written entirely in managed C# (except for OpenGL module). Source code available in the Blueprint Edition.
Can be used in C#, VB.NET, and Managed C++.
Not a .NET interface over a recycled ActiveX component.
All error handling works through .NET exception classes.
Object-oriented design created specifically for the .NET framework.
100% Unicode support.
Fast loading object with efficient memory usage.
Documentation fully integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

Unique innovations Video card hardware acceleration: Useful for real-time applications because it frees your CPU from having to draw the chart and transfers all rendering to the video card's GPU.
OpenGL for rendering charts: Creates impressive lighting effects, smoothes chart elements using antialiasing and jittering, and provides unique fill effects.
GDI+ rendering mode: Specially designed for displaying two-dimensional charts and often produces better-looking 2D charts than the OpenGL device. Surface charts are not supported.
Rendering surface control: Support for bitmap and window rendering surfaces in both GDI+ and OpenGL rendering modes. The rendering surface can be changed at runtime.
Advanced data binding: Allows data contained in the data series to be bound to DataAdapters and DataSets. There is also a built-in wizard allowing you to configure the DataBinding with ease.
Built-in UI components: Grid and toolbar components help make the design of applications with Xceed Chart for .NET more visual. The toolbar exposes the most frequently used commands of the chart control and also supports custom buttons. The grid is data-aware and supports true date-time editing, as well as fill effect, line style, and cursor type editing.
Photoshop-like image effects can be applied on all chart elements rendering in 2D mode. This includes blur, bevel and emboss, and lighting and glow filters, with many variations.
HTML-like multiline texts: Text rendering supports multiline and HTML-like formatted texts with applied fill effect, border, shadow and image filters through XML tags and attributes. Support for bullets, superscript, and subscript texts.
Shadows can be applied on all chart elements rendered in 2D mode. The component supports several types of shadows, including solid, linear blur, radial blur, and Gaussian blur, with controlled fade area and color.
Interactive tools: Data Pan (end-user can scroll through the chart data), Data Zoom (end-user can zoom in the chart data contained in a user-specified rectangle and zoom-out can also be performed), and Data Cursor (helps determine the axis scale coordinates when clicking click on the chart or hovering over it).
Chart Explorer: An interactive application that demonstrates how the different chart types function. Provides 115 chart examples, each with source code.
Rendering images with transparent background: With the help of a single property, the chart can generate images with a transparent background. When the control is hosted in a Windows Forms application, this feature also properly modifies the control styles.
