2D Charting

As you can well imagine, the XtraCharts Suite provides you the means with which to transform data to its most appropriate, concise and readable visual representation. To guarantee the highest levels of flexibility at both design and runtime, the XtraCharts engine offers you 28 distinct chart types - ranging from bars to financial views.

	Doughnut Chart		Full-Stacked Area Chart		Full-Stacked Bar Chart
	Full-Stacked Spline Area Chart		Funnel Chart		Line Chart
	Overlapped Gantt Chart		Overlapped Range Bar Chart		Pie Chart
	Point Chart		Polar Area Chart		Polar Line Chart
	Polar Point Chart		Radar Area Chart		Radar Line Chart
	Radar Point Chart		Scatter Line Chart		Side-by-Side Bar Chart
	Side-by-Side Full-Stacked Bar Chart		Side-by-Side Gantt Chart		Side-by-Side Range Bar Chart
	Side-by-Side Stacked Bar Chart		Stock Chart		Spline Area Chart
	Spline Chart		Stacked Area Chart		Stacked Bar Chart
	Stacked Spline Area Chart		Step Line Chart		Swift Plot

Multiple and Different Series in One Diagram

Over time, you may encounter the need to display multiple series within the same diagram. We've engineered the XtraCharts Suite to provide you with maximum flexibility in this regard. In fact, you are never limited to using the same view for each series within your diagram.

Scrolling and Zooming Capabilities for 2D Charts

In Windows Forms applications, end-users can zoom and scroll charts.

Multi-Pane Charts

If you must display several series that share the same arguments or the same values, a few options are available to you:

• Display several charts
  This will require a lot of form space and provides no ability to share an argument axis.
• Display several series in one diagram
  This works fine if series can share both axes. If not, you will end up creating secondary axes, which make a chart unreadable if you have more than two series.
• Display a multi-pane chart (new option available with XtraCharts Suite v2008 vol 2)
  This chart type has multiple side-by-side charts that can share an axis - you can even enable the simultaneous scrolling of the charts.

Secondary Axes

Charts display an argument axis and a value axis by default. You can additionally create as many X and Y axes as you need. Each individual series can use its own axes for visual representation. Thus, you can visually compare trends of multiple series within a single diagram, even if series values differ greatly.

Logarithmic Scales

One of the main benefits of using a chart is to offer end-users a way in which to compare data values. Generally, most chart controls are able to address this requirement successfully when depicted values are within the same range. Comparative analysis, however, falls apart when the data range has significant disparity... Our .NET Charting Control addresses this problem via Logarithmic Scales. By enabling a single property, the chart's numerical axes displays all values using logarithmic equivalents. In short, if the logarithmic base is 10, only 5 uniform axis steps will exist between 10 and 1,000,000.
