Questions About The Free Version vs. The Professional Version

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I am a ChartFX veteran from the mid 90's.  I did a few applications using

ChartFX 3.0 and 4.0 for VB 4.0 - 6.0.  I am at a new client site and they

are using .NET.  I played around with the free Winforms version of ChartFX

and wanted to make sure about a few items that existed in the mid 90's

version vs. today's version.

(All questions are for WinForms projects only and all assume scatter plots

will be used)

1) Does the ability for dragging points in the chart still exist?

2) Can the user double-click on values in the chart to display "bubble-help"

to get the particular value?

If these features do exist, do they exist in the free version or do I have

to tell my client to upgrade?

On another note, does ChartFX support charts that can represent 2-D

histograms with degree of color determining frequency of data?

Thanks

Hi,

We are happy to have you loyal customers like you ! I'm sure you won't be

disappointed with the features in the latest version.

> 1) Does the ability for dragging points in the chart still exist?

Yes. However, it is disabled by default. TO enable it simply set:

AllowDrag = true;

> 2) Can the user double-click on values in the chart to display

"bubble-help"

> to get the particular value?

The information about the points is displayed in more standard Windows

Tool-Tips when you hover the mouse over a point.

However, there is still the ability to capture the Double-Click event and

Balloon-like objects are available using the Annotation extension.

Not as a gallery type, but it can be achieved by customizing a regular bar

chart. In Chart FX for .NET you can set colors to each bar individually or a

as a group.

None of these two features are available in Chart FX Lite (Free version).
