Visifire v1.0.11 Beta is released with the most coveted feature: Secondary Y Axis. Visifire is now compatible with Silverlight 2 Beta 2. You can download the latest release from the download page. 

New Feature:

• Secondary Y Axis - In the DataSeries use AxisYType="Secondary" to specify the reference axis for the DataSeries and Visifire automatically creates the secondary axis. To change the settings of the Secondary Y Axis just create a regular AxisY and set the attribute as AxisType="Secondary". If this attribute is not set then the default axis type will be "Primary". Have a look at the Visifire Gallery for charts having Secondary Y Axis.

Bug Fixes / Enhancements:

• ToolTipEnabled property for trend line was redundant, as providing ToolTipText enables it automatically. Hence it was removed.
• ScalingEnabled property for AxisX/AxisY was redundant, as providing ScalingSets enables it automatically. Hence it was removed.
• Exception was being thrown in Area Charts if there was only one DataPoint in a DataSeries.

We have released Visifire 1.0.10 Beta with some major features and bug fixes. With this release we have introduced JavaScript based event handling support. This was one of the most requested feature. You can download the latest release from the download page.

Visifire now supports MouseEvents like  MouseLeftButtonDown, MouseLeftButtonUp, MouseMove, MouseEnter, MouseLeave. You can refer to our documentation for further details. Below is a summary of this release.

Bug Fixes:

• ToolTip was not appearing on the beveled region of DataPoint. Now it has been fixed.
• Whenever relative path is used in Href, XAP file path was getting used as the base URI. Now the path of web page in which the chart is embedded is taken as base URI. So all paths are relative to the web page.
• When all values are negative in 100% stacked charts the Axis would take the limit as 150 to -100 instead of 0 to -100.
• In order to create step chart, users had to write the DataPoints with same XValue in Reverse order.
• TitleBackground and TitleFontColor for the Legend Title were not working.
• In Stacked charts if all YValues are zero then AxisManager used to throw exception. Now it is handled properly.
• If animation was type4 and if the Pie/Doughnut was clicked before the Type4 animation was complete, then it would cause an improper positioning of Pie/Doughnut.

New Features:

• Event handling support in JavaScript.
• Cursor Property for all Chart elements - Sets the mouse cursor type when it moves over an element
• MarkerImageStretch property in DataSeries and DataPoint - Sets how the image should be stretched inside the marker to fill it.
• StartFromZero property for AxisX. In previous version, it was applicable only for AxisY.

Thanks for your attention,

Visifire v1.0.9 beta has been released. We have fixed a few minor bugs. Below is a summary of this release.

Bug Fixes:

• Animation duration had a bug where, if duration is less than a particular value, animation used to fail.
• Zero valued DataPoint for Pie or Doughnut were causing exception. Now they are valid inputs.
• In some cases, on click of a sector in 2D Pie/Doughnut Charts, Label used to move out of the plot area as the Pie Explodes.
• In managed code, mouse events on DataPoint used to send canvas or path as parameter (sender) rather than sending DataPoint.
• If there were two or more charts in the same Data XML, Legend used to appear only for the first chart.

Visifire has been using dual licensing scheme since it was launched.

1. Open Source License under GPL 3.0
2. Commercial License for companies which are considering Visifire for their non-GPL applications.

Initially we had not made the commercial licensing options public and we were responding to individual queries. But due to the volume of requests that we started receiving, we felt the need to make it public so that the companies and individuals who are considering Visifire for their non-GPL applications can know the commercial licensing options quickly.

You can get more information in the license page.

We are happy to announce that Visifire V1.0 Beta has been released. Visifire is a Silverlight based Open Source data visualization component which you can use to create stunning charts within minutes. We have put effort to make sure that you get the best looking charts with minimal effort and time. You need not know anything about Silverlight to use Visifire charts. Simple HTML knowledge is enough. All charts come in a single package of approximately 135KB.

We started working on this project since Silverlight 1.1 Alpha was released. Though recently we ported the code to Silverlight 2.0, most of the code in this project uses SL1.1 features. We are in the process of refactoring the code to make the best use of what Silverlight 2.0 provides.

In order to showcase the features of Visifire, we have created a web based Chart Designer. Chart Designer can help you to create charts quickly. But it contains only a subset of Visifire properties. You can edit the generated XML for fine control.

You can see all currently available chart types in our Chart Gallery . Yeah! We will becoming up with additional chart types soon!!…

Thank you for your attention,

Visifire Team.
