• General: HMTL help is now used by both the 2D and 3D Charts
• Properties: - Legend.IsShowing3DShading property. When True (default) the legend shows 2 or 3 colors for each series as appropriate for plots with 3D effects that have shading. When False, only the color indicated by the series style is shown. The property has also been added to the Legend-General property page. Chart.PropertyPageHelpfile property. This property can be used to set the path of the property page help file used at runtime. Thus Chart programmers can now customize the property page help as appropriate for their customers. Context IDs and sample help file projects will be supplied. The use of HTML help or WinHelp is determined by the extension of the file specified. (2D and 3D Charts). The AxisIDConstants enumeration values now match the Axes collection elements. (2D and 3D Charts)
• Methods: Chart.Reset() method. The Reset method returns the chart instance to its default state. A Reset button was also added to the Control-General property page (2D and 3D Charts). New Chart methods were added that allow the creation of image data in a byte array. These new methods facilitate image transfer in webchart without the use of files. The new methods include SaveImageAsJpegBytes(), SaveImageAsPngBytes() and SaveImageAsDibBytes(). New ChartEditorElements for the Control-General property page controls. Each button and and checkbox on the Control-General property page can now be shown or hidden at runtime as desired. The new elements appear in the ChartEditorElementContants enumeration and can be used with both Chart methods, ShowChartEditorElement() and IsChartEditorElementVisible(). (2D and 3D Charts)
• Events: FormatAxisAnno() event. This event is fired whenever an annotation value needs to be formatted for an axis with the Axis.AnnotationMethod property is set to either ValuesEvent or TimeLabelsEvent (new options). The event passes the AxisID index, the Value and the default Label text for each annotation value. The Label text can then be modified as desired prior to display. (2D Chart only)
