PowerCharts v3.2 - 14th January, 2011

• Automatic rendering of JavaScript charts on devices (like iPad and iPhone) where Flash player is not supported.
• 5 new chart types:
  • Heat Map Chart
  • Box and Whisker Chart
  • Step Line Chart
  • Error Line Chart
  • Error Scatter Chart
• Support for JSON data format.
• Support for LinkedCharts, where a single data source controls multiple charts.
• Interactive legends in charts that allow for selective showing/hiding of data series (or slicing, in case of pie charts).
• Legends now support icons for each data series.
• Better management of labels on charts. Labels now have an auto rendering mode to prevent them from overlapping, the chart selects the best display mode for labels depending on the length of the labels and the width of the chart. Long labels are truncated, with ellipses appended to the truncated end of each label, and a tooltip bearing the completed label text is displayed when the user hovers over a truncated label.
• Support for line breaks and wrapping in all text elements including: caption, sub caption, X-axis title, Y-axis title, Labels and tooltips.
• In Line charts, data values can now be positioned either above or below the dataplots. Automatic positioning of data values is also supported.
• Custom alignment of caption and sub caption using STYLES
• Advanced print management using JavaScript
• Additional options for efficient event handling using JavaScript
• Support for dynamic update of chart properties using JavaScript(barring select scatter and drag charts)
• Charts now support % based sizes along with dynamic resizing (barring select scatter and drag charts)

PowerCharts v3.1 - 25th February, 2009

• New: Ability to export charts as PNG/JPG/PDF at client side or server side. We've also devised a batch export mechanism at client side, which allows you to export all the charts in a page as a single image/PDF using one-click.
• New: Ability to use multi-lingual text in rotated fonts as well. We now use bitmap fonts to render all UTF-8 characters.
• New: Ability to specify labels for vLines and also to configure position of vLines and labels.
• New: Ability to copy data from chart as CSV using context menu, or JavaScript function.
• New: Personalization of chart - you can now add your logos over the chart, and also add an "About your company" to chart's context menu and link it to your URL
• New: DisplayValue attribute - Each data plot can now display a text value (instead of just the numeric value), allowing a sort of annotation to be rendered for each data point.
• New: Support for custom palettes for data point. You can now specify a list of colors that the chart will use for rendering data plots (column, pie, bar, line etc.). This allows for global configuration of palettes.
• Improved: Support for automatic wrapping in caption/sub-caption and tool-tips.
• Improved: More control over chart using JavaScript - many new APIs and events exposed by chart.
