We have released version 1.9 of MindFusion.Charting for WPF. It contains the following new features:
Real-time ChartThe RealTimeChart control is optimized to render animated line chart graphics of large amounts of data. That's implemented by moving already rendered elements from the WPF visual tree to a cache bitmap, relying that new data is added incrementally rather than changing coordinates of old data points. The library also offers various customization options for the chart - scatters, multiple legends, multiple Y and Y2 axes, custom labels, tooltips, grid.
3D Charts~ All 3D charts now support unlimited number of series.
~ New property Lights holds a collection of Light objects instead of the LightType property.
~ Detailed hit testing, which returns a ChartHitTestResult3D that contains the clicked 3D point, the normalized 3D point, a collection of chart elements (if found), and the nearest peak (in surface charts).
~ AllowMeshSelection property, which when enabled allows selection of mesh objects with a mouse click. The MeshSelectionBrush sets the brush for the selection.
~ Behavior3D property, which lets you choose how the chart responds to mouse interactions.
~ Improved performance for all chart types.
Surface Charts~ SurfaceType property, which sets whether scatters or surface is drawn.
~ SurfaceSeries.GroundLevelMargin property, which sets the GroundLevel-offset.
~ Each Series3D can be clipped in a given range with the ClipMinimum and ClipMaximum properties.
~ TextureType property sets the texture of the chart - Brush or ColorMap.
~ New ColorMapList property, which sets a Color map with arbitrary colors and offsets.
~ CloseModelFigure property, which closes the sides of the model if enabled.
Miscellaneous~ ShowCrossHair renders a cross hair that will trace the mouse position over the plot area.
~ Enable the LineSeries.Curve property to draws lines as canonical splines.
