Overview

Area

An area chart is a derivative of a line chart. The area between the line and axis is filled in. Markers and lines can optionally be displayed.

Bar

A bar chart displays rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values they represent.

Line

A line chart renders quantitative data as a series of points connected by line segments. Lines can be straight, curved, or stepped. Markers can optionally be displayed.

Scatter

Scatter charts render data points where each point is represented by a marker.

Win/Loss

A win/loss chart is a special kind of bar chart where any positive value renders as a full-height upward bar, any negative value renders as a full-height downward bar, and zero values render as a line in the middle.

Box Plot

A box plot is a chart that displays a list of data in a five number summary shown by the ends of the whiskers, ends of the box, and the median bar.

Bullet Graph

A bullet graph is a special kind of bar chart used to display a single value in a context of one or more related values.

Candlestick

Candlestick charts are used to visualize price movements over time, such as changing stock or currency values.

Heat Map

A heat map is a grid where each cell renders color and/or size differences to reflect data values. The MicroHeatMapPresenter control is the marker used in each heat map cell, and automatically handles the color and/or size rendering for its particular data value representation.

Segment

A segment chart provides a visual representation of an integer value in relation to a total number. Each segment in the chart is rendered as highlighted or unhighlighted. For instance, if the value is 3 of 10, there will be 10 total segments displayed, with the first 3 rendering as highlighted. This sort of chart is great for use on dashboards, and also as an indicator of steps or progress achieved.

Trend Indicator

The trend indicator is a three-state control that is intended to reflect whether a numeric value is higher, the same as, or lower than an origin value.
