Depth Axis

3D charting extends the axis model 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

The special Radar and Polar axes are exposed for Radar and Polar charting types, providing advanced settings for complex requirements related to these charting types.

Numeric Scale

The following subtypes are available:
  • Number scale - allows you to display any data in numeric format (profit, sales, percentages etc.).
  • Angular scale - allows you to display angular data in degrees and grads (used in polar charts).
  • DateTime scale - general date time scale suitable for the display of date time data.
  • ValueTimeline scale - advanced date time scale most commonly used in financial charts.
  • RangeTimeline scale - advanced date time scale most commonly used in financial and project management charts.

Categorical Scale

The following features are available for categorical scales:

Customer Quotes:

QUOTE After struggling with the limitations of a competitor product, we did a thorough evaluation of over 15 different charting components for Windows Forms. In terms of visual appearance, features, and design, Nevron Chart for .Net is clearly superior to every other product we tried, particularly for 3D surface functionality. The design of this component reflects a rare talent for graphic design and user interfaces, which I think will be quite difficult for competitors to imitate. Moreover, the Nevron support team was very knowledgeable and provided quick answers to our questions.

Between you and me, I think your ordering system needs a little work, but I would have hammered my credit card into a tree stump if that's what it took to get our hands on this product. It really is the best charting component in existence. ;-)

Thanks!
