  • The Ternary Point series displays point in a ternary coordinate system. Each point is specified by its A, B and C values which sum to a constant.
  • Ternary Bubble Series:
  • The Ternary Bubble series displays bubbles in a ternary coordinate system. Each bubble is specified by its A, B and C values which sum to a constant and also has a fourth parameter that determines its size.
  • Point Series Droplines:
  • The Point Series now supports drop lines. Drop lines are lines which extend from the point X, Y, Z value to the chart walls. Optionally drop lines can extend to the axis Min, Max value or to a user specified value (drop lines origin).
  • Bar Connector Lines:
  • The Bar Series now supports connector lines between adjacent bars.
  • Float Bar Connector Lines and Gantt Connector Lines"
  • The Float Bar Series now supports connector lines between adjacent bars begin / end values. In addition it also supports Gantt connector between the bar end value and one or more bars begin values. This feature allows you to easily display Gantt charts.
  • Heat Map Contour Labels:
  • The Heat Map Series supports annotated contours. The user can specify the formatting of the contour value (elevation). the distance between labels along the contour, whether the labels orientation must follow the contour slope, whether the label should clip the contour line it annotates and others.
  • Heat Map Cross Section:
  • The Heat Map Series can generate a list of points that form the contour cross section which is defined by crossing the heat map with a plane defined by two points that lie on the map.
  • Grid Surface Horizontal and Vertical Cross Section:
  • The grid surface supports extraction of the grid surface profile (cross section) which is generated by intersecting the surface with a horizontal plane or an arbitrary vertical cross plane.
  • Step Line Intersections:
  • The Step Line series supports intersection with arbitrary X or Y value.
  • Annotation Drag Tool:
  • The Annotation Drag Tool allows the user to interactively drag annotations attached to different chart anchors (data points, scale coordinates, legend items etc.).
  • Range Selection Drag Tool:
  • The Range Selection Drag Tool allows the users to interactively drag and resize a range selection object.
  • Volume Selection Tool:
  • This tool allows you to interactively select a 3D volume defined by four planes (left, top, right and bottom) that can be later used to quickly check whether a 3D point is contained in the volume enclosed by the selection planes.
  • Panel Zoom Tool:
  • This tool allows you to interactively zoom in or out an area of the panel.
  • Better WPF Integration:
  • Nevron Chart for WFP now has better WFP integration. The control has also has many new examples for WFP.

New in Nevron .NET Vision 2016.1 Build 16.7.7.12 (Aug 2, 2016)

  • Polar Range Series:
  • The Polar Range series displays ranges in a polar coordinate system. Each range is specified by its begin and end values and its begin and end angle.
  • Polar Vector Series:
  • The Polar Vector series displays vectors in a polar coordinate system. Each vector is specified by its begin and end values and its begin and end angle.
  • Quick Point Series:
  • The Quick Point series can display massive amounts of data - it has a reduced features set compared the standard Point Series, however it is much faster in both 2D and 3D.
  • Palette Filling for Area, Bar, Float Bar, High Low and Smooth Area series:
  • The Area, Bar, Float Bar, High Low and Smooth Area Series now can have their filling specified as a user defined color / value palette. This feature is supported in both 2D and 3D charts.
  • Table Scale:
  • The Table Scale is a new type of scale that allows the visualization of tables attached to chart axes. This feature is commonly used to annotate the X axis of categorical stacked or cluster charts.
  • Graphics Path Series:
  • The Graphics Path Series displays can display an arbitrary figure defined by lines and bezier segments.
  • Radar Axis Custom Angle:
  • The Radar Axis Anchors has been extended to allow custom angle position for the radar axis.

New in Nevron .NET Vision 2014.1 (Jul 23, 2014)

  • Hardware accelerated rendering:
  • Both the Chart and Diagram controls in the suite have been extended to support hardware accelerated rendering. In addition both controls feature additional performance improvements. This makes them ideal for high-speed data acquisition software, oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, scientific charting, GIS, medical, Big Data BI and other real-time data visualization applications.
  • Full spectrum of dot net technologies:
  • Along with WinForms, MVC and ASP.NET, Nevron Chart now contains a WPF control as well, allowing developers to target the full spectrum of .NET technologies from a single code base.
  • Data storage optimized:
  • The Chart data storage has been redesigned for better performance, ease of data import and visualization of large amounts of data.
  • Several million data points on surface chart:
  • The Chart Surface Series have been improved to handle large data sets (in the order of several million of data points).
  • Fine-tuned desktop interactivity:
  • The Chart Desktop interactivity has been improved to support animated zooming, axis element hit testing and more efficient panel selection.
  • Custom markers on any chart:
  • Until recently only some of the 170+chart types we offer supported custom markers. With this major release things changed and now all Chart Series have been extended to support custom data markers.
  • Label and legend item improvements:
  • Legend and Data label texts support has been improved with the addition of several properties allowing the user to control the text wrapping and maximum width of texts.
  • Fine-tuned ThinWeb interactivity:
  • ThinWeb Chart and Diagram controls interactivity has been slightly improved with the addition of better mouse capture functionality and new interactivity tools.

