AG Charts 11.2 is an important minor release which adds a number of new capabilities to our JavaScript Charting Library:
- Shared and Compact Tooltip Modes
- Tooltip Pagination
- Gradient and Pattern Fills
- Options Validation and Suggestions
- Figma Design System Assets
It also includes many smaller feature enhancements and stability improvements.
As this is a minor version there are no breaking changes for anyone upgrading from AG Charts 11. However, we recommend reviewing the release notes when planning to update to this version. You can also see the full list of changes.
Shared and Compact Tooltip Modes
Shared tooltip mode shows a merged tooltip, combining the tooltips of all series sharing the same x-value. This allows for easy comparison of all the series values for the same category.
Compact tooltip mode shows only minimal information and is useful for smaller chart sizes.
See this documented here and illustrated below:
Tooltip Pagination
Tooltip Pagination allows viewing the tooltips of multiple overlapping chart series nodes. When hovering over two or more items, repeated clicks of the mouse will cycle through all the tooltips for the overlapping nodes at that location.
See this documented here and illustrated below:
Gradient and Pattern Fills
Series items can now be styled with Gradient or Pattern Fills. This not only makes charts more appealing, but also allows better differentiation between series.
See this documented here and illustrated below:
Options Validation and Suggestions
Provided chart options are validated at runtime, with improved warnings which include suggestions for correct options. When an invalid option value is provided, the chart gracefully falls back to a sensible default value and prints a console warning.
See this illustrated below:
Figma Design System Assets
The AG Grid Figma Design System now contains AG Charts components and templates to aid you in mocking up and theming AG Charts applications.
See this documented here and illustrated below:
