Nevron Chart for SSRS Features

Nevron Chart for SQL Server Reporting Services introduces a new level of data visualization, designed to extend your reports within SSRS 2005, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022 editions.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services has support for an unlimited number of charting areas. Each charting area has its own charting type and can be rendered in 2D or 3D mode. Charting areas can be automatically or manually arranged.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services has support for an unlimited number of legends. Each value data grouping can be assigned to a different legend. Legends can be manually positioned or docked to chart, chart areas, and plot areas.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services has support for an unlimited number of titles. Titles can be manually positioned or docked to chart, chart areas, and plot areas.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services has support for saving and loading templates. Save the chart state from the designer to XML and then import it into a different report item. The state generated by the VS2005, VS2008, VS2010, VS2012, VS2013, VS2015, VS2017 and VS2019 report items is compatible, meaning you can easily convert reports generated with different versions of Visual Studio.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services supports customization through C# code, which allows you to use the full Nevron Chart for .NET API in SSRS.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services has support for an unlimited number of chart series.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services has support for an unlimited number of data points in the chart series.

With Nevron Chart for Reporting Services, you can render charts as BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and GIF.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services supports Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes. You can specify the X and Y axes on which each value data grouping (chart series) is scaled. Advanced settings allow you to make use of axis crossings, docking, and percent positioning.

Nevron Chart for SSRS provides the capability to have multiple (unlimited) Y and X axes. This can be achieved by using custom code injection to add Custom Axes.

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 are exposed for Radar and Polar charting types. These aim to provide advanced settings for complex requirements related to these charting types.

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.

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.

The X-axes of Cartesian charts support a special type of scale called the "Table Scale." This scale type displays a table containing the values of the categories displayed on the axis. Optionally the table scale can display column and row headers containing the categories grouping and series names, respectively.

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.

Full control over the appearance, position, and angle of the axis titles. The axis titles text supports advanced rich-text formatting.

Control over beginning and end ruler caps' appearance and shape. Options to highlight scale breaks on the ruler.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services provides control over the axis range. Ability to inflate that range in several modes.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services supports major and minor gridlines, with full appearance customization and control over the walls on which they are displayed.

Support for major and minor ticks with control over their appearance and position.

Axis Stripes highlight repeating ranges of data on the chart walls, with a controllable show/hide pattern.

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 show constant lines (reference lines) at user-specified value(s). The Chart Const Lines supports text annotation. In 3D mode, they are displayed as planes perpendicular to their owner axis.

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.

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 Reporting Services 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).

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services provides advanced axis-label layout options, which let you resolve very complex axis-label overlapping cases.

Label Formatting controls the formatting of values along numeric scales. Many advanced options for currency, percentage, scientific, and date-time label formatting are available.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services supports customization through C# code, which allows you to use the full Nevron Chart for .NET API in SSRS.

Nevron Chart for SSRS is the fastest rendering chart inside Reporting Services - in both 2D and 3D modes.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services has the best layout in 3D and the most advanced feature set in 3D - including 11 predefined lighting modes, the 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.).

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services is the only chart for Reporting Services 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 Reporting Services that has soft shadows (based on Gaussian and Radial blur image filters).

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services is consistent in 2D/3D modes. For example, you can map gradients and textures 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 single chart control.

- Nevron Chart for SSRS introduces numerous Lighting Models
- Orthogonal Projection with Depth Offset (perfect for creating 2D half imitation charts).
- Soft Shadows based on image filters
- Blur, Glow, Lighting, Bevel and Emboss image filters

Nevron Chart for SSRS includes the industry-leading support for XY and XYZ scatters inside Reporting Services.

All Cartesian Chart types support automatic non-overlapping data label layout. The data label layout prevents labels from overlapping in both ordinal and scatters charts and works in 2D and 3D appearance modes.

Nevron Chart for Reporting Services supports XML Formatted Texts. This feature is applicable to all elements which display text. It allows you to mix fonts, mix bold, italic underline formatting, and many other advanced features like different fill styles, shadows, image filters, etc. - all inside a single label, title, etc. XML formatted texts use a format similar to HTML but with many more advanced options.

The user interface in design time is multithreaded. This allows for very quick editing of the component, regardless of the preview complexity.
