New Features

  • Cartesian series now have the DataLabelsTranslate property that let us align data labels with a lot of flexibility, for example:

.

  • We can now place PieSeries labels at the Outer position

.

Improvements

Column, row, stacked column an stacked row series have a lot of improvements. Now StackedColumn inherits from Column series and StackedRow inherits from Row series, this fixed multiple issues because the code was dirty and hard to maintain.

Also column and row series are easier to read now, now bars that share the same secondary coordinate are drawn together.

old versions:

.

now:

.

The Padding property is new in bar series, it indicates the distance to the next bar and replaces the GroupPadidng propeprrty.

Deprecated

ColumnSeries.GroupPadidng, RowSeries.GroupPadidng, StackedColumnSeries.GroupPadidng, StackedRowSeries.GroupPadidng are obsoletes and were replaced by ColumnSeries.Padidng, RowSeries.Padidng, StackedColumnSeries.Padidng, StackedRowSeries.Padidng properties.

issues fixed

#502 and #504 fixed an issue where gaps were not generate properly in the LineSeries. #497 fixed and issue where gauges labels color was not changing according to the theme. #503 fixed a bug where the line series was kept in the UI even when the data was cleared. #391 Tooltips are now placed correctly when the legend is visible.

beta.200

2 years ago

This release introduces many new features: adds support for Uno Platform, a new web site, updates Maui to RC2, adds support for Eto.Forms, improves drastically zooming and panning in touch devices (Uno, Maui and Xamarin).

Welcome Uno Platform

There was a step missing for LiveCharts2 to be a real cross platform library, LiveCharts2 is now in Uno Platform!

The LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Uno NuGet package provides 'ready-to-go' assemblies for Uno at UWP (10.0.18362), Wasm (net 6), Wpf (net 6), GTK (net 6) and Android (net 6). We keep working in the IOS, MacCatalyst and MacOS flavors.

New web site

You can now visit https://lvcharts.com/ to browse the samples, or to explore the assemblies in this repository.

Both (samples and API explorer) are generated automatically based on this repo, so feel free to create a PR in this repo to improve anything in the documentation.

Huge improvements to touch devices

In previous versions it worked in touch devices but it was using the same logic as desktop platforms, now zooming and panning feels natural in touch devices, you should now notice how the chart follows your fingers as you move the chart and it has also a cool bounce animation when you reach an edge, the following video was recorder in the Xamarin sample, but it is also implemented in Uno (Android) and Maui:

Welcome Eto.Forms

Thanks to @rafntor for adding the Eto.Forms View and the samples.

Updated Maui to RC2

Now Maui package is updated and working with RC 2, notice there is an issue in Maui rc2 detecting gestures https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/6553.

UWP package is obsolete now

The LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.UWP will no longer receive new updates, instead it was replaced by LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Uno, just install the Uno package and everything will work as it used to, you also need to rename the namespaces from LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.UWP to LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Uno.

Assemblies are not strong-named anymore

From MS docs and also GitHub:

For .NET Core and .NET 5+, strong-named assemblies do not provide material benefits. The runtime never validates the strong-name signature, nor does it use the strong-name for assembly binding.

Strong named assemblies will not be provided by the library anymore, but when you need strong named assemblies, I added the pack.ps1 file at the root of the repo, this tool helps you to build and pack the assemblies in the library, then it is up to you to strong name them.

Multiple fixed issues.

Blazor Web Assembly version

This release includes the Blazor WebAssembly package, we can now run LiveCharts in the browser using dotnet 6 rc2, it is an early version but most of the features are supported now.

WinUI version

The WinUI package was updated from PrjectReunion 0.8.0 to Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK experimental-1 package.

Maui version

Maui keeps evolving and changing a lot every in every preview, the development of this package is paused by now.

Fixed issues

  • Fixed UWP NuGet package installation issues #145.
  • Fixed WinUI NuGet package installation issues #192 #212
  • Fixed an issue where the series could disappear from the UI #235
  • Fixed a possible NRE, see #244 (@Maximilian-Renner)
  • Fixed an issue where tooltips were not fired in the accurate position (@wenya90)
  • Fixed an issue where charts were not saving as images #231 (@aspion-ae).
  • Improved maps, maps have a new API that enables animations and will support more shapes in a map, such as indicators and new series #197 #209 #224, there is some work to do there yet but this is a good start.

Breaking changes

Sadly the maps API has changed, it is a necessary change to build better maps, it is a small but breaking change, see #197 for more info.
