Choose from over 80 variations of all popular 2D and 3D chart types including bar, line, area, pie, and advanced chart types like bubble, candle, gantt, polar, radar, and contour surface. See the Chart Types page for all available chart types with screenshots.

Establish data binding at design-time or at runtime through code. Just choose which data fields should be bound to X and Y (and sometimes Y2 and Z) for each data series. Chart also supports binding to value arrays. Just use the CopyIn methods to populate your charts with arrays at run-time.

Add alarm zones to your charts to draw attention to certain values or ranges. Specify ranges along an axis or draw a rectangle that highlights an area of interest, such as plot points that fall in a dangerously low zone.

Chart can automatically generate trend lines based on your data points including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, power, fourier, averages, minimums and maximums. Trend lines are automatically re-calculated any time a data value changes.

• Turn on anti-aliasing for smoother drawing of all chart elements.
• Add 3D effects for most 2D charts including line, area, bar, pie and step.
• Graphically enhance chart elements using the Visual Effects editor. Apply angle, gradient, intensity, scaling, and shape to change the effects of the light source.
• Choose from 15 different chart symbols for plotted points (circle, square, star, etc).
• Choose from 22 different color schemes for plot elements or customize your own.
• Add alpha-transparencies and hatch styles to plot elements.

When you have a substantial amount of X-values or Y-values in your chart data, you can add a scrollbar to the axes. Adding a scrollbar can make the data on the chart easier to read by scrolling through it so you can closely view pieces of data one at a time. Scrolling is also useful when the chart area is zoomed in on.

Chart allows you to print and preview your chart. Specify scaling and page settings or use the default values. Preview your chart in grayscale when using non-color printers.

Save time with ComponentOne SmartDesigner® technology. The SmartDesigner handles everyday tasks in chart placement. You can accomplish tasks without leaving the design form; each chart element reveals built-in toolbars and editors with the click of your mouse pointer.

Charts can be saved to an XML file or a string. You can then easily load saved charts at runtime.

Chart provides built-in interaction including mouse driven rotation, scaling, translating and zooming.

C1Chart3D enables developers to represent four-dimensional plots and Bar charts using color as the fourth dimension. 4D charts are useful for visualizing two sets of identically sized data in one chart.
