We have released version 1.8 of MindFusion.Charting for WPF. It contains the following new features:

Styles and Themes
Styles define the appearance of individual chart elements such as the axis, the series and the legend. Each ChartTheme contains a collection of styles and defines the overall chart appearance. With MindFusion.Charting for WPF 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 WPF.

Improved Design Time Support
Now MindFusion.Charting for WPF lets you edit all collection properties, including the Series collection, the brushes and strokes in design time through the property grid.

Axis Intervals
The 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 value of each interval based on AxisSettings.Min, AxisSettings.Max and AxisSettings.IntervalCount.

Miscellaneous
~ ChartSeries.Fills, ChartSeries.Strokes, LineSeries.ScatterFills, LineSeries.ScatterStrokes are now of type BrushCollection. The change was required by the new design time support features.
~ a bug with the Series property in the ChartLegend was fixed.

Registered customers with an active upgrade subscription can download the licensed version from the clients area on our site.
