| |  |  |  | |  | | Nevron Chart for SharePoint (WSS and MOSS) - Version History | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |  | | Version 2011.1 |
| | | | | | | - Parameters and drill down reports - this exciting new feature allows for the development of interactive dashboards and drill down reports. Parameters can be consumed from any expression, they can be passed as arguments to the newly added JumpToReport action. Parameters can also be directly integrated into any SharePoint page.
- SharePoint List and WebPartTable data sources connection - the Chart Web Part has the ability to connect to SharePoint List and WebPartTable data sources that reside in a StaticSite (fixed site), CurrentSite (dynamic site) and CurrentWeb (dynamic web). The site resolution mode allows you to develop web parts templates that can be directly deployed to production environments without the need to refactor the data source connection.
- WebParts Config File - the new Web Parts Config File provides the ability to globally (per site-server) configure some user interface elements visibility and some aspects of the web parts behavior through a configuration file. This allows you to fine tune the web parts to perform better and more reliably in the context of your SharePoint environment.
- Charts are now using deferred rendering - this allows for the instant showing of very complex SharePoint pages as the Nevron Chart Web Part will defer the data aggregation and rendering tasks in separate AJAX requests to the server. This allows for faster data processing that fully utilizes your server capabilities, as separate AJAX requests can be handled by different threads of your server. It also helps the user to actually see what is currently being processed, opposed to the immediate rendering mode in which the SharePoint page gets served to the client after all web parts have aggregated the data and rendered the respective visual representation.
- Automatic Refresh - the Chart Web Part can now be instructed to automatically refresh itself at the client side, at user specified intervals of time. This allows for the development of real time dashboards that automatically update themselves at the client side through AJAX, and eliminates the need for manual web page refresh.
- Web Part Designer - the Chart designer now show the current user, site and web and other info about the context of which they are performing the web part editing.
- Image Fill Style - a new Image Fill Style has been added to all Fill Style editors. This feature allows you to display image based textures on all chart elements that have an associated fill style.
- Connection to Custom Web Parts - provides the ability to connect the Chart web part to other web parts that implement the IWebPartTable interface. This allows you to develop custom web parts that surface any type of data, that cannot be accessed by the currently available data source connections.
- Performance Improvements - the Chart control document building and rendering has been completely revised. As a result you should see significant speed improvement.
- Non-Overlapping Data Labels - all charting types (Cartesian, Polar and Radar charts) now support automatic data label layout. The data label layout prevents labels from overlapping in both ordinal and scatter charts and works in 2D and 3D appearance modes.
- Const Lines and Const Ranges with texts - the Chart axes have been extended to support const lines with texts as well as const ranges.
- Axis Orientation - all Cartesian axes now support the axis orientation feature.
- XML formatted texts - the XML formatted texts feature is extended to support additional XML tags that allows you to specify the text background and border.
- Line and Point Charts data resampling - the Line and Point charting types support options for automatic data resampling. This allows for the visualization of very large datasets.
- Chart Legends Improvements - the legends have additional layout options - added are the Horizontal and Vertical wrap options that allow the legend to automatically wrap the items when the horizontal or vertical space allocated for it is exceeded.
- Chart Aspect in 2D - Chart areas have additional options that allow finer control over the chart aspect in 2D.
- Additional Features - the Area, Line, Pie, Error Bar, Step Line, Point and Surface charting types have additional features.
- New Chart Examples - several new Chart examples have been included with the new version.
- Additional Improvements:
- You no longer need to be the site administrator to visually browse the sites, webs, lists and views.
- The Web Parts are now using only FIPS (stands for "U.S. Government Federal Information Processing Standards") compliant cryptography algorithms. This allows for the safe deployment of Nevron Web Parts to FIPS enabled SharePoint servers.
- The Web Parts are no longer using state files – resolved permission/security issues and improves the web parts behavior in farm environments.
- Connecting to Excel Services has been fixed.
- The SPLIT function from the formula engine has been added.

-
Code Customization - the chart web part allow for users with development experience to inject custom C# or VB.NET code, which is compiled and executed at runtime.

-
Actions can now be associated with the chart walls and axes.
-
New visual expression editor (Fx editor) that lets you author expressions visually and more quickly. The Fx editor is available at all places where an expression can be specified (grouping, filtering, sorting expressions, titles, labels, chart data values, gauge formulas etc.).
-
New statistical functions - MEDIAN, PERCENTILE, VARIANCE and STDDEV.
-
New type functions - TONUM, TODATETIME, TOBOOL.
-
Fixes:
- Visually the rendering Width/Height of the chart was clamped on specific non English servers (language dependent).
- Text editors are now implemented as text areas, thus allowing for texts with any markup to be used.
- The chart interference problem with other third party web parts has been fixed.

- 3D Charting - Nevron Chart for SharePoint has the best layout in 3D and the most advanced feature set in 3D - including: 11 predefined lighting modes, largest charting types set in 3D, biggest set of shapes in 3D (applicable to pies, bars, markers, areas etc.).
- 2D Charting - Nevron Chart for SharePoint is the only chart for SharePoint to provide Adobe Photoshop like image filter effects, which are applicable to all chart elements - these include bevel, emboss, lighting filters etc. When it comes to shadows it is the only chart for SharePoint which has soft shadows (based on Gaussian and Radial blur image filters).
- 2D/3D Consistency - Nevron Chart for SharePoint is consistent in 2D/3D modes. For example you can map gradients and patterns to elements in both 2D and 3D. Colors specified in 2D are inherited by materials in 3D. You can mix 2D and 3D chart areas in a single chart control.
- XY and XYZ scatters - the industry leading support for XY and XYZ scatters inside SharePoint.
- XML Formatted Texts - this feature is applicable to all elements which display text. It allows you to mix fonts, mix bold, italic underline formatting and many other advanced features like different fill styles, shadows, image filters etc. - all inside a single label, title etc. XML formatted texts use a format similar to HTML, but with many more advanced options.
- Blazing Fast Chart Designer - Nevron Chart for SharePoint features an advanced chart designer, which is built with jQuery UI. The chart designer supports all major web browsers and does not require any pluggins (like Silverlight or Flash). It does not use postbacks, MS ASP.NET controls or MS AJAX, which ensures that the client-server communication is brought to a minimum. The server-side UI processing is pure HTML and script rendering. The client-side is pure HTML, CSS and jQuery JavaScript.
