Charting

You can add a chart control to the sheet using code or the Spread Designer to create impressive 2D or 3D charts. You can also allow the user to resize the chart and the range of data used in the chart control.

There are several visual elements to a chart such as the plot, legend, and label areas; the axis, and the series. The plot area is the area in which data points are drawn. The legend area can be used to help end users identify different chart elements such as the series. The label area contains additional information about the chart. The axis displays the scale for a single dimension of a plot area. Each series is a collection of data points.

Choose from the following twelve charts and customize up to 85 different chart types.

• Column • Line • Pie • Bar
• Area • XY • Bubble • Stock
• XYZ • Doughnut • Radar • Polar

"As a long time user of your Spread COM product I have always been pleased with the flexibility and user friendly aspects of the control and it is great to see that your Windows Forms control continues this tradition!

Now that you are part of the same company which created ActiveReports (another product I have been a user of for a long time) I look forward to creating feature rich applications which will benefit my customers and my company. Excited to get started!"
