    WPF: RadChart Layout Customization

    Today we would like to highlight one exciting feature that will find its way into the new RadChart control for WPF -- the control grants you the absolute freedom to compose its layout based on your business requirements and not the other way around. This effectively means that you can add an unlimited number of chart building blocks (chart areas, legends, and titles) so we will demonstrate now how easy the layout customization can be. Basically the control provides three options for layout customization: RadChart comes with a default preset layout (a single chart area, legend, and title) but you have complete...

    Build a slideshow with RadChart and RadRotator for WinForms in minutes

    Last week we got an interesting request from a customer of ours – he wanted to add several RadCharts in the RadRotator control and to implement custom slideshow. The idea was so appealing that I decided to shoot a quick blog about it. We already have similar image slideshows and I must say it is a pretty cool way to give your WinForms app a modern style and appeal: http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/submission/b311D-bdhadm.aspx Even though it is very easy to add RadChart directly to the rotator (by using RadHostItem), RadRotator performs much better with images and/or other windowless RadItems. This is why...

    RadChart: Auto Text-wrapping

    Hello, With the Q1 2008 release date closing-in fast, I'd like to present to you yet another big improvement that will be introduced in the new version of RadChart -- automatic text-wrapping support. So what's it all about?  RadChart 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.

    RadChart: AutoLayout

    Hello, We have been quite busy lately here in the Charting Labs and I would like to draw your attention on another slick feature we are adding to the Charting toolset -- RadChart AutoLayout. 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. Here are a few samples that illustrate the described functionality: AutoLayout calculates the necessary space for all elements so they are fully readable and not clipped (notice the axis item labels --...
