Exontrol's ExGraph component is a versatile data visualization tool designed to handle a wide range of charting needs. It supports numerous chart types - ranging from simple line charts to complex radar charts - all within a single view. Beyond its powerful charting features, ExGraph offers seamless print and print preview capabilities, allowing users to easily produce high-quality hard copies of their charts. Additionally, the component supports customizable skins, enabling users to enhance the visual appearance and overall viewing experience with ease.

Features include: 

1. Charting Capabilities

• Supports multiple chart types in the same view:
  • area-compatible
    • "area", an area chart or area graph displays graphically quantitative data. It is based on the line chart. The area between axis and line are commonly emphasized with colors, textures and hatchings. Commonly one compares two or more quantities with an area chart. (data requires array of numbers, supports vertical field, scrollable)
    • "column", a column chart or column graph is a chart or graph that presents categorical data with rectangular columns with heights proportional to the values that they represent. A horizontal column chart is called a bar chart. (data requires array of numbers, supports vertical field, scrollable)
    • "waterfall", a waterfall chart is a form of data visualization that helps in understanding the cumulative effect of sequentially introduced positive or negative values. These intermediate values can either be time based or category based. The waterfall chart is also known as a flying bricks chart or Mario chart due to the apparent suspension of columns (bricks) in mid-air. Often in finance, it will be referred to as a bridge. (data requires array of numbers, supports vertical field, scrollable)
    • "line", a line chart or line graph, also known as curve chart is a type of chart which displays information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. It is a basic type of chart common in many fields. It is similar to a scatter plot except that the measurement points are ordered (typically by their x-axis value) and joined with straight line segments. A line chart is often used to visualize a trend in data over intervals of time - a time series - thus the line is often drawn chronologically. In these cases they are known as run charts. (data requires array of numbers, supports vertical field, scrollable)
    • "rangearea", a range chart displays sets of data points, each of which is defined by multiple values for the same category, and emphasizes the distance between the two values. The category labels are displayed on the category axis. The plain Range chart fills in the area between the top and the bottom value for each data point. (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[from, to]], supports vertical field, scrollable)
    • "rangecolumn", a range column chart displays information as a range of data by plotting two Y-values (low and high) per data point. The vertical axis shows the values, and the horizontal axis shows the categories they belong to; in multiple-series range column charts, values are grouped by categories. (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[from, to]], supports vertical field, scrollable)
    • "candlestick", a candlestick chart (also called Japanese candlestick chart or K-line) is a style of financial chart used to describe price movements of a security, derivative, or currency. While similar in appearance to a bar chart, each candleStick represents four important pieces of information for that day: open and close in the thick body, and high and low in the "candle wick". Being densely packed with information, it tends to represent trading patterns over short periods of time, often a few days or a few trading sessions. (data requires array of array of four-numbers, such as [[open, high, low and close]], supports vertical field, scrollable)
    • "ohlc", an open-high-low-close chart (also OHLC) is a type of chart typically used to illustrate movements in the price of a financial instrument over time. Each vertical line on the chart shows the price range (the highest and lowest prices) over one unit of time, e.g., one day or one hour. Tick marks project from each side of the line indicating the opening price (e.g., for a daily bar chart this would be the starting price for that day) on the left, and the closing price for that time period on the right. The bars may be shown in different hues depending on whether prices rose or fell in that period. (data requires array of array of four-numbers, such as [[open, high, low and close]], supports vertical field, scrollable)
  • xy-compatible
    • "scatterarea", a scatter area chart is similar with "scatterLine" type, excepts that scatter plots zone is filled. (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[x, y]], supports vertical field, non-scrollable)
    • "scatter", a scatter plot (also called a scatterplot, scatter graph, scatter chart, scattergram, or scatter diagram) is a type of plot or mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for typically two variables for a set of data. (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[x, y]], supports vertical field, non-scrollable)
    • "scatterline", a scatter line chart is similar with "scatter" type, excepts that lines are shown between scatter plots. (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[x, y]], supports vertical field, non-scrollable)
      "bubble", a bubble chart or bubble plot is a type of chart that displays three dimensions of data (a bubble chart is an extension of the scatter plot used to look at relationships between three numeric variables.). Each entity with its triplet (v1, v2, v3) of associated data is plotted as a disk that expresses two of the vi values through the disk's xy location and the third through its size. Bubble charts can facilitate the understanding of social, economical, medical, and other scientific relationships. (data requires array of array of three-numbers, such as [[x, y, size]], supports vertical field, non-scrollable)
  • radar-compatible
    • "radararea", a radar chart is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point. The relative position and angle of the axes is typically uninformative, but various heuristics, such as algorithms that plot data as the maximal total area, can be applied to sort the variables (axes) into relative positions that reveal distinct correlations, trade-offs, and a multitude of other comparative measures. (data requires array of numbers, non-scrollable)
    • "radarcolumn", displays data in radial columns starting from one center point. The circle is divided into equal portions depending on the number of columns and each column group occupies one portion (similar with "radarArea" type, data requires array of numbers, non-scrollable)
      "radarline", similar with radarArea type. (data requires array of numbers, non-scrollable)
  • polar-compatible
    • "polararea", represents data points connected with straight line segments that enclose a filled area together with the chart pole (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[angle, value]], non-scrollable)
    • "polarline", represents data points connected with straight line segments (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[angle, value]], non-scrollable)
    • "polarscatter", shows the serie as non-connected data points (data requires array of array of two-numbers, such as [[angle, value]], non-scrollable)
  • pie-compatible
    • "pie", a pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic which is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each slice (and consequently its central angle and area) is proportional to the quantity it represents. While it is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been sliced, there are variations on the way it can be presented. (data requires array of numbers, non-scrollable)
