New V7 Charting Features for .NET, ActiveX, MFC Library, VCL
Introducing v7...
I. Speed Improvements:
We investigated every bottle neck we've heard of, then implemented quality solutions to address them.
- GdiPlus renders significantly faster. For current users, if not using GdiPlus, try it with v7 and set AntiAliasGraphics=True and AntiAliasText = True.
- Built-in automatic data reduction makes handling large data sets unbelievably fast. Optimization for 2D, 3D, 2D contours, and Polar/Smith charts. Optimization is per plotting method. This is a large internal feature and there's nothing like it in any 3rd party product. Our demo example 123 now shows 1 million points. It also shows our new ZoomWindow feature. For most plots you won't be able to recognize any difference in how your charts look. Filtering is enabled by default. See Filter2D and SequentialDataX. Use v7 and your charts are inherently faster. v6's feature PEpartialresetimage, demo example 020, is now un-necessary.
- New RenderEngine = PERE_GDI_TURBO, its old-school GDI rendering but much faster and optimized for 2D scatter plots with large data sets. Data reduction of 2D linear and bar type plots can achieve pixel accuracty. But random scatters are best not to reduce the data too much. ProEssentials logic does take a random controllable sampling to achieve faster scatter plotting. Combining a slight amount of data reduction with our new PERE_GDI_TURBO mode will plot large amounts of scatter data many magnitudes faster than anything available and achieve near pixel accuracy as if plotting all data.
- Any 3D data reduction is generally not going to be pixel accurate. But it's close enough that most users will not be able to recognize any loss of information. Outliers are always plotted and you can choose how much filtering is used. The Filter3D setting controls the level of filtering.
II. Visual Improvements:
- GdiPlus is now our primary target whereas with v6 and earlier we wanted to maintain WMF support. With v7 WMF support is no longer fully supported for all features. Developers may want to set the AllowWmfExport feature to False.
- All plotting routines were rewritten to take full advantage of GdiPlus anti-aliased graphics. Be sure to use AntiAliasGraphics and AntiAliasText set to True.
- We added gradient fill features for everything, at multiple levels: per plotting method, per subset, and per annotation. Example 000 and 100 show some setting at top of code. See below for new features.
- We added bevel and lighting effects on top of gradient effects. Bars, Areas, new SplineAreas, Rect and Polygon Graph Annotations, and TableAnnotations supported.
- Bar and Candlestick charts now have a new optional glass effect. Example 000, 030, and 100 enable this feature.
- Pie charts add new gradient and lighting effects as well as rewritten to render best for GdiPlus and anti-aliased graphics. Example 300 and 301 demo.
- Improved datapoint and marker point sizes allowing minimum and maximum range. New MaximumPointSize, MaximumMarkerSize, MaximumSymbolSize
- Pego and Pesgo add grid banding and more subtle grid line coloring options. This is on by default, see GridBands, GridBandsAlpha, GridLineAlpha below. To show a chart in legacy form, set new features GridBold = True and GridBands = False.
III. Functional Improvements:
- Pego, Pesgo, and Pepco now update immediately upon using scrollbars. We also added MouseDraggingX and MouseDraggingY features where the middle mouse button grabs zoomed charts.
- Pego and Pesgo now include a full-featured zoom-window that shows all data below a zoomed chart. Annotations and hot-spots supported. The level of robustness is sure to allow elaborate charting based user interfaces. We added new per annotation type properties GraphAnnotationZoom, HorzLineAnnotationZoom, VertLineAnnotationZoom, and XAxisAnnotationZoom. Allowing annotations to be GRAPH_ONLY, GRAPH_AND_ZOOMWINDOW, or ZOOMWINDOW_ONLY. Related are AllowGraphAnnotHotSpot and per annotation GraphAnnotationHotSpot (and other annotations types) which were expanded to provide similar control of potential hot spot locations.
- Pego and Pesgo adds Spline Area and Spline Ribbon plotting methods.
- Pesgo adds the stacked type plotting methods.
- Basic Polar/Smith charts now support more than one zoom level. See ZoomingLimited
- 3D charts can now have different sized axes. See GridAspectX, GridAspectY, GridAspectZ below
- GraphAnnotations add angled text, horizontal/vertical regions, and solid arrows. Example 015 adds angled text, example 101 shows a vertical region.

