Say Hello to RadSparkline

RadSparkline is an information graphic -- designed to be both lightweight and highly performant. To meet those goals, it does not provide many visual indicators such as an x or y axis, but it does handle anything from just a few data points to many thousands. As you’ll see in our second video, there are a number of features that enhance the utility of RadSparkline, and as you’ll see in the third video, you can bind RadSparkline to line-of-business class data.

Getting Started with RadSparkline

In this video we take a look at how to create the various RadSparkline graphics, including LinearSparkLine, ScatterSparkLine, AreaSparkLine, ColumnSparkLine and finally WinLossSparkline. Each type is illustrated with the same data, so you can easily compare the output.

Sparkline Features

In this video we examine the various properties and settings that you can add to your sparkline to enhance its utility. For example, you can add markers at each data point, you can indicate the high and low points in a set of data, you can indicate the first and last point, and so forth. You can even manage how the sparkline handles empty data points.

Data Binding

In this video we examine how to bind the data from a class to the sparkline. Specifically, we’ll create a Plain Old CLR Object (POCO) and bind it to various Sparkline types to see the data displayed using this lightweight graphic.
