Version 2.7.0. I'm happy to announce new exciting features - RangeGaps in axis, Axis label grouping and more...

By Darius, on 28 May 2010

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.

Axis range break.

Axis labels can be grouped - useful when adding categories to your data values.

Axis label groups

Rotated pie labels. When outside labels for pie are not possible, even though I recommend them as they are the most informative, you can use inside labels option. Rotated labels provide the best fit inside pie segments. Use pie charts with caution - they are not the best way to visualize more than 10 values.

Rotated Pie labels

SPC line plot chart. This is a Statistical Process Control specific chart, which is a part of our MonarchCharts SPC extension for manufacturing quality control.

SPC Line Plot

As usual - samples and documentation were updated to reflect recent changes.
