Key Features

Chart for WPF and Silverlight includes the following unique features:

  • 40+ Chart Types


    Get the exact chart representation you need for your Silverlight application by choosing from over 30 popular 2D chart types. Available chart types include line, scatter, bar, column, pie, area and many more.

  • Professionally Designed with Just Two Properties


    Chart includes 12 built-in themes and 22 built-in palettes. Both are set with just one property inside Visual Studio! Themes apply to the entire chart area while palettes apply to just the chart elements (bars, points, pie slices, etc). Combine themes with different palettes to effortlessly make an endless combination of looks.

  • Labels and Tooltips


    Display relative data values over chart elements as labels or tooltips. Any UI elements can be used as labels and tooltips allowing full customization.

  • Chart Legends


    Create a separate chart legend using the C1ChartLegend control that connects to the chart through one property. This design provides maximum flexibility when styling and positioning the legend.

  • Fully Interactive Charts


    Enhance the end-user experience by allowing end users to zoom in and out, scale, and scroll the chart.

  • Multiple Axes


    Chart supports multiple, dependent axes that are added to the chart by simply defining an Axis object and adding it to the chart’s View.Axes collection.

  • Logarithmic Axis Scales


    Chart supports logarithmic axis scales of any base.

  • Trend Lines


    Analyze your charted data with trend lines. Chart supports several automatic trend lines including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, power, fourier, averages, minimums and maximums.

  • Lighting and Shadow Effects


    Create borders with lighting effects and add soft or hard shadows behind plot elements.

  • Stacked Charts


    Stacking charts offers a simplified approach for representing complex data. Line, area, bar, radar, and plot charts can be stacked to display more complex data in a smaller space.

  • Dynamic Graphics


    Chart takes advantage of the dynamic graphics available in the Silverlight platform including perspective and animation.

  • Silverlight Toolkit Themes Support (Silverlight Only)


    In addition to the 12 built-in themes, Chart ships with the most popular Microsoft Silverlight Toolkit themes including ExpessionDark, ExpressionLight, WhistlerBlue, RainerOrange, ShinyBlue, and BureauBlack.

  • XBAP Support (WPF Only)


    C1Chart is fully compatible with the XBAP deployment capabilities of Windows Presentation Foundation. The XBAP deployment allows publishing to the client’s (supported) browser for a full featured application without a Windows installation.
