New Map Series Types

AG Charts now includes new Map Series Types for visualising geographical data. These divide into three types which can be used independently or combined to provide contextual or additional data.

See this documented here and illustrated below.

Map Series for Geographic Areas

Maps allow displaying data related to geographic regions, either with a fixed colour for each series, or by using a colour scale.

See this documented here and illustrated below.

Map Series for Routes and Connections

The map allows visualising routes as lines, or show connections between two fixed points. Additional information can be displayed by varying the colour or width of each line.

See this documented here and illustrated below.

Map Series for Markers and Points Of Interest

Maps allow denoting specific geographic locations using markers. These can be customised to any shape, and also sized proportionally to the associated datapoint.

See this documented here and illustrated below.

Rounded Corners for All Bar Series

It is now possible to display rounded corners for the Bar, Range-Bar, Histogram and Boxplot series. This helps deliver a customized and streamlined appearance of your charts.

See this documented here and illustrated below.
