Is there any plans to add a Server Side series click event in RadHTMLChart? Currently it is only available via the Client side.

Hello,
Like a lot of companies we have multiple client side interfaces of a single application and have to create similar UI in multiple platforms.
For example I had to create a chart in both WPF and ASP.NET AJAX today.
The problem I have with the Telerik controls is that there are absolutely no standardization or consistency between platforms.
Why would a Cartesian Axis in WPF and ASP.NET AJAX and ASP MVC and Windows Universal Apps not all called the same thing?
It would be very simple to use interfaces to create some consistency between platforms.
Even better would be if Model Views are shared across platforms in a portable library:

Add support for a secondary x-axis at the top of the chart.
Please use consistent axis types.
Why would the primary axes be of type Telerik.Web.UI.HtmlChart.PlotArea.Chart*Axis and the secondary y-axis be of type Telerik.Web.UI.AxisY?

Right now we do not have a way to show some tooltips over Axis Labels
This is useful when we have big names for Axis Labels, we can put some short cut names be default and then show full name over tool tip.

We can use Series tooltip, but it looks ugly for stacked series when you have 4 to 5 series

The current implementation of RadHtmlChart explicitly specifies font-family and font-size settings on the server-side, which are then serialized and used by the Kendo widget, so the skin-specific settings are ignored.

For example, the Material skin should define a "Roboto" font-family, but this is overriden by "Arial" in the final serialization, so the skin configuration does not have any effect.

The default values of the server-side font settings can be removed in order to allow such customization and can be defined in the skins file instead.

When migrating from a GeckoBoard.com dashboard, I have a Area Chart where the values over the target are one colour and those below another colour, this is true of Area and Bar charts. At the moment  I can use the "'ColorField="ErrorsColor"> " to colour the whole column to a given colour, but not that part above its Target.
One approach could be is to have 2 plots one below the target and one above the target, I would prefer to be this in control of the HtmlChart and for me not to frig it.
Thanks

Hi! I don't know if could be a other type for the html chart control. I want a donut with only 2 series like a points in a exam for example 100/120 and the points 100 shows in the center of the donut, maybe I would like to change the 100 points with a image 

For the time being the following events can be handled through the chartObject.

Select event is fired when the range of the selector from the navigator pane is changed.

JavaScript:

    <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">
        <script>
            function pageLoad() {
                var chart = $find('<%=RadHtmlChart1.ClientID%>');
                chart._chartObject.bind("selectEnd", OnSelectEnd);
            }

            function OnSelectEnd(e) {
                alert("OnSelectEnd triggered: \nFrom: " + e.from + "\n To: " + e.to);
            }

        </script>
    </telerik:RadCodeBlock>
ASPX:

        <telerik:RadHtmlChart runat="server" ID="RadHtmlChart1" Layout="Stock" Width="800" Height="400"
            Transitions="true">
            <PlotArea>
                <XAxis Name="mainAxis" DataLabelsField="SellDate" Type="Date">
                </XAxis>
                <Series>
                    <telerik:ColumnSeries DataFieldY="SellQuantity">
                    </telerik:ColumnSeries>
                </Series>
            </PlotArea>
            <Navigator Visible="true">
                <XAxis Name="navAxis"></XAxis>
                <SelectionHint Visible="true" />
                <Series>
                    <telerik:AreaSeries DataFieldY="SellQuantity">
                    </telerik:AreaSeries>
                </Series>
            </Navigator>
        </telerik:RadHtmlChart>

C#:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadHtmlChart1.DataSource = GetData();
        RadHtmlChart1.DataBind();
    }

    protected DataTable GetData()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();

        dt.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
        dt.Columns.Add("SellQuantity", typeof(int));
        dt.Columns.Add("SellDate", typeof(DateTime));

        dt.Rows.Add(1, 2, new DateTime(2011, 06, 12));
        dt.Rows.Add(1, 5, new DateTime(2011, 12, 12));
        dt.Rows.Add(2, 6, new DateTime(2012, 06, 17));
        dt.Rows.Add(3, 4, new DateTime(2012, 09, 18));
        dt.Rows.Add(4, 7, new DateTime(2013, 03, 18));

        return dt;
    }

Hi,

What I see in the HTML chart control is almost what I need.  The closest that I can get to a "generic chart" (with everything specified in the data) is binding to the XMLDataSource, but even with that, it appears that the Series Name needs to be hard-coded (not included in the XML data) or we need to write code to replace a hard-coded value with an "out of band" supplied value for each of the series names.

I've been looking through all of the demos and it appears that in every one of them, labels or titles that appear on the graph show up in the code somewhere.  Then when I look at the documentation, there is no place where those labels or titles can be extracted from the data source.  This would indicate to me that every graph needs to be hard-coded.

Am I missing something?  I hope so.  We have potentially thousands of graphing possibilities that we need to implement and would like the user to be able to design their own and this control looks pretty good, except for the "hard-coding" thing.  If we could retrieve the series names from the XML input, the task would take days; if we need to individually code each chart, it will take months to staff-years.

