• Feedback posting from the demo application  - now you can  send messages with attached screen shots to  Singleton Labs developer support team directly from demo application.

Version 2.7.0 updates

New Features

• Range breaks - use RangeBreak in axis when you want to show values that differ in orders of magnitude like units and thousands - RangeBreak will detect and skip the Y axis portion where no data values are present so that your unit values are still readable.
  

Version 2.6.0 updates

• Zoom/Scroll bar control - now you can use MonarchCharts scroll bar for zooming in and out.
  

New Features for 3D PIE series

• Auto labels layouter.The labels will be positioned automatic:

Label layouter fix
Problem was : The Labels connection lines were rendered incorrectly: the line ended at the top of label rectangle. It  was a problem, when label rectangle was not rendered.
After solving problem: The labels connection lines are drawn at the bottom of label rectangle.

Labels position settings  fix for 2D BarSeries.

The labels can be positioned :

•   inside the bar;
•  outside the bar;
  

New Radar - Polar series for 2D released

A Radar chart is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of 2D chart of three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point.

A Polar Chart is a circular graph on which data is displayed in terms of values and angles (radians).
 

 New updates :

•  label marker alignment.
•  cylinder shape for 3D Bar Series.

New Feature for 2D charts style editing - ToolbarControl.
 
The ToolbarControl allows you to easily change chart appearance directly in your application, without coding:

•   change text font style, font size,color;
•   change chart elements foreground and background colors;
•   save changes to stylesheet files;

 New Surface series for 3D released.

This type of chart shows trends in values across two dimensions in a continuous curve.

The Surface3D series:

• Can be filled with an automatic or user defined color palette.  The colors in this chart represent specific ranges of values.
• Can set wireframe style ;
• The Markers are available on Surface 3D series;
• The walls of the chart can  be formatted;
  

The Null value in surface can be drawn :

•   leaving empty holes in the charts;
•   using interpolation of null values;
•   using minimum possible value of the scale;
  

              
             Surface 3D with null value - filled holes                                     Surface3D - wireframe style used

The new series and features released:

• Vector series for 3D charts;
• Pie series for 3D charts;
• Floating Bar for 3D charts;
• Multilevel Label Axis.
• Dot Plot Chart
  

                    Pie series for 3D Charts                                              Floating Bar for 3D series


                 MultiLevel Layouter for Axis                                                 Dot Plot Chart

 The MonarchGraph  tested with 1.5 and 1.6 Java.

New Feature for Drawing 2D Splines

From now on, some segments of a 2D spline function can have null values. Those null-segments can drawn in several ways:

•      can be not drawn at all leaving an empty gaps in the chart,
•      drawn using the different style compared to regular segments of the spline, or
•      drawn using the same style for all the segments of the spline.

In case the null-segments are drawn, the spline smoothly interpolates between the boundary know values of the spline.
