  • Creating trend lines

    Sometimes, on charts, the general appearance of the series does not make data tendencies very prominent. In those situations, you might want to add trend lines that explain the general dynamics. This tutorial explains, how you can use generic Line series as trend lines.

  • Custom polygons on Map Chart

    If you are working with Map Chart, you're probably already familiar with MapPolygonSeries thatr get their geographical data from loaded map file, or "geodata". However, Map polygons are not limited to this source of data. You can draw any shape and polygon on the map using in-line lat/long coordinates. This tutorial will show how.

  • Do not show tooltip for zero-value columnsDemo

    This demo shows how we can use adapters to selectively disable cursor tooltips on columns with zero-value.

    XY

  • Draggable series axis rangesDemo

    This demo shows how we can create a "series axis range" and make it draggable, dynamically adjusting threshold lines and respective series fills.

  • Hiding Small Pie Slices

    Pie chart sizes its slices proportionally, based on the relative values. Sometimes that means that we end up with a chart that has a bunch of small-value slices that are barely visible, but clutter up the chart.

  • Highlighting column series on legend click

    During the course of this tutorial we'll modify the functionality of the legend from toggling series on and off, to rather highlighting it.

    XY

  • Highlighting regions of a scatter chartDemo

    This demo shows how we can add an extra series to highlight multiple regions of a scatter chart (XYChart).

    XY

  • Individual legend item for each column

    Normally on an XY Chart, Legend creates a single item for each Series. This brief tutorial will show how you can create custom legend which will show an item for each individual column in a single Column series.

  • Managing width and spacing of Column Series

    By default ColumnSeries will size its columns so they are both as wide as possible, while maintaining some spacing between individual columns in clusters and between categories/cells. This tutorial will explain how we can manipulate width and spacing of the columns.

    XY

  • Multi-series shared tooltip with colored bulletsDemo

    This demo shows how we can use an adapter for series' tooltipText property, in-line text formatting, and cursor's maxTooltipDistance to build a single universal tooltip that displays values from all series, complete with colored bullets.

    XY

  • Multiple cursor tooltips on scatter chart

    Normally, XYCursor, if added to a chart will try to show a tooltip for each series for the hovered date or category. This does not work for charts that have both X and Y axes as ValueAxis. This tutorial will show how we can fix that.

  • Ordering zIndex of series lines and bullets

    This tutorial will show how you can control layout and ordering of LineSeries lines and their bullets.

    XY

  • Overlaid column series

    This tutorial will show how you can leverage a number of settings on Series and Axes to create offset/overlaid columns effect.

  • Taming Candlestick Series

    Candlesticks are a good way to depict data dynamics using variety of metrics. Instead of single value - used on most series - candlesticks use four: open, high, low, and close. This tutorial will explain how to set up and configure Candlestick series.

    XY

  • Taming the Step Line Series

    Normal Line series on an XY chart usually connect data items with a straight line. Step line series are similar, except they connect the data items with a step. This tutorial will show how you can tweak the steps to suit your needs better.

  • Using adapters for value-sensitive bullet adjustments

    If your chart uses bullets - either as shapes or text labels - you might find yourself in situations where you might need to adjust certain aspect of bullet based on specific value or value change. It might be alignment of a label, or a color of dot.

  • Using percent values in series

    In our everyday charting we mainly use absolute values. However, sometimes we might need to show how specific value relates to other elements. In this case relative percent value is much more representative than absolute one. This tutorial will explain ways we can use such relative values.
