RadCartesianChart Animation

[Steele]

I'm trying to figure out how to animate my chart. There seems to be no default animation. I'm using a simple static example as follows in a child window:

<graph:RadCartesianChart x:Name="chart">

                <graph:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

                    <telerik:CategoricalAxis/>

                </graph:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

                <graph:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>

                    <telerik:LinearAxis Maximum="100"/>

                </graph:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>

                <graph:RadCartesianChart.Series>

                    <telerik:LineSeries Stroke="Orange"

                         StrokeThickness="2">

                        <telerik:LineSeries.DataPoints>

                            <telerik:CategoricalDataPoint Value="20"/>

                            <telerik:CategoricalDataPoint Value="40"/>

                            <telerik:CategoricalDataPoint Value="35"/>

                            <telerik:CategoricalDataPoint Value="40"/>

                            <telerik:CategoricalDataPoint Value="30"/>

                            <telerik:CategoricalDataPoint Value="90"/>

                        </telerik:LineSeries.DataPoints>

                    </telerik:LineSeries>

                </graph:RadCartesianChart.Series>

            </graph:RadCartesianChart>

Hello Steele,

By design there are no animations for our RadChartView control and currently we are not planning to add such.

We are actively encouraging our customers to use the new RadChartView control if they are starting new development projects now. However, as you have noted currently RadChartView is missing some of the features of RadChart (animations in your case) so you need to evaluate whether to use RadChart vs RadChartView on project by project basis and the specific requirements (most of the missing features will be added by Q3 2012 but we are not aiming for 100% feature parity).

Years have passed. Are there any animations?

Hi Jaime,

RadChartView still doesn't support animations, but we have a SDK example that demonstrates how you can implement chart's animations with custom logic. Furthermore, we have such feature request logged in our feedback portal where you can vote for its implementation and track its status.
