Charts can be generated based on any custom data source. They automatically calculate the best scales to fit data into the control, or you can customize the scales as needed. They include support for aggregation of large data sets to improve performance and readability, highlighting ranges or key data points, and much more.

Several types of charts are supported, which include Area, Bar, Line, Pie, Donut, and Scatter. Stacked and 100% stacked variations of area and bar charts are available as well.
