ComponentArt Charting for Silverlight and WPF is a comprehensive set of charting components designed to deliver highly interactive visualization of business data. Featuring brilliant rendering, interactive drill-downs, built-in zooming & scrolling, the ability to handle extremely large datasets and integration with the powerful CalcEngine data processing control.

Line Charts

Line charts are used to visualize a trend in data over intervals of time. Depending on the nature of the pattern being followed, smooth, polygon or step line shapes are appropriate.

ComponentArt XyChart control includes a variety of attractive line styles, ranging from solid, dotted and dashed, in a number of thickness, border and shadow presets. All line charts have been designed with performance in mind first – they can handle any number of data points and series. Scrolling and zooming are built into the control, so interactively analyzing large amounts of data is easy.

Area Charts

Area charts display quantitative data graphically. They are commonly used to represent cumulated totals using numbers or percentages (stacked areas) over time.

ComponentArt XyChart control features a number effective 3D and 2D area chart styles, including translucent gradient, opaque gradient, solid and with a bordered line. Similar to line charts, ComponentArt's area charts are capable handling very large datasets. The built-in scrolling and zooming provide easy interactive analysis of data.

Combination Charts

Combination charts combine multiple chart types to visualize data from several series. Series styles are selected based on semantics, so that the same type of data has the same representation in the chart.

For example, this chart uses stacked columns to show cumulative product sales of three different products – the total representing a company's revenues. Another series – the step area – is used to display the expenses. This effective visualization of a company's profitability is finalized with a custom X axis strip at the bottom of the chart – representing profitable periods with black rectangles and non-profitable ones in red.

Charting Millions of Records (formerly "Ability to Handle Very Large Datasets")

ComponentArt's Charting controls have been designed to handle extremely large amounts of data – measured in millions of records – through a highly effective built-in virtualization system. Chart rendering is never a bottleneck; the controls handle millions of records through the new sampling system which is enabled automatically when large record sets are used. ComponentArt ships an industry-first: an integrated dashboard example showcasing interactive navigation through one million records on the client.

Integration with the Powerful CalcEngine

All Charting controls can directly leverage the powerful data processing capabilities of the CalcEngine control. This enables any number of "computed" series, where statistical, financial or dataset operations can be performed on a dataset through a simple "Calc" expression.

Additionally, CalcEngine enables insertion of custom computed XAML fragments into the control's visual tree, delivering another level of client-side flexibility.

A New Level of Interactivity

Increasing end-user productivity is always our main goal when developing interactive features.

Providing context through animated drill-downs, enabling data point selection and templated popups, interactive zooming & scrolling have all been developed to take productivity and user experience to a whole new level.
