Nevron Chart for SharePoint General Features

Point Chart Subtypes: - Series, XY Scatter, XYZ Scatter

Bubble Charts - available in 2D and 3D - Bubble Charts display multi dimensional data as points in a Cartesian coordinate system. The size of each point is determined by an additional size value. The actual size of the bubble is interpolated to be in the MinSize - MaxSize range.

• Bubble Chart Subtypes: - Series, XY Scatter, XYZ Scatter
• Bubble Chart Shapes: - Bar, Cylinder, Cone, Inverted Cone, Pyramid, Inverted Pyramid, Sphere, Ellipse, Cross, Diagonal Cross, Line Cross, Line Diagonal Cross, Star

Float Bar Charts - available in 2D and 3D - A Floating Bar Chart displays a sequence of vertical bars, each bar representing a one-dimensional value range. A Floating Bar chart can be used as a Gantt chart if the Y axis is in date-time scale mode. Gantt charts are popular in project management for planning the use of resources over time.

• Float Bar Chart Subtypes: - Series, Clustered, Stacked, XY Scatter, XYZ Scatter, XYZ Scatter Stacked
• Float Bar Chart Shapes: - Bar, Cylinder, Cone, Inverted Cone, Pyramid, Inverted Pyramid, Ellipsoid, Smooth Edge Bar, Cut Edge Bar

High Low Charts - available in 2D and 3D - A High-Low Chart displays a sequence of data points, each representing a one-dimensional value range. The begin values of consecutive data points are connected with a "low" line. The end values are connected with a "high" line. The area between these two lines is filled with different colors, depending on whether the "high" line runs above or below the "low" line.

• High-Low Chart Subtypes: - Series, XY Scatter

Stock Charts - available in 2D and 3D - Stock charts are used to plot stock data, usually over time. Stock charts use color coding to distinguish between stock prices, which went up or down when the stock closed.

• Stock Chart Subtypes: - Series, XY Scatter
• Stock Chart Shapes: - OHLC stick, HLC stick, Candle Stick

Funnel Charts - available in 2D and 3D - The Funnel Chart is similar to a Stacked Percent Bar Chart with only one category. It represents 100% of the summary values for the data items included in the chart. Funnel Charts are often used to represent stages in a sales process and show the amount of potential revenue for each stage. This type of chart can also be useful in identifying potential problem areas in an organization's sales processes. Nevron Funnel Chart provides control over labeling, neck width and height and points gap.

Radar Charts - available only in 2D - A Radar Chart plots the values of each category along a separate axis that radiates from the center of the chart and ends on the outer ring. A line connects all the values from the same series and optionally the area enclosed by the line can be filled.

• Radar Chart Subtypes: - Lines, Areas

Polar Charts - available only in 2D - Polar Charts display 2-dimensional data points in a polar coordinate system. The position of a point is specified by its distance from the center and a rotation angle. The points are connected by a line and optionally the area enclosed by the line can be filled.

• Polar Chart Subtypes:- Lines, Areas, Points

Surface Charts - available only in 3D - Surface Charts display a surface connecting the adjacent data points. Multiple series are not supported by surface charts. That is why only one series is created which takes the properties of the first values data grouping displayed in the Surface Chart chart area. Additional series append values to this series (in the case of a Mesh Surface) or add depth to the surface grid (in the case of Grid Surface).

• Surface Chart Subtypes:- Grid, Mesh, Triangulated
• Drawing Modes:- Scaled, Flat at Axis Begin, Flat and Axis End

Combo Charts - available in 2D and 3D - Combo Charts are used to combine certain series types within the same chart area. Series types are specified per values data groupings. There are many per series type options. You can combine the following series types: Bar, Area, Smooth Area, Line, Smooth Line, Step Line, Point, Bubble, High Low and Stock.

• Combo Charts Subtypes:- Series, XY Scatter

Nevron Chart for SharePoint Chart Axes Features - Complete set of axis-related features designed to target even the most compelling charting requirements. The axes are largely automatic, allowing you to focus on your project, but if needed you can customize every aspect of their appearance and behavior.

• Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes - Nevron Chart for SharePoint supports Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes. You can specify the X and Y axes on which each values data grouping (chart series) is scaled. Advanced settings allow you to make use of axis crossings, docking and percent positioning.
• Depth Axis - In 3D charting, the axis model is extended with an additional depth (Z) axis. The Z axis allows data to be plotted along the depth of the chart. It automatically scales in Numeric or Categorical scale mode, allowing the creation of XYZ scatters and XZ-plane categorical plots.
• Special Radar and Polar Axes - Special Radar and Polar axes are exposed for Radar and Polar charting types. These aim to provide advanced settings for complex requirements related to these charting types.
• Numeric Scale - The Numeric Scale is automatically selected, depending on the respective chart dimension type. The following sub-modes are available:
• Number scale - displays any data in numeric format (profit, sales, percentages etc.)
• Angular scale - displays angular data in degrees, radians or grads (used in polar charts).
• DateTime scale - suitable for display of date-time data.
• ValueTimeline scale - advanced date-time scale, widely used in financial charts.
• RangeTimeline scale - advanced date-time scale, widely used in financial and project management charts.
• Categorical Scale - The Categorical Scale is automatically selected, depending on the respective chart dimension type. It has the following advanced features:  supports unlimited grouping levels, grouped and single-row labels, mutliple presets for groupings appearance and layout.
• Advanced Axis Positioning Options - Axes can be docked to the chart sides (or polar rim) or crossed with another axis (at value or percent). In addition, axes can share a single chart edge.
• Axis Title - Full control over the appearance, position and angle of the axis titles. The axis titles text supports advanced rich-text formatting.
• Ruler - Control over the begin and end ruler caps appearance and shape. Option to highlight scale breaks on the ruler.
• Axis Range - Nevron Chart for SharePoint provides control over the axis range. Ability to inflate that range in several modes.
• Gridlines - Nevron Chart for SharePoint supports major and minor gridlines, with full appearance customization and control over the walls on which they are displayed.
• Ticks - Support for major and minor ticks with control over their appearance and position.
• Axis Stripes  - Axis Stripes highlight repeating ranges of data on the chart walls, with a controllable show/hide pattern.
• Axis Sections - Axis Sections conditionally modify the appearance of axis ticks, gridlines and labels, provided they are within a user-specified data range(s). This feature helps you to highlight important ranges of data along the axis.
• Const Lines - Const Lines show constant lines (reference lines) at user-specified value(s). In 3D mode they are displayed as planes perpendicular to their owner axis.
• Breaks - Axis Scale Breaks skip a range of values on the axis. They are used to increase the readability of the chart, in cases when the data is clustered in distant data ranges (for example: half the data points are around 100 and the other half are around 1,000,000). Without scale breaks, such data cannot be visually compared. Nevron Chart for SharePoint provides support for manual and automatic scale breaks with full control over appearance and behavior. X and Y scale breaks can be crossed. Scale breaks are also displayed in 3D Mode (unique feature).
• Label Layout - Nevron Chart for SharePoint provides advanced axis-label layout options, which let you resolve very complex axis-label overlapping cases.
• Label Formatting - Label Formatting controls the formatting of values along numeric scales. Many advanced options for currency, percentage, scientific and date time label formatting are available.

Nevron Chart for SharePoint  Data Aggregation Features

• Nevron Chart for SharePoint uses the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine. A simplified pivot charting model was first introduced in MS Excel - if you are using this feature of MS Excel then you already know the basics of pivot charting and its power.
• In MS Excel, data groupings are simply created for field values and a predefined set of aggregate functions are available for calculating the series data point values.
• In Nevron Chart for SharePoint you use expressions to define how the data is grouped, filtered and sorted. Expressions can reference field values from the data set and you can use numerous mathematical, statistical, logical, date-time, and text functions to define complex grouping, filtering and sorting rules. Special aggregate functions are available for computing aggregate values (like sum, average etc.)
• Because the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine is data source invariant, this allows you to create pivot charts from any data source, which can provide a table representation of its data.
• Because Nevron Chart for SharePoint and Nevron Chart for Reporting Services are built on top of the Nevron Pivot Component framework, they are generally having the same functionality and features. This helps you streamline your IT reporting efforts and reduce your IT staff learning curve - be it SharePoint or Reporting Services - you know that Nevron provides the same powerful and consistent pivot charting functionality.
