BarChart for ASP.NET Web Forms provides the following unique key features:
- HTML5 Charts
What makes these charts superior is that they're powered by Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). SVG is a perfect for creating rich and interactive visualizations in HTML5. Some benefits of charting with SVG include true client-side charting, DOM-friendly charts, hardware accelerated graphics, interactive animations and tooltips, and streaming visualizations. Plus, the charts require no additional plug-ins.
- Column Charts
Easily convert the bar chart to a column chart. It's as simple as setting the C1BarChart's Horizontal property to False.
- Multiple Series
Display multiple series on the bar chart. This is useful when showing two related series of data.
- Stacked Bar Charts
C1BarChart supports a stacked bar. To enable this feature, simply set the Stacked property to True.
- Data Binding
C1BarChart supports binding data from an external data source on the server. Enabling DataBinding is as simple as setting the DataSourceID or DataSource and DataBindings properties. Our Chart supports all of the standard ASP.NET DataSource Controls such as SqlDataSource and all standard DataSource types such as DataTable. DataBinding in our charts is very familiar and can be done at design time or in code.
- Live Data
All ComponentOne charts are optimized for streaming live data. The charts will animate as the data changes and show transitions to visualize the data in the data set.
- Animation
Add special effects to your bar chart. Enable transition settings, where on page load the chart may transition as a bounce, elastic, and so on.
- Tooltips
Associate tooltips and links with chart elements, so the chart responds to mouse events. This is done using an HTML image map, which is handled on the client.
- DateTime
You can format the data as DateTime format strings, for example. The chart automatically generates numeric annotation based on the data itself.
- Appearance
C1BarChart's rich set of properties allow you to change the look and feel of your chart. Modify its appearance with different colors for series and for items in a series, and shadows for the Chart elements. For a better UX, the position, size, and color are also adjustable.
- Automatic Axis
C1BarChart automatically creates the chart axes.
- Axis Origin
The C1BarChart control supports negative values and can display them nicely using the Origin property for each axis. The Origin property tell the axis where to draw its starting point. This is optimal for displaying positive and negative values on the same chart.
- Labels
Increase the readability of the bar chart with labels. Highlight an important data point, or provide information on data or on the chart.
- Full Cross-browser Compatibility
Ensure your UI works in every browser and every device without worrying about compatibility issues. Create interactive charts that render just as well in IE6 as they do on an iPad. ComponentOne ASP.NET Charts support these popular browsers: IE6+, Firefox 3+, Safari 3+, and Chrome.
