    Scatter Your Data – Now!

    The chart component for the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC is a rapidly expanding MVC component. Not only are we adding many new features, but we’re also increasing the available chart types. With the introduction of Q3 2011 we were able to start using two new chart types - Scatter and Scatter Line. Both types allow you to plot points anywhere on your chart area, as long as you provide each point with X and Y values. Let’s take a look at how you can implement these chart types, as well as take use of some new features introduced in...
