Secondary Y Axis

Telerik ASP.NET Chart supports secondary Y Axis, which provides the means to display a second scale of measurements. The Y axis also supports logarithmic scaling convenient when you would like to display rapidly increasing values.

See demo

Top
Numerical X Axis

The X axis of RadChart can be easily set as a numerical axis. As a result, you can set the series items to their appropriate location depending on their XValue property. This is especially important when you receive data which may not have a specific x value, such as data relying on dates.

Design-time Chart Wizard

Building charts of any complexity is now much easier thanks to the new visual Chart Wizard which is available in the design-view. This wizard helps you traverse the many properties of the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Chart by providing the most commonly used properties in an intuitive interface. 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 that can be found in, for example MS SQL, Oracle, MySQL, Access ODBC as well as XML data sources. Business objects in multiple-tier scenarios are also a common source for data. The Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Chart allows automatic binding to all of these using either standard Microsoft supplied data source controls or dynamic binding. The end result is shown in the chart immediately at design-time.

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

Top
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 and the chart control also provides a fine-grained API that allows you to enable wrapping for all elements, or alternatively on individual element basis.

AJAX Zooming and Scrolling

Zooming and scrolling features allow users to explore portions of large charts in details with excellent performance either manually or programmatically. 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.

See demo

Top
Empty Values

If your dataset is missing a value RadChart will automatically approximate values between known data points. This works for bar, line and area based chart types. You also have complete control over the visual style of empty values which can be specified separately from the style for the main values.

See demo

Top
Scale Breaks 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 the YAxis and the YAxis2 of the plot area. You can tailor the maximum number of breaks, the minimum interval between data points before a break can occur, as well as the visual size of the breaks and the visual style of the breaks.

See demo

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 maps 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.

See demo

Top
Marked Zones

Marked zones are ranges that can be labeled and filled to highlight areas of the chart or to visually group data. You can create any number of marked zones and each marked zone and control the labeling and appearance for each zone independently.

See demo

Top
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 and Accessibility Standards Compliancy

The Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Chart is compliant with the XHTML 1.1 requirement. The RadChart also follows Section 508 compliance and falls under the W3C Compliance Level “AAA” as defined by the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0/2.0.

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 a series, and 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 and allow for a very stylish chart without any additional programming.
