You need charts in a desktop or web app, and you need more than a basic bar and line control. You want 3D surfaces, financial charts, gauges and zooming, without writing your own rendering code. Nevron Chart for .NET is built for that job.

Key features
One API for desktop and web charts
You write against a single API for both desktop and web apps. That covers WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC, so you don't need a different charting library for each.
170+ chart types in 2D and 3D
The control supports 170+ charting types for business, scientific, financial, statistical, BI, dashboard and real-time monitoring uses. It also includes a set of gauges and KPIs.
Flexible axes and built-in financial and statistical functions
You can use categorical, linear, logarithmic, date time and timeline axes. Financial and statistical functions are built in, and data and axis labels avoid overlapping.
Interactive charts users can explore
Users can zoom and pan the data, scroll axes, see tooltips and click on chart elements through hit testing. Chart layouts resize with docking, anchoring and percentages.
Export to ten formats, with 400+ examples
You can export to PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, SVG, EMF, Flash, PDF and XAML. The package comes with more than 400 examples to start from, and data binding is supported.
Who it's for
It suits .NET developers who need dense, interactive 2D and 3D charts in WinForms, WPF or ASP.NET projects. It also suits teams that already use Nevron charts and want to keep maintaining those apps.
