Visual Studio Charts – The Ideal Way To Represent Your Data

Irrespective of what sort of information you want to display or how much information you have to display, projecting just tabulated data or numbers to your audience is certainly unlikely to be well received. One of the things that makes any project not just look more attractive but entirely more professional as well is the use of charts and graphs. This not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of a project but also helps to understand the data that you wish to convey in a more coherent and understandable manner. There are multiple types of charts and graphs, the most common being bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, scatter graphs, points, radar, etc – each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, and can be selected based on the project that you are engaged in. Here is how Visual studio charts is extremely beneficial for developers and those engaged in projects that require visual representation of data.

What Are The Benefits Of Using Visual Studio Charts?

1.       Complex work already made: Charts can be very complex under the hood, but they provide an easy API for the developer to work with. More than 99% of the chart related coding work already made for you, saving you a great amount of time. 

2.       The presence of a Property editor: Irrespective of whether you are a pro when it comes to building graphs and charts or just starting out, you are likely to find Visual Studio Charts pretty easy to use as there is a property editor to assist you with your projects. You can develop the charts with the help of this tool, and it also helps you alter various attributes of the chart such as which chart or graph you want to use, the axis, the background images, etc.

3.       Ideal for developers: When it comes to graph and chart creation, a lot of times, the features provided are extremely rudimentary in most cases to keep the functionality accessible to the end-user. Therefore, various controls and finesse can be achieved for projects, and charts can be made to perfection.

4.       Easy to use and feature-rich: All one has to do is use the Chart Designer to build their graphs and charts within the Visual Studio charts platform. Then, the data has to be fed in, and the chart can be designed based on preferences and the features available under the charting library. Templates can be used if preferred as well. Features such as HD charts, printing facilities, ability to scroll, etc are also available to the developer.

UWP Charts Are An Ideal Choice For Developers

UWP Charts are an ideal solution for a developer that wants to create charts for any project, irrespective of which industry that they are developing data visualization solutions for. Multiple solutions and features such as the ability to zoom, the ability to pan, a controllable selection solution, labels for data, and other functional benefits are provided under the UWP charting framework making UWP charts an ideal choice.

As a developer, why should I go in for UWP charts?

·         Different types of charting features are supported: Depending on the type of project that you are developing the chart for, you may want to build a vertical chart in some cases, fine-tune the attributes of the axis, build a horizontal chart or have strong functionality and features that you can leverage to build the ideal chart. UWP charts provide this level of functionality and features to developers working on data visualization projects.

·         Can process large amounts of data easily: The two most important aspects of any chart is how it looks and how functional it is. However, with most rudimentary charting frameworks, one or the other of these two have to be compromised upon, especially when the quantity of data is extremely large. When it comes to UWP charts, one of the biggest advantages is that irrespective of the size of the data set you are working with, you will end up with a functional as well as a good looking chart as long as you know how to leverage the features that it offers successfully.

·         High Speed: Real-Time processing is a requirement that many data visualization projects require, especially when dealing with fields such as finance, banking, etc. For this, not only does the charting platform have to be functional and aesthetic, but it also has to be high speed to keep up with the dynamic changes that the chart is required to project. Irrespective of the size of your data set, UWP charts ensure that you have a low load time, and can ensure dynamic and quick real-time updates to ensure accurate projection of data.

·         Zooming and Pan features: Zooming features and pan features are also provided under UWP charts and it is extremely functional, providing a seamless user-experience to the developer working on the said charts.

·         Select between different types of charts: Various types of projects require different types of charts. For instance, some may require a bar graph, while some may require a pie chart, while others may work better with scatter plots or line plots. You can select between different types of charts and choose the one that is most ideal for your project. This also includes a selection of 3D charts as well.

·         Customize the Axis: Depending on the type of data that is involved, the axis attributes may be required to be customized. This is also an aspect that you can control with UWP charts. You can also have multiple axes to display various data inputs.

For all these reasons, UWP charts remain immensely popular and an ideal option for developers working on data visualization projects.
