What is a Chart?
A chart is a visual representation of data. Gone
are the days where one would have to physically input every piece of
information that they want to feed into their chart. With the current
technology available, one can easily input large amounts of information to make
visually appealing charts quickly – and yet have fast runtime rendering.
What Are The Aspects That Must Be Kept In Mind
Before Choosing The Right Platform For Your Charts?
Many aspects must be considered before choosing the
right toolkit for your visually appealing chart that you are planning to make!
Some of the most important factors to be considered are as follows:
- Visual
appeal: The type of chart that you are planning to use can make a big
difference in the type of toolkit that you are planning to utilize. For
instance, the end finish of a Bar Graph may be much more sophisticated and
polished in certain types of toolkits as opposed to certain others.
However, with C# Charts WPF, you
can be assured that your charts come out looking posh and finished every single
time.
- Features:
the chart toolkit must provide the visualization you are expecting, or to
be easily created with the API. Heatmaps, 3D surfaces
etc. are industry expectations today.
- Configurability:
the charts must have great set of configuration attributes (properties) to
adjust the behaviour and the looks of the charts.
- Performance:
most chart toolkits have enough power for simple business-related power,
but more advanced scientific, engineering or financial applications
typically need a performance-oriented chart toolkit.
Getting a C# toolkit
Recommeded way is to Download a C# charts toolkit from C#
Charts manufacturer web site, and install it. Then you will find charts
in the Toolbox of Visual Studio. Alternatively you may want to use Nuget and
browse the preferred C# Charts there, but note the examples and documentation
are not typically available without going accessing them from manufacturer’s
web site.
Why Chart?
Charting is ideal as it allows the creator to
render and input a large amount of information in the form of visual
representations. Especially for those projects that require the immediate
attention of the reader, this is an ideal and present solution. It has been
proven that visually attractive projects and pages are more likely to receive
positive attention compared to those which uses large amounts of verbose
data.
