Some other charting frameworks support ‘dynamic’ graphs/diagrams, where the graph shows nodes and links, and the user can drag the nodes around the page, and the other nodes are pulled around it. This is a great way to visualise and explore this kind of node+link data. Its also a great way to sell and app, as it looks cool.

Hi Team,

Can you please share sample or demo code for candlestick graph (C# winform).

Thanks

To reproduce: please refer to the attached sample project  and gif file illustrating the behavior on my end. 

Note: similar to the axis, the series should also have ClipLabels property which will control whether the labels will be clipped or not.

Workaround: use custom renderer:

        AddHandler Me.RadChartView1.CreateRenderer, AddressOf RadChartView1_CreateRenderer

I have use following code to use Both Scrollbar in RadChartView While Zoom.
but it not scroll my chart .

radchart1.HorizontalScroll.Enabled = true;
radchart1.HorizontalScroll.Visible = true;
radchart1.VerticalScroll.Enabled = true;
radchart1.VerticalScroll.Visible = true;
Please help me.

Hello Kalpesh,

Currently panning in RadChartView cannot be performed using the scrollbars. We have a feature request logged here: https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/154/Feedback/Details/111013-add-radchartview-add-a-scrollbar-that-controls-the-pan-and-zoom

Please subscribe to the item so that you be updated when its status changes. For the time being I can suggest using a RadRangeSelector control to zoom and pan the chart. More information is available here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/rangeselector/overview

Regards,
Hristo

Use LogarithmicAxis and set the Minimum to 0.1

Workaround is availble in the atched project.

Why exists the Crosshair feature only for the WPF version of the RadChartView and not for the WinForms implementation?

Is there a plan to release that feature for WinForms too?

Thx in advance
Uli

when overlay a radlabel on a radchartview, chartview constantly refreshes
label backcolor set to transparent

tried to recreate this with a sample cs project but wouldn't reproduce!

video has two instances of the same user control on the form
notice that right hand instance does not update when radlabel is added

attached is video of it working fine, then add label ontop , then see it misbehaving  with fast refresh flicker!  not only that it also prevents other items in the user controls from updating and the other user control on the form from updating

have attached sample c# project (but cant reproduce)

Having issues withVS2013 & 2015 Q1 Winforms RadChartView control

1. WYSIWYG in design time does not refresh properly after changing axis collection parameters, unless close and reopen the parent winform or custom control
2. by changing an axis collection parameter , seem to end up with multiple extra axes series (originally had axisX, AxisY, and after a minor param change ended up with axis 0 thru 5 (6 in total) and all series where now using axis4 & axis5 not my original axis?
3. I can't see to toggle display on/off of series in winforms via the legend, yet in wpf web it is possible? will this feature be added later?

attached is example of WYSIWYG not working

improvement Suggestions:
I would love to have a major and minor grid (similar to ref: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/screen-digital-oscilloscope-two-types-signal-33269502.jpg)  as most of my work is measurement and scientific in nature. 

I would like to ensure the ratio of X-Y is fixed so that on resize of the control the grid does not skew or stretch  and I loose 1:1 aspect ratio

I look forward to your feedback ;)

To reproduce: use the following code snippet:

 Random rand = new Random();
 List<LineSeries> list = new List<LineSeries>();
 for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
 {
     LineSeries ls = new LineSeries();
     ls.LegendTitle = "Series" + i;
     list.Add(ls);
 }
 for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
 {
     foreach (LineSeries s in list)
     {
         s.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(i, rand.Next(0, rand.Next(5, 20))));
     }
 }
 radChartView1.Series.AddRange(list.ToArray());

 this.radChartView1.ChartElement.LegendPosition = LegendPosition.Bottom;
 this.radChartView1.ChartElement.LegendElement.StackElement.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;

Resolution: 
The issue is duplicated with item IMPROVE. RadChartView - ChartLegend should be able to wrap its items. From Q1 2015 when there are many items in the chart legend a scroll bar will appear so users can scroll through the items.
More info in the following feedback item http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/154/Feedback/Details/149848-add-radchartview-when-the-legend-has-many-items-a-scrollbar-should-appear

so that Y increases as you move down the screen. (Even) microsoft chart component supports this. 

The Line Series cannot be clicked/selected and cannot be used in DrillDown scenarios.

ChartLegendElement is not able to wrap the LegendItems

Currently the axis data flows from left to right starting with the smallest values and increasing. There should be a way to verse this flow and the most left values to be the biggest.

Currently, ScatterSeries are able to use NumericAxes only. A good improvement will be to allow using DateTimeContinuousAxes as well.

Add null value support for RadChartView

Steps to reproduce.

1. Add a chart view to a form.
2. Create a series and add several data points. For categories use double values in the range 10 - 20
3. Create a second series and this time for categories use double values in the same range without duplication.
4. Assign one linear and one categorical axis to the series and add them to the char view.
5. Run the project and you will see that the categories from the second series are next to those from the first series, while they should be combined according their values.