New in Nevron .NET Vision 2010.1 (Apr 9, 2010)

  • Nevron Chart for .NET 2010 Vol.1 introduces:
  • Localization Support: The chart is now fully localizable. If you are interested in developing a localized charting solution ask us for a localization dictionary or take the time to localize the chart by yourself, by translating the dictionary provided with Nevron .NET Vision.
  • XY and XYZ Clustered Point Series: The Point series has been extended to support clustering in both 2D and 3D mode. Clustering is a feature that allows you visualize large data sets with fewer visual points, by grouping points that are very close to each other.
  • XY and XYZ Sampled Line Series: The Line series has been extended to support sampling in both 2D and 3D. Sampling is a feature that groups together adjacent line segments and analyzes their minimum and maximum values as well as the line overall direction for these segments. Instead of plotting a line segment for each individual pair of points in the data set when using sampling the line series paints grouped points. This allows for the interactive visualization of lines with hundreds of thousands of data points.
  • XY Sampled Area Series: The Area series has been extended to support sampling in 2D. When using sampling, the area will ignore settings for markers and data labels and will also automatically resample the data storage depending on the size of the chart on the screen. This allows for the visualization of massive amount of data.
  • Work Calendar: All date/time related scales supported by the component (date time scale, value timeline scale and range timeline scale) now support a feature allowing them to skip date time ranges from the scale. This feature is commonly used in financial and project management applications, where non working days and hours are not plotted.
  • Style Sheets: The predefined styles sheets have been extended with four new style sheets - Black, Black Multicolor, White and White Multi Color. Both predefined and custom styles sheets can now be serialized in binary and XML format.
  • State Indicators: The embedded gauges in the component now support state indicators. State indicators are used to represent a value as a visual state and are useful in various types of dashboards.
  • Vector Image Export: The component can now export to the following vector formats - PDF, SWF (Flash), XAML (Silverlight), EMF (Extended Metafile).
  • Flash Animations: When exporting in Flash image format the component can now generate animated charts. You can apply predefined animation themes to the control or individual charts, or create your own animations based on the extensive set of available animation options.
  • Nevron Diagram for .NET 2010 Vol.1 introduces:
  • Windows Forms Control Hosting: Any Windows Forms control can now be integrated into the drawing document. Drawings that embed windows forms controls can be serialized. WinForm controls serialization is implemented as a design surface (very similar to the one that Visual Studio uses).
  • Localization Support: The diagram is now fully localizable. If you are interested in developing a localized diagramming solution ask us for a localization dictionary or take the time to localize the diagram by yourself, by translating the dictionary provided with Nevron .NET Vision.
  • Diagram Layout Improvements: Performance improvements in the following layouts: Layered Graph, Orthogonal, Radial, Single Cycle, Balloon.
  • Some layouts (for example the Orthogonal Graph Layout) can now take advantage of multicore CPUs to improve performance even more.
  • Force directed layouts now have a property MaxTime that determines the maximum time the layout is allowed to operate. When this time is exceeded the layout is interrupted and the results produced by the current iteration are used.
  • Map Improvements: Support for value and range fill rules. This feature helps you colorize any map in a data driven fashion.
  • Support data binding to external tables. This feature helps you natively extend the information available for each ESRI shape, by attaching tabular data to maps.
  • No need for dBASE driver for reading dbf map data.
  • Miscellaneous Improvements: The TextureMapping layout of texture fill styles (Gradient, Advanced Gradient, Hatch and Image) is now honored by path primitives. In RelativeToViewer mode when you rotate shapes the texture will not rotate. In RelativeToObject mode when you rotate shapes textures will rotate too. Older versions rendered path primitives always with RelativeToViewer texture mapping (e.g. RelativeToObject was not supported).
  • The drawing preview manager has an option to suppress shape reconnection on shape move and drag and drop. When ReconnectOnMove is true the diagram will behave as it did before - reconnect the moved/drag-dropped shapes. When ReconnectOnMove is false the diagram will not break shape connections on move (1D shapes plugs and 2D shapes outward port connections).
  • The NMouseWheelScrollAndZoomTool has been redesigned to allow arbitrary configuration of whether zoom and/or scroll must be performed on normal or control keys modified mouse wheel.
  • Vector Image Export: The diagram can now be exported to the following additional vector image formats: PDF, Flash, Silverlight, EMF (Extended Metafile).
  • Flash Animations: When exporting to Flash image format the diagram can now generate animated drawings. Animation options are implemented as a style attribute and are available for each shape.
