What is new in Q2 2008:

Nevron Chart for .NET

- Styling Support -
The control features an embedded styling support, allowing you to quickly apply a
style sheet in order to change the appearance of the chart contents. In addition you
can create your own, custom style sheets using a set of style sheet configurators
and palettes. The styling mechanism is also open for extension.

- Automatic Pie Chart Data Label Layout -
The layout algorithm used to resolve label overlapping in 2D is extended to support
3D pie charts as well. The pie chart labels are automatically positioned in a manner
that doesn\'t allow them to overlap with each other. The label layout is similar to
the spider mode.

- Improved Panel Layout -
All content panels in the control are extended to support Margins and Padding
allowing for a fine gradient control over the panels spacing.

- Improved Text Rendering Speed -
The text rendering speed for all labels has been significantly improved.

- Improved Hit Testing Speed in 3D -
Hit testing speed in 3D has been improved. You will find out that the new version
behaves much better when hit testing large data sets.

- Border Style -
All content panels now support a border style allowing you to place a border around
the panel content. Radial Gauges have been extended to support custom border styles
like Circle, Cut Edge Circle and Rounded Outline.

- Paint Effects -
All content panels now support a paint effect that emulates the reflection of glass
or gel cap over the panel content. This feature allows for the creation of more
visually appealing gauges and charts.

- Automatic Jittering -
In WinForms applications using 3D charts the control can automatically detect a
period of inactivity between chart refresh calls and use it to antialias the 3D
scene. This greatly improves the visual appearance of 3D charts as jagged edges are
removed at minimal performance cost.

- Redesigned Examples -
All examples of the components have been redesigned in order to take advantage of
the improvements in styling, borders, paint effects and layout.

- Improved Documentation -
The documentation of the component has been improved in order to be more user
friendly.


Nevron Diagram for .NET

- Improved Layouts -
The following layouts were significantly improved:

Layered Graph Layout - Added support for orthogonal edge routing, with integrated
bus spacing, which allows for the generation of very nice looking orthogonal graph
drawings. Added support for node alignment options, which help you specify the
relative alignment of nodes inside the layer. Added support for different node
ranking policies. Added support of in and out plug spacing, which work very well
with bus spacing and further increases the drawing readability.

Dock Layout - Added support for different filling and fitting modes.

Orthogonal Graph Layout - Added support for plug spacing.

All layouts were carefully profiled and as a result the layouts now perform much
faster.

- Improved Documentation -
The documentation of the component has been improved in order to be more user friendly.
