Currently it is only possible to get the Actual Minimum and Maximum of the Linear axis, but it is not possible to track change notifications. Needed properties should be introduced so that it is possible to track the Actual Min and Max (with and without the ZoomAndPan behavior).

Available in Q3 2014 SP1 Release.

Provide a way that the CrossHair behavior looks like theTrackBall's one so that the Crosshair follows just the chart's series. Something like a TrackBall with the horizontal and vertical line of a Crosshair.

Currently, the control relies on its IsLoaded property to determine if it should render its items (axes, data points, annotations, etc.). However, if you measure and arrange the control in code without adding it into the visual tree, the IsLoaded property is not set to True, therefore the chart is not rendered and the image gets empty.

Original description
----------------------------------

Title: RadCartesianChart incorrecly rendered

We're rendering (Telerik) charts in code behind, to include them in a dynamic documentation.

For most controls it works fine - using standard methods (rendering control with System.Windows.Media.Imaging.RenderTargetBitmap and saving the result BitmapSource to disk)

However, it's impossible with RadCartesianChart with CategoricalSeriesDescriptor or ChartSeriesDescriptor. What we are able to get are axes and descriptions, but not bars.

I'm attaching an example - MainWindow displays a chart. I try to also create the chart in code behind. 
In CreateAndSaveChart() method I create a chart with a DataContext, then I call Measure and Arrange methods on it. At this stage the control should be properly initialized and ready to render. (For simplicity I omit rendering control with RenderTargetBitmap - you can preview the control with WPF Tree Visualizer, which will give you the same result). Well, if you preview the control at this stage, you'll see that the chart is missing bars. 
Next I create a new Window with my chart as a content, and display it for a while. Now the chart is fully and correctly rendered. As a workaround we display some Telerik chart in a transparent window to fully render, but such a workaround was reported not to work for some clients and is unacceptable in a long run. With most of Telerik charts we don't have such problems.

Other issue:
- for other Telerik charts we need to wait a few seconds to have it fully rendered. It's be better to have an event informing that the control is ready. 

I'll be happy to add more details if you need any.

* While experimenting with the example I've suddenly managed to render the chart with bars, but this time the rendered size was incorrect (very small)

Implement a feature that allows you to start an animation when the values of a data point are changed. For example, if you change the value on the vertical axis from 5 to 10, a smooth animation updating the visual element should be started.

Implement ChartSeriesLabelDefinition properties as DependencyProperties

Automatic axis range calculation should take into account the visibility of the chart series (i.e. the data points of a collapsed series should not be respected).

Note: This is by design. The range of all series forms the range of the axis. If the user wants the collapsed series not to affect the range of the axis he can remove them.

Currently plot band and marked zone annotations are not snapped to the ticks when the PlotMode of a CategoricalAxis is BetweenTicks. Instead the annotation starts from the middle of the slot, and from the middle of the bar (when using BarSeries). 

Introduce a way to snap plot band annotations and marked zone annotations to the ticks instead of the middle of the slot of the categorical axis.

Allow Area ( and ScatterArea ) series origin to be set at a number, different than 0

Provide the option for displaying axes at both sides of the plot area at the same time.

Currently, RadChartView doesn't support the ChartToolTipBehavior for series that are using BitmapRenderOptions, Direct2DRenderOptions, or SkiaRenderOptions. The tooltip doesn't display.

When thousands of items are displayed, the tooltip and trackball behaviors may become slow, because of inefficient searching for the closest datapoints. Performance can be sped up by implementing a custom search and manually creating a ChartDataContext via the GetDataContext method.

The exception can be observed when you a plot data point with value that falls outside of the range of the Decimal type.

As a workaround you can coerce the data before give it to the chart.

Create 2-dimensional contour plot from unstructured 3-dimensional data.  Means the points are randomly arranged in the XY plane.

Attached file shows an example of what I would like to achieve.  I think the contour plot Telerik does currently requires a structured grid, i.e. full grid of NxM points.

If we set a Palette to RadCartesianChart and then modify the default StrokeThickness and Stroke of a LineSeries via Style, the new Stroke does not apply. The project attached demonstrates the problem.

Add support for millisecond sampling interval to ChartDataSource.

Add support for axis with multi-level categories.

Provide way for specifying a minimum effective size of the zoom rectangle, so that accidental clicks can be ignored.

ChartView: Implement radar column series.

Currently a grid line is positioned for each tick. Implement grid-line-interval property so that only one in n ticks have an associated grid line.
