Chart Axes Features:

• Axes Position:
  • Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes - Supports an unlimited number of X and Y Axes. You can specify the X and Y axis on which each chart series is scaled. Advanced settings allow you to make use of axis crossings, docking and percent positioning.
  • Advanced positioning options - The axes of the component can be docked to the chart sides (or polar rim) or crossed at value with some other axis. In addition axes can share parts of the chart plot.
  • Special options for Polar axes - The special options for Polar axes include advanced settings for Polar axes position and annotation.
• Scale Types:
  • Ordinal Scale - Allows you to display ordinal (categorical) data.
  • Numeric and Logarithmic Scale - Allows you to display any data in numeric format (profit, sales, percentages etc.)
  • DateTime Scale - General date time scale suitable for the display of date time data.
  • Value Timeline Scale - The Value Timeline Scale is an advanced date-time scale, most commonly used in financial charts.
  • Range Timeline Scale - Advanced date time scale most commonly used in financial and project management charts.
  • Angular Scale - Allows you to display angular data in degrees and grads (used in polar charts).
  • Hierarchical Scale - The Hierarchical scale allows you to display grouped categorical data.
• Scale Properties:
  • Title - The Title functionalities of the component provide control over the chart axis title text, appearance, position and angle.
  • Ruler - Control over the begin/end ruler caps as well as option to highlight scale breaks on the ruler.
  • Range - Control over the range displayed by the axis. Ability to inflate that range in several modes.
  • Gridlines - Control over the major and minor gridlines appearance.
  • Ticks - Ticks are usually represented as lines and can appear on both sides of the scale ruler. In NOV scales define two types of ticks – major and minor. The Ticks functionalities of the component provide control over the appearance and position of the minor and major ticks of the chart axis.
  • Stripes - Ability to highlight repeating ranges of data on the chart walls, with controllable show / hide pattern.
  • Sections - Ability to conditionally modify the appearance of axis decorations (tick, gridlines and labels) if they fall in a specified range. This feature allows you to highlight important ranges of data on the axis.
  • Const Lines - Ability to show constant (reference) lines at specified value. Const lines are lines displayed at axis values and are usually used to display some chart specific limit or targeted value.
  • Scale Breaks - Scale Breaks skip a range of values on the axis to increase the readability of the chart. NOV Chart for .NET provides support for manual and automatic scale breaks with full control over appearance and behavior. X and Y scale breaks can be crossed.
  • Label Layout - Ability to control how the axis must resolve label overlapping and layout options.
  • Label Formatting - Ability to control the label formatting on numeric scales - including many advanced options for currency, percentage, scientific and date time label formatting.

Other Features:

• Non-Overlapping Data Labels Layout - Data point labels of Cartesian, Polar and Radar charts can be automatically re-arranged in order to avoid overlaps and ensure maximum visibility for the chart elements.
• Flexible integrated legend - The Legend functionalities of the component include lots of predefined styles, positions and data layout strategies. Header and Footer.
• Ability to display several charting types simultaneously - Advanced chart margins and fit strategy control.
• Ability to display several chart series simultaneously - Making a chart type combination chart has never been easier and more flexible.
• Ability to display multiple charts and legends - Charts can be described on one or more legends. Legends can describe multiple charts.
• Labels - Headers, footers as well as custom positioned labels.
• Interactivity - The Interactivity functionalities of the component include tools like Data Zoom, Data Pan, Tooltip, Mouse Cursor and others.
• Hit Test capabilities - Support for hit testing the control in order to get the chart element under a specified position.
• Serialization Support - The control supports serialization/deserialization of its state to a file or stream.
• Image Export - The control supports image export in the following formats: BMP, JPEG, PNG and PDF.
