What's New 2024 Q4

Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX Chart Series Enhanced with a Pyramid Chart

Leverage the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX Pyramid Chart to visualize a single series of data in progressively increasing proportions. These data series are organized into segments where one represents the value for the particular item from the series. The values of the items also influence the height and the shape of the corresponding segments.

Pyramid Charts are suitable when you want to compare and contrast your data, communicate data in an easy-to-read format, understand large amounts of data quickly or display the relative proportions of different items. This Chart series is often used to represent stages in a priority process, population visualization, singular datasets, etc.