Here is a sample of what the XML input could look like:

<chart caption='Error Summary by Day'>
	<categories>
		<category label='Nov+11' />
		<category label='Nov+12' />
		<category label='Nov+13' />
		<category label='Nov+14' />

		<category label='Nov+26' />
		<category label='Nov+27' />
		<category label='Nov+28' />
		<category label='Nov+29' />
		<category label='Nov+30' />
	</categories>

	</dataset>
</chart>

You would use an XML attribute to specify series and chart names.

A good improvement in the RadHtmlChart would be to add MaxSize and MinSize properties for the series, which would allow the control the scaling of the bubble chart item. The property can be set through the chartObject:

        <script>
            function pageLoad() {
                var chart = $find("<%=BubbleChart.ClientID%>");
                chart.get_kendoWidget().options.series[0].minSize = 1;
                chart.get_kendoWidget().options.series[0].maxSize = 10;
                chart.get_kendoWidget().redraw();
            }
        </script>
        ASPX:
        <telerik:RadHtmlChart runat="server" ID="BubbleChart" Width="500" Height="400">
            <PlotArea>
                <Series>
                    <telerik:BubbleSeries>
                        <Appearance FillStyle-BackgroundColor="#6ab2c9">
                        </Appearance>
                        <SeriesItems>
                            <telerik:BubbleSeriesItem Size="1" X="5" Y="5500" />
                            <telerik:BubbleSeriesItem Size="5" X="14" Y="12200" />
                            <telerik:BubbleSeriesItem Size="15" X="20" Y="39000" />
                        </SeriesItems>
                    </telerik:BubbleSeries>
                </Series>
            </PlotArea>
        </telerik:RadHtmlChart>


More detailed information regarding these properties can be found in the API reference of the Kendo UI Chart here:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart#configuration-series.maxSize

When using the RadHtmlChart RadarSeries the axis are default drawn like a spiders web. (see screenshot)

A common request is that axis lines for this type of graph are drawn as circles (represending more a Radar type look).

This can currently be achieved by accessing the Kendo widget like so:

$find('RadarAreaChart').get_kendoWidget().options.valueAxis.majorGridLines.type="arc";
$find('RadarAreaChart').get_kendoWidget().options.valueAxis.minorGridLines.type="arc";
$find('RadarAreaChart').get_kendoWidget().redraw();

But it would be VERY convenient (and probably very easy to implement for you guys :-) if it was a setting on the RadarSeries itself (or perhaps on the axis of the RadarSeries.

E.g. property on RadarSeries called AxisType with values (Spider or Radar).

In RadHtmlChart there is no property to specify Width for Bar/Column series. It automatically calculates series width based on chart width, number of series, number of items within series, gap and spacing, etc.,
If there is more than one bar/column chart in single page, there is no way to show Bar/Column series of exact width in all chart to make page consistent.

A possible workaround:

The chart's labels also look misaligned in rtl direction, so you can change only chart's direction to ltr with CSS:
	<style>
		.RadHtmlChart {
			direction: ltr;
		}
	</style>

		<div dir="rtl">
			some text
		<telerik:RadHtmlChart ID="RadHtmlChart1" runat="server" Width="600" Height="400">

							<telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="30" />
							<telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="10" />
							<telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="20" />
						</SeriesItems>
					</telerik:ColumnSeries>
				</Series>
				<XAxis>
					<LabelsAppearance RotationAngle="33"></LabelsAppearance>
					<Items>
						<telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 1" />

						<telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 3" />
					</Items>
				</XAxis>
			</PlotArea>
		</telerik:RadHtmlChart>
		</div>

allow for the chart plot area to be fixed width not counting the axis text. the issue I have is the legend on right side of chart changes the widths of chart when the text is long.

A visual example - http://i.stack.imgur.com/zRwlo.jpg

The feature will be useful for projects that need 508 compliance.

A boolean properties will also be useful: "EnabledTexturedFill", "EnableColorAndTexturedFill"

I have a column series chart.
I have set colorfield for each series.
Series background change correctly, but label color does not change as per series color.
I can not set label color dynamically.

The selection (http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/chart-api/selection) can be configured through the kendo widget:
		<script>
			function pageLoad(args) {
				var kendoWidget = $find("<%=RadHtmlChart1.ClientID%>").get_kendoWidget();
				kendoWidget.options.categoryAxis.select = { from: 1, to: 2 };
				kendoWidget.bind("selectStart", onSelectStart);
				kendoWidget.bind("select", onSelect);
				kendoWidget.bind("selectEnd", onSelectEnd);

				kendoWidget.redraw();
			}

			function formatRange(e) {
				var categories = e.axis.categories;

				return kendo.format("{0} - {1} ({2} - {3})",
					e.from, e.to,
					categories[e.from],
					// The last category included in the selection is at (to - 1)
					categories[e.to - 1]
				);
			}

			function onSelectStart(e) {
				console.log(kendo.format("Select start :: {0}", formatRange(e)));
			}

			function onSelect(e) {
				console.log(kendo.format("Select :: {0}", formatRange(e)));
			}

			function onSelectEnd(e) {
				console.log(kendo.format("Select end :: {0}", formatRange(e)));

I would like to suggest ability to display data series in doughnut and pie charts, see attached example from Excel.

And thanks for a great Telerik experience, you make my development work very easy.
