• Secondary Y Axis

  Telerik ASP.NET Chart supports secondary Y Axis, which provides the means to display series from different orders. Each chart series has now YAxisType property which sets the corresponding Y axis. The Y axis also supports logarithmic scaling.

• Numerical X Axis

  The X axis of RadChart can now be easily set as a numerical axis. As a result, you can set the series items on the right location depending on their XValue property. This is especially important when you receive data, which does not come on a regular basis and the chart has a time axis.

  Although it is numerical axis it can display date time data by simple conversion to DateTime.ToOADate( ) method 8/1/2008 -> 39667.

• Design-time Chart Wizard

  Building charts of any complexity is now much easier thanks to the new visual Chart Wizard. It helps you traverse the many properties of the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Chart by providing the most commonly used properties in an intuitive way. Through the wizard, you can quickly set up the basic structure of your chart. All modifications are previewed in real-time in the Visual Studio Design surface and can be completely rolled back if needed.

• Powerful Databinding

  Many business applications rely on database data, for example MS SQL, Oracle, MySQL, Access ODBC as well as XML data and business objects in multiple-tier scenarios.  The Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Chart allows automatic binding to all of these using either standard Microsoft supplied data source controls. The end result is shown in the chart immediately at design-time.

• AJAX Zooming and Scrolling

  Zooming and scrolling features allow users to explore portions of large charts in details with excellent performance. The user can zoom to a portion of the chart by dragging and selecting with the mouse (see left-most image below) to set a new scale for the chart. AJAX retrieves the visible "chunk" of the chart that was selected. The user can continue to navigate the chart by scrolling.

• Image Maps and Drill-Down

  Image maps are visual areas within the chart that allow you to define interactive areas within an image. They can be used for navigating to different pages and displaying tool tips. The image pamps areas can appear for many of the chart UI elements, including labels, chart series items, titles, etc.  Image maps can be also used to implement Drill-Down user interfaces, whereby a sub-set of data is displayed when the user clicks on a data point or corresponding legend item.

• AutoLayout functionality

  The AutoLayout functionality instructs the control to perform out-of-the-box layout arrangement that provides optimal utilization of the whole chart area and ensures that all chart elements are fully readable and do not overlap with one another.
  
  See demo

• Auto Text-wrapping

  Telerik ASP.NET Chart introduces automatic Notepad-like word-wrapping functionality for the following text elements:
  

  • Chart Title
  • Chart Legend Item Labels
  • Axis Item Labels
  • Axis Labels
  • MarkedZone Labels
  • EmptySeriesMessage Label
  • DataTable-related text elements

  Automatic text-wrapping will be disabled by default but the chart control provides fine-grained API that allows you to enable wrapping for all elements, or alternatively on individual element basis.
  
  See demo

• Empty Values

  The ASP.NET Chart control by Telerik automatically approximates missing values between known data points, simply by setting the Empty property true on any chart series item. This works for bar, line and area based chart types. You also have complete control over the visual style of empty values. The empty value style can be articulated separately from the style for the main values.
   
  See demo

• Scalebreaks Support

  The ScaleBreaks feature allows you to "break off" large chunks of the axis so that graphs with large amplitude are easier to read. ScaleBreaks are available for both YAxis and YAxis2 of the plot area. You can tailor the maximum number of breaks, the minimum interval between data points before a break can occur, the visual size of the breaks and the visual style of the breaks.

• Flexible API

  RadChart provides you with a fine-grained API that guarantees you full control over various programmatic operations such as setting item values, adding or removing data series and handling postback events. The client-side API provides desktop-like experience, as some parameters can be changed without posting back to the server.

• XHTML standards compliancy

  The Telerik ASP.NET Chart is compliant with the XHTML 1.1 requirement.

• Appearance

  RadChart offers full control over its appearance. It provides a rich set of properties allowing you to style and modify the look and feel of your chart. You can also achieve different colors for series and for items in series, or even shadows for the Chart elements. The position, size, color and blur are adjustable for better user experience. You can also choose to stream your charts in 10 different formats, including all popular web-formats - .jpg, .gif, and .png. This option enables you to optimize the quality and memory size of your chart images.
  
  Additionally, RadChart is shipped with a rich set of skins that allow you to easily build slick interfaces for all chart types. The skins can be easily switched using a single property.
