HTML5 Gauges

This release includes one of the most requested controls: HTML5 Gauges! Our new Linear and Radial Gauge controls for ASP.NET offer rich data visualization using HTML5 and jQuery. The Gauges are easy to use with optimized defaults, but can be customized to your liking with ease. The gauges support tick marks, labels, ranges, and more. Just like our charts, our gauges render brilliantly in IE6+, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Start building engaging dashboards today with the new ASP.NET gauges from ComponentOne.

More Chart Types

Our HTML5 charts are getting even more expansive in this release. The following chart types have been added to our already comprehensive list of ASP.NET chart controls:

• Area
• Bubble
• Composite
• Scatter
• Spline

The new Composite Chart control allows you to easily create dashboards on a single chart surface. The same data can be overlayed with different visualizations or related data can be displayed together to convey trends. All of our HTML5 charts offer interactive features like animations, transitions and tooltips. Most importantly these charts render perfectly in older browsers like IE6 without any loss in quality. Our charts can even be used on mobile devices like iPads and iPhones.

HTML5 Editor

The powerful editing control, Editor for ASP.NET Wijmo allows even non-technical users to author and manage HTML content on any Web page. Replace any text box with this intuitive Microsoft Word-like editor that allows you to edit your HTML content in your preferred style: design, source code, or split view. It also supports BBCode to help integrate with forums and blogs; and includes a rich spell-checking experience with support for custom dictionaries. Give your end users a desktop-style editing experience for online documents with this new HTML5 Editor from ComponentOne.
