Version 4.1 of MindFusion.Charting for Windows Forms includes the following new features -
Funnel ChartFunnel charts are often used to represent the stages of a process and show relative values or measurements associated with each stage. In MindFusion.Charting API, funnel charts can be created using the FunnelChart stand-alone control or a FunnelRenderer instance placed inside a more complex dashboard. FunnelChart inherits from the base Chart class and offers additional customization through its SegmentSpacing and BottomWidth properties.
Interactive range selectionRangeSelector is a scrollbar-like component that lets users scroll or resize currently visible range of chart's data. BiaxialChart shows a horizontal range selector when its ShowXRangeSelector property is enabled, and a vertical one when ShowYRangeSelector is enabled. Scroll ranges are specified using XScrollRangeMin and XScrollRangeMax properties for the X axis, and YScrollRangeMin and YScrollRangeMax properties for Y axis.
Miscellaneous~ Data labels on axes can be drawn rotated. To enable that, set the LabelRotationAngle property of AxisRenderer objects, or XAxisLabelRotationAngle and YAxisLabelRotationAngle of BiaxialChart objects;
~ Legends can display all elements of a series instead of series Title values, which is useful for pie and funnel charts. To enable that mode, set the ShowSeriesElements of LegendRenderer to true, and assign the kind of labels to display to the ElementLabelKind property;
~ SimpleSeries.Labels property lets you change series labels after the instance is created;
~ IFormatProvider CustomFormat property of Axis class lets you set custom formatter for coordinate labels;
~ DateTimeFormat property of Chart and DataBoundsSeries classes let you specify how to format DateTime labels;
~ ShowHighlight and ShowToolTips properties let you disable highlights and tooltips;
~ With AllowZoom enabled, users can now select axis ranges with the mouse by dragging it over either X or Y axis renderer;
