Spline Chart
A Spline chart, as part of the ASP.NET AJAX Chart, is a form of line/area chart where each data point from the series is connected with a fitted curve that represents a rough approximation of the missing data points. You could plot the following series with a spline interpolation: AreaSeries, LineSeries, ScatterLineSeries, RadarLineSeries, RadarAreaSeries, PolarLineSeries and PolarAreaSeries. Telerik added the spline chart in Q1 2014.
You can display a fitted curve through the data points from the series by setting the LineAppearance.LineStyle property of the series to "Smooth". For example:
<telerik:AreaSeries Name="Area Series">
<LineAppearance LineStyle="Smooth" />
</telerik:AreaSeries>The code in Example 1 will show you how to build spline series in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Data points in area and line series are connected through interpolated curves. The code in Example 1 illustrates how to setup spline area and line series.
Example 1: Creating a chart that has two spline series - AreaSeries and LineSeries. Spline functionality is enabled by simply setting the LineAppearance.LineStyle property of the series to "Smooth"
