amCharts for WPF 1.0 Beta was released Today, as promised. The main addition to this release is support for column & bar charts. Some bugs were fixed and minor changes were made along the way. See change log below for the complete list.

 

You can download the latest version through our download page. As always amCharts for WPF are FREE under linkware license and commercial licenses are sold with 50% until the end of this week. The prices will go up on Monday, April 6, 2009.

Here’s a change log for the 1.0 Beta release:

1. FEATURE ADDED: added support for Column and Bar charts
2. FEATURE ADDED: SerialChart (line, column): IsStartedOnAxis property to offset category axis and grid values half a step from the boundaries. If true – no offset, false – offset.
3. BREAKING CHANGE: type of PlotAreaBorderThickness changed from Thickness to double
4. BUGFIX: ReverseOrder in Legend wasn’t working properly
5. BUGFIX: SerialChart (line, column): guides and category guides weren’t invalidated/redrawn on zooming, resizing, etc.
6. BUGFIX: SerialChart (line, column): Guides with StartValue/EndValue outside of plot area weren’t clipped properly.
7. BUGFIX: SerialChart (line chart): IsEnabled setting of the graph wasn’t taken into account when calculating values of stacked graphs.

Current release is mostly feature-complete speaking about major features. We might throw in a couple of new smaller features before the final 1.0 release but the top priority for now is polishing what’s already implemented and providing you with stable, optimized, full-featured charting solution for your WPF applications.

Here are some areas we plan to improve before the stable realease:

• better balloon text/layout customization support;
• more properties which could be used in data labels and balloons;
• more events;
• improved performance;
• more samples and documentation.

Your feedback is especially crucial at this stage, so, if there are some features missing that you want to see in the next or future releases or you found some bug or quirk, we urge you to report it through our forums.
