Financial and Statistical Formulas

The product comes with enhanced formula support, for the quick and effortless creation of sophisticated financial and statistical charts.

Scale Breaks

Scale breaks add powerful functionality allowing you to customize your chart. They permit you to show large differences between high and low data values without diminishing the readability of your chart. If you have a data spike that makes your charts unreadable, Scale Breaks can help.

Simplified Wizard-Driven Data Binding

Reduce the complications of binding and maintaining your data by using the Dundas Chart Wizard.

Design-Time Formulas

Dundas Chart for Reporting Services allows for the specification of formulas and data-value parameters for execution at runtime.

New 2-D & 3-D Drawing Effects

Several exciting new 2D and 3D visualizations let you add new visual effects to several chart types to give them a completely fresh look and feel.

Grouping of Stacked Bar/Column Chart Series

You can now group stacked bar/column chart series data for easier interpretation and added customization.

Optimized For Large Datasets

Another recent feature, FastLine™ charts are line charts, optimized to handle datasets with a large number of data points.  Using this chart type can significantly reduce rendering time and can easily handle several series with 100,000+ points.  And if you have such a large number of data points, the new FastPoint™ chart type can help.  Complementing the FastLine™ chart type, the FastPoint™ charts are optimized to display large data sets quickly and efficiently.

Custom Color Palettes

Developers now have the option of creating their own custom color palettes to complement existing palettes. This allows companies to quickly define their own corporate colors for series data.
