Do you have any plans for canvas based visualization components?
Infragistics is demoing html5 canvas based charts with 500,000 data points where you can zoom in on specific points. Just wondering if a similar story exists for SVG, performance wise does this translate? Did you do any published analysis on this?
In the past, the recommended LOB path would have been a plugin (silverlight) to show this amount of data. Now that this is available with a canvas it is tempting for LOB applications.

Hi,
the Telerik team
Even iterating over 500,000 points will bring the browser down, so it comes down to clever data handling. There's no need to render invisible points or points that occupy the same pixels. In other words, SVG is not the limiting factor in this scenario. Using a Canvas has its advantages, but its stateless nature is a major drawback, especially for interactive features.
This feature is important and we are looking forward to implement in Kendo. Stay tuned for the Q2 roadmap.
Kind regards,
the Telerik team
