| | | | | | | | Chart Axes Features |
| | | | | |
Complete set of axis-related features designed to target even the most compelling charting requirements. The axes are largely automatic, allowing you to focus on your project, but if needed you can customize every aspect of their appearance and behavior.
- Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes
Nevron Chart for SharePoint supports Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes. You can specify the X and Y axes on which each values data grouping (chart series) is scaled. Advanced settings allow you to make use of axis crossings, docking and percent positioning.
- Depth Axis
In 3D charting, the axis model is extended with an additional depth (Z) axis. The Z axis allows data to be plotted along the depth of the chart. It automatically scales in Numeric or Categorical scale mode, allowing the creation of XYZ scatters and XZ-plane categorical plots.
- Special Radar and Polar Axes
Special Radar and Polar axes are exposed for Radar and Polar charting types. These aim to provide advanced settings for complex requirements related to these charting types.
- Numeric Scale
The Numeric Scale is automatically selected, depending on the respective chart dimension type. The following sub-modes are available:
- Number scale - displays any data in numeric format (profit, sales, percentages etc.)
- Angular scale - displays angular data in degrees, radians or grads (used in polar charts).
- DateTime scale - suitable for display of date-time data.
- ValueTimeline scale - advanced date-time scale, widely used in financial charts.
- RangeTimeline scale - advanced date-time scale, widely used in financial and project management charts.
- Categorical Scale
The Categorical Scale is automatically selected, depending on the respective chart dimension type. It has the following advanced features:
- Supports unlimited grouping levels.
- Grouped and single-row labels.
- Multiple presets for groupings appearance and layout.
- Advanced Axis Positioning Options
Axes can be docked to the chart sides (or polar rim) or crossed with another axis (at value or percent). In addition, axes can share a single chart edge.
- Axis Title
Full control over the appearance, position and angle of the axis titles. The axis titles text supports advanced rich-text formatting.
- Ruler
Control over begin and end ruler caps appearance and shape. Options to highlight scale breaks on the ruler.
- Axis Range
Ability to inflate the automatically calculated range in several ways. Ability to define a custom axis range.
- Gridlines
Major and minor gridlines, with full appearance customization and control over the walls on which they are displayed.
- Ticks
Support for major and minor ticks with control over their appearance and position.
- Axis Stripes
Axis Stripes highlight repeating ranges of data on the chart walls, with a controllable show/hide pattern.
- Axis Sections
Axis Sections conditionally modify the appearance of axis ticks, gridlines and labels, provided they are within a user-specified data range(s). This feature helps you to highlight important ranges of data along the axis.
- Const Lines
Const Lines show constant lines (reference lines) at user-specified value(s). In 3D mode they are displayed as planes perpendicular to their owner axis.
- Const Ranges
Const Ranges allow you to visually highlight important axis ranges. The Chart supports range annotation of the plot area with controllable begin/end values and text.
- Breaks
Axis Scale Breaks skip a range of values on the axis. They are used to increase the readability of the chart, in cases when the data is clustered in distant data ranges (for example: half the data points are around 100 and the other half are around 1,000,000). Without scale breaks, such data cannot be visually compared. Nevron Chart for SharePoint provides support for manual and automatic scale breaks with full control over appearance and behavior. X and Y scale breaks can be crossed. Scale breaks are also displayed in 3D Mode (unique feature).
- Label Layout
Advanced axis-label layout options, which let you resolve very complex axis-label overlapping cases.
- Label Formatting
Control over the formatting of values along numeric scales. Many advanced options for currency, percentage, scientific and date time label formatting are available.

| | | | | | | | Data Aggregation Features |
| | | | | |
Nevron Chart for SharePoint uses the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine. A simplified pivot charting model was first introduced in MS Excel - if you are using this feature of MS Excel then you already know the basics of pivot charting and its power.
In MS Excel, data groupings are simply created for field values and a predefined set of aggregate functions are available for calculating the series data point values.
In Nevron Chart for SharePoint you use expressions to define how the data is grouped, filtered and sorted. Expressions can reference field values from the data set and you can use numerous mathematical, statistical, logical, date-time, and text functions to define complex grouping, filtering and sorting rules. Special aggregate functions are available for computing aggregate values (like sum, average etc.)
Because the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine is data source invariant, this allows you to create pivot charts from any data source, which can provide a table representation of its data.
Because Nevron Chart for SharePoint and Nevron Chart for Reporting Services are built on top of the Nevron Pivot Component framework, they are generally having the same functionality and features. This helps you streamline your IT reporting efforts and reduce your IT staff learning curve - be it SharePoint or Reporting Services - you know that Nevron provides the same powerful and consistent pivot charting functionality.

| | | | | | - Speed
Nevron Chart for SharePoint is the fastest rendering chart inside SharePoint - in both 2D and 3D modes.
- 3D Charting
Nevron Chart for SharePoint has the best layout in 3D and the most advanced feature set in 3D - including: 11 predefined lighting modes, ability to specify element materials (control the way in which elements reflect light), largest charting types set in 3D, biggest set of shapes in 3D (applicable to pies, bars, markers, areas etc.)
- 2D Charting
Nevron Chart for SharePoint is the only chart for SharePoint environment to provide Adobe Photoshop like image filter effects, which are applicable to all chart elements - these include bevel, emboss, lighting filters etc. When it comes to shadows it is the only chart for Share Point, which has soft shadows (based on Gaussian and Radial blur image filters).
- 2D/3D Consistency
Nevron Chart for SharePoint is consistent in 2D/3D modes. For example you can map gradients to elements in both 2D and 3D. Colors specified in 2D are inherited by materials in 3D. You can mix 2D and 3D chart areas in a single chart control.
- XY and XYZ scatters
Nevron Chart for SharePoint includes the industry leading support for XY and XYZ scatters inside SharePoint.
- Parameters and drill down reports
This feature allows for the development of interactive dashboards and drill down reports. Parameters can be consumed from any expression, they can be passed as arguments to the newly added JumpToReport action. Parameters can also be directly integrated into any SharePoint page.
- Automatic Refresh
The Chart Web Part can be instructed to automatically refresh itself at the client side, at user specified intervals of time. This allows for the development of real time dashboards that automatically update themselves at the client side through AJAX, and eliminates the need for manual web page refresh.
- Non-overlapping Data Labels Layout
All Cartesian Chart types support automatic non-overlapping data labels layout. The data label layout prevents labels from overlapping in both ordinal and scatter charts and works in 2D and 3D appearance modes.
