This release introduces several new and improved visual design and configuration options for all of the chart components. e.g. Data Chart, Category Chart, and Financial Chart.
1. New color palette for series/markers in all charts
eg.
2. Changed Bar/Column/Waterfall series to have square corners instead of rounded corners
3. Changed Scatter High Density series’ colors for min/max heat properties
4. Changed Financial/Waterfall series’ colors for negative fill of their visuals
5. Changed marker’s thickness to 2px from 1px
6. Changed marker’s fill to match the marker’s outline for PointSeries, BubbleSeries, ScatterSeries, PolarScatterSeries
Note, you can use set MarkerFillMode property to Normal to undo this change
7. Compressed labelling for the TimeXAxis and OrdinalTimeXAxis
8. New Marker Properties:
MarkerFillMode - Can be set to 'MatchMarkerOutline' so the marker depends on the outline
MarkerFillOpacity - Can be set to a value 0 to 1
MarkerOutlineMode - Can be set to 'MatchMarkerBrush' so the marker’s outline depends on the fill brush color
9. New Series OutlineMode Property:
Can be set to toggle the series outline visibility. Note, for Data Chart, the property is on the series
10. New Plot Area Margin Properties:
The PlotAreaMargin properties define the bleed over area introduced into the viewport when the chart is at the default zoom level. A common use case is to provide space between the axes and first/last data points. Note, the ComputedPlotAreaMarginMode, listed below, will automatically set the margin when markers are enabled. The PlotAreaMargin is designed to specify a Thickness to provide to all four sides of the chart. The others are used to gauge each side, as Double, which are read-only. These new properties were added:
