Display Vector-based Geographic Data

The C1Maps control supports a vector layer that makes it easy to draw geometries, shapes, polygons and paths with geographical coordinates on top of a map. The vector layer is useful to draw: Political borders (such as countries or states) Geo details (for example, showing automobiles or airplane routes) * Choropleth maps (based on statistical data, such as showing population per country)

TreeMap

Create visually appealing hierarchical data maps with the ASP.NET Wijmo Treemap control. The ComponentOneTreeMap control is a type of chart that displays hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles where the area of each rectangle is proportional to its value.With support for hierarchical data source and easy navigation you can create unbound or data-bound Treemaps in different layouts.

Multiple Layouts

Set different layouts for the Treemap control, you can choose to show the data squarified, horizontally aligned or vertically. The Treemap control gives your application rich visualization with efficient use of space.

Databinding
