ワークフローを合理化し、目次の自動生成を提供するレポートコンポーネントでレポートの明確さを向上

Reporting components streamline document creation by offering automatic Table of Contents (TOC) generation. This feature scans a document for designated headings, like titles and subtitles, and builds a clickable index at the beginning. This not only enhances professionalism but also improves user experience by allowing for easy navigation within lengthy reports. Automatic TOC generation proves particularly valuable for complex documents, research papers, and technical manuals, where readers might need to quickly jump to specific sections.

Several WinForms reporting components support Table of Contents (TOC) features, including:

周期的または角度的なデータの可視化と解析

LightningChart .NET v12では、強度値を含む複雑な極座標データを視覚化するための新しい極ヒートマップ/強度グリッド系列タイプを追加

LightningChart .NET is a high-performance data visualization library designed for .NET developers working with WPF, WinForms, and UWP applications. It offers GPU-accelerated rendering for smooth real-time visualization of massive datasets, exceeding billions of data points. This library supports a wide variety of chart types, including 2D, 3D, polar, and geographic maps, along with extensive customization options for each. LightningChart .NET is a powerful tool for developers creating demanding data visualization applications requiring exceptional performance.

The LightningChart v12 update introduces the Polar Heatmap / IntensityGrid series (IntensityGridSeriesPolar), specifically designed for visualizing complex polar data with intensity values. Polar Heatmap charts utilizes a circular coordinate system to visualize data. One axis represents angles (thetas) while the other, known as amplitude, represents the distance from a central point (radii). Color intensity encodes the data values, effectively creating a circular heatmap that reveals both directional trends (angles) and variations in magnitude (amplitude) within the data. This chart type excels at analyzing cyclical or angular data, making it ideal for applications like wind speed and direction or seasonal variations throughout the year.

To see a full list of what's new in v12.0, see our release notes.

LightningChart .NET is available per developer in packages for either WPF, WinForms, UWP or all 3. Each package comes as a subscription license (with 1 or 2 years of limited support), or a perpetual license (with 1 or 2 years of Standard or Premium support). Floating licenses and site licenses are available upon request. See our LightningChart .NET licensing page for full details.

NOV Diagram for .NET 2024.1では、レイヤー機能の導入により、複雑な作図プロジェクトの設計管理を強化

NOV Diagram for .NET by Nevron is a comprehensive and feature-rich diagramming framework designed for .NET developers to create specialized diagramming and drawing applications. Including most of the functionality found in Microsoft Visio, it offers an array of features such as high-performance rendering, a rich set of predefined shapes, automatic layout algorithms, and extensive input/output capabilities. This tool facilitates the integration of complex visualizations directly into WinForms, WPF, Blazor, and Xamarin.Mac projects for developing sophisticated diagramming solutions while maintaining responsiveness and user interactivity.

The NOV Diagram for .NET 2024.1 update introduces a new layers feature which gives developers greater control over complex diagram designs. Enabling the segregation of different visual components into distinct layers allows for better organization, making it easier to manage intricate diagrams that require multiple overlapping elements. This functionality means that each page item can now be assigned to a layer, which can be independently manipulated, hidden, or locked without affecting others. This provides a more streamlined workflow and reduces the likelihood of errors during both development and runtime.

集計によるデータ分析の合理化

6月 17, 2024
合計、平均、最小/最大などのWinFormsグリッド集計関数を活用して、主要な分析インサイトをグリッドに直接表示

Aggregation in is the process of summarizing or combining multiple data points into a single value to provide a comprehensive overview of the dataset. Commonly used in grids, this technique can include operations such as calculating sums, averages, counts, minimums, and maximums, and is crucial for efficiently analyzing large volumes of data. It enhances data interpretability by reducing complexity, allowing users to quickly identify trends, patterns, and outliers. It can also improve performance by reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed and displayed, making it easier to manage and interact with extensive datasets.

Several WinForms grid components support aggregation, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) ships with numerous data shaping and analysis options, enabling users to aggregate data directly in the grid.
  • FlexGrid for WinForms (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) is a datagrid offering built-in grouping, sorting and aggregation functions.
  • Telerik UI for WinForms GridView (part of Telerik UI for WinForms) facilitates data analysis via comprehensive aggregation, providing data summary with totals and averages.
  • Infragistics WinDataGrid (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for Windows Forms) comes with various aggregation options, including sum, average, min, and max in WinForms apps.
