Even though the first official release of dhtmlxChart<\/a> was introduced just 2 months ago, today we are ready to present its update pack. You will be pleasantly surprised by the various useful features we have added to our JavaScript charting library.<\/p>\n

Area Chart<\/strong>
\nOur first piece of good news is the announcement of a new type. We have extended the types variation with the area chart. The stacked area charts are just the thing to use when you need to show how a separate data value contributes to the total, or which part of the whole this value represents. The component can also draw series of area charts.<\/p>\n

\"dhtmlxChart

Area charts: series and stacked<\/p><\/div>\n

Spline Chart<\/strong>
\nAnother new type is the spline chart, which is similar to the line chart, but a curve approximates the intervening values and goes smoothly between data points. You may also generate a series of spline charts, if needed. <\/p>\n

\"Spline

Spline chart<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Series of Charts<\/strong>
\nAs you may have already noticed, we have added the ability to display a series of charts, a feature unavailable in the previous release. This new feature works for the majority of available chart types (line, spline, bar, and area charts). <\/p>\n

\"Chart

Chart series - Line and bar charts<\/p><\/div>\n

Legend and Origin<\/strong>
\nImprovements in properties include legend and origin. A legend was already available for the pie chart, but now it\u2019s available for all types. It can be very helpful when you draw a chart series and want to add explanations or descriptions for each individual series. <\/p>\n

The origin\u2019s position – in other words, the zero of the coordinate system – can now be defined for line, spline, and vertical bar charts. This feature allows you to display negative values on a graph.<\/p>\n

Extended Bar Chart<\/strong>
\nWith all the new features introduced in this release, the bar chart now gives you the freedom to present your data in a more illustrative and intuitive way. Advanced features include: stacked bar chart<\/strong>, chart series, the option to show negative values below zero, and horizontal bar charts.<\/p>\n

\"Bar

Bar charts - Horizontal, stacked, and displaying negative values<\/p><\/div>\n

IE9 Support<\/strong>
\nThe last thing we\u2019d like to mention is support for Internet Explorer 9.0. As promised, we updated DHTMLX components upon the release of the latest version of Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n

So these were the main updates, and they should give you a good feel for the full range of changes. The details and download link to the updated package can be found on dhtmlxChart homepage<\/a>.
