<\/a>MindFusion.Charting<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Silverlight charting control adds a brand new types of charts – radar and polar charts. They support unlimited number of data series, 4 label types at the inner and outer axes, spiderweb, scatters and many more.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe new HitTest method returns a list of all ChartElement objects, which contain the specified point. Each chart type has its own ChartElement-derived class, which exposes properties for the hit object – data, labels, value etc.<\/p>\n
\nAll chart types support the System.Windows.Media.Effects.DropShadowEffect and System.Windows.Media.Effects.Blur effect. Use the Effect property to specify the chosen effect.<\/p>\n<\/a>MindFusion.Diagramming<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nYou can apply to nodes two visual effects, represented by the GlassEffect and AeroEffect classes. Effects can be added, removed or modified at any time and this will immediately reflect on the diagram. Effects of different types can be applied simultaneously.<\/p>\n
\nA theme in DiagramLite is a set of styles, each associated with a specific item type. When the theme is applied to a diagram, the styles registered in the theme affect all objects of their associated type. Styles are associated with item types within the theme through the RegisterStyle method. The package also includes a Theme Editor tool that provides simple visual environment for theme creation and modification. There are also several predefined themes available in the Themes subfolder of the installation root folder.<\/p>\n
\nThe DiagramDocument class represents a collection of diagram pages or sheets, represented by DiagramPage objects. New pages can be added to the document and existing pages can be removed and reordered via the Pages collection.<\/p>\n
\nThe OneWayLayout class ensures that links enter into nodes from the same general direction and exit them from the opposite side. If the graph contains cycles, some links bend around the nodes to keep the enter\/exit direction consistent. The algorithm aims to minimize the number of such links.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe LinkLabel class allows multiple captions to be displayed for a single DiagramLink object. Link labels provide a set of properties allowing full customization of their display and positioning. The labels support automatic arrangement.<\/p>\n
\nItems can now be assigned to layers, and layers can be hidden, locked or moved up\/down in the Z order as a group. Set the LayerIndex property of items to associate them with layers in the Diagram.Layers collection. The Layer objects provide Visible, Locked and ZIndex properties, which affect all items in the respective layer. Layers also expose a Title property shown in the LayerListView control.<\/p>\n
\nThe LayerListView control provides user interface for working with Layer objects. The control displays a list of all layers in a specified Diagram with a title and an overview area, and also allows editing of layer’s Title, Visible and Locked properties and choosing the Diagram’s currently active layer.<\/p>\n
\nThe new magnifier tool lets you interactively zoom in (or out) portions of the diagram by holding down a modifier key or pressing a mouse button. The magnifier’s zoom factor and size are
\ncustomizable.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>MindFusion.Reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nYou can arrange items in the report parallelly by putting them inside the new SideBySideContainer report item. One of the uses is to display two (or more) data ranges next to each other.<\/p>\n\n
<\/a><\/a>MindFusion.Scheduling<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe ItemPresenter class now provides the start and end time of the represented item fragment through the new StartTime and EndTime properties. In addition, derived classes can override the new OnStartTimeChanged, OnEndTimeChanged, and OnItemPropertyChanged methods to get notified when the StartTime or EndTime properties change or when any property of the underlying item changes.<\/p>\n
\nThe Recurrennce class exposes a new event – ValidateOccurrence, which can be used to validate and customize the occurrences of a recurrence pattern.<\/p>\n<\/a>