#define PEP_bZOOMINGLIMITED 3808
Pepso.PeGrid.Zoom.MaxFactor
Gets or sets maxium amount of zoom. Default and recommended setting equals 10000 (or logical size of chart can be 10000 times size of currently zoomed selection rectangle.)

defines viewport within units from GetRectAxis.
#define PEP_nZOOMOFFSETPIXELY 3812
Pepso.PeGrid.Zoom.OffsetX
Gets or sets currently zoomed horizontal percent offset within the logical coordinates defining virtual size/location of chart.
Equal to PixelOffsetX / PeFunction.GetRectAxis.Width.

OffsetPixelX/Y and OffsetX/Y.
#define PEP_fZOOMOFFSETX 3813
Pepso.PeGrid.Zoom.OffsetY
Gets or sets currently zoomed vertical percent offset within the logical coordinates defining virtual size/location of chart.

Pego/Pesgo/Pepso.PeAnnotation.InFrontOfGrid
This property controls if annotations are drawn in-front (true) or behind (false) any grid lines.
#define PEP_bANNOTATIONSINFRONTOFGRID 3354 // new feature to control if graph annotations are infront or behind grid
All objects.PeUserInterface.Allow.TextExport
Gets or Sets ability to access text export features of export dialog.
#define PEP_bALLOWTEXTEXPORT 2038 // to remove option of exporting data from export dialog
Pego/Pesgo.PeGrid.Option.ForceGridLinesY
Gets and Sets whether y axis grid lines are forced visible or hidden. Mostly used to improve overlapped axis configurations.
type Gigasoft.ProEssentials.Enums.ForceGridLines
#define PEP_nFORCEGRIDLINESY 3333 // 0=disable force, 1 = force show, 2=force hide, Mostly added to hide grid lines in complex overlapping axis scenarios
Pego/Pesgo.PeGrid.Option.ForceGridLinesRY
Gets and Sets whether right y axis grid lines are forced visible or hidden. Mostly used to improve overlapped axis configurations.
type Gigasoft.ProEssentials.Enums.ForceGridLines
#define PEP_nFORCEGRIDLINESRY 3334

#define PEP_nFORCEGRIDLINESTX 3353
Pego/Pesgo.PePlot.Option.AdjoinBars
Set True to force bar charts to draw bars with no gaps between bars. We mostly added this feature to draw colormap type charts.
Colormaps can be built with a stacked bar chart with many subsets, points and AdjoinBars = True.

PESD_NEVER 2
Pego/Pesgo/Pepso/Pe3do.PeData.SequentialDataX
Gets and Sets if data can potentially be optimized. Default=Auto. This setting can be used to disable or force filtering.
For Pego, data is always sequential in x direction, so this setting mostly for disabling filtering.
For Pe3do,SequentialDataX optimization is for only scatter and waterfall plots. Filter3D effects surfaces and wireframes.
#define PEP_nSEQUENTIALDATAX 2039 // 0=auto, 1=always, 2=never: optimize image speed by assuming xdata is sequential, Pesgo, Pe3do
Pesgo.PeData.SequentialDataY

Sequential data in y direction is mostly used in 2d contours, and 3d surfaces 3d contours.

#define PEP_bFILTERON 2034 // normal FALSE, if TRUE chart is filtering data
Pego/Pesgo/Pepso.PeData.Filter2D

Pe3do.PeData.Filter3D
Reduce data for any dimension if dimension quantity exceeds this threshold. For example, if Subsets=200 and Filter3D default=150, data will be optimuzed as if Subsets=150.
