We have released version 1.2 of MindFusion.Charting for Silverlight. It contains the following new features:
Styles and ThemesStyles define the appearance of a given chart element - the axis, the series, the legend. Each ChartTheme is a collection of styles. With MindFusion.Charting for Silverlight you can now:
- create themes based on the appearance of an existing chart
- create themes with the ThemeEditor tool
- save themes to XML files
- load themes from XML files
- use a number of predefined themes.
The
Working with Themes tutorial gives detailed information on how to create, save, load and edit themes with MindFusion.Charting for Silverlight.
Axis IntervalsThe new AxisSettings.IntervalCount property lets you specify the exact number of intervals at the axis. In such case the control does not use the Interval property and calculates the size of each interval based on AxisSettings.Min, AxisSettings.Max and AxisSettings.IntervalCount.
Design Time SupportMindFusion.Charting for Silverlight lets you now edit all collection properties, including the Series collection, the brushes and strokes in design time through the Visual Studio property grid.
API ChangesChartSeries.Fills, ChartSeries.Strokes, LineSeries.ScatterFills, LineSeries.ScatterStrokes and other properties that were lists with Brush-es are now of type BrushCollection. The change was required by the new design time support features. The properties that are lists with labels or data values are now of type StringCollection and DoubleCollection respectively.
