Does Winform Chart control have 3D graph rendering support?

[santosh]

Hi Telrik,

I'm in process of evaluating the suitability of the telerik UI component particularly the Chart control. As per our requirement, we need to render different types of 2D and 3D charts. I know the WPF chart control best suits this requirement, but WinForm chart control is of more interest to me because of its inticipated ease of integration with my application. The problem is - I can't find a way to render 3D
charts with Winform chart control. Some links in this forum also suggests that Winform chart control
does not support 3D chart rendering.

Does this(WinForm chart control not supporting 3D graphs) holds true even now? If yes, would it be possible to fix this in near future? If this is already fix, could you please provide a sample test application that demonstrate 3D chart rendering using WinForm Chart?

kind regards
Santosh

To further clarify my requirement, by 3D graphs I mean a graph plotted between three related quantities represented by x, y and z axis on the graph. Just displaying the 2D graph(with x & y axis) in 3D view(changing inclination, rotation, perspective etc) doesn’t fit into the requirement.

could you please let me know if telerik UI components support such features?

Thanks for the reply, Evgenia

I have one more query regarding 3D graphs support in your WPF chart component. Does this component(WPF Chart component) support 3DSurface graph?

I browsed through the telerik website and found that the component supports the following 16 types of 3D graphs:

1.     Bar

2.     Pie

3.     Doughtnut

4.     Bubble

5.     Funnel

6.     Line

7.     Pyramid

8.     Spline

9.     Spline Area

10.  Stacked Spline Area

11.  Stacked Spline Area 100

12.  Area

13.  Stacked Area

14.  Stacked Area 100

15.  StackedBar

16.  StackedBar 100

This list doesn’t include 3DSurface graph. Could please confirm whether your WPF chart component supports 3DSurface graph?

Kind regards

Hello Santosh,

Currently we don't support such type of Chart for WPF. However your feedback was forwarded to our developers and they'll decide whether and when this will be made for one of our future releases.
