Charting

• Calculated Fields - This release includes calculated field support. Calculated fields allow you to apply an expression to data source fields.
• Edit Annotations at Runtime - End-users can now create text and image annotations via Ribbon commands (Add Text Annotation / Add Image Annotation). If the RuntimeEditing option is enabled, end-users can change existing annotations - edit text and replace images, or delete them via the Delete key.
• New DateTime Axis Mode - v20.1 includes a new SkipRangesWithoutPoints option. Enable it to automatically exclude all axis ranges without data points. This feature is especially useful for financial charting - you no longer need to manually define non-working date intervals.
• Constant Lines - Runtime Editing - End-users can now add constant lines via Ribbon commands (Add Vertical Constant Line / Add Horizontal Constant Line). End-users can move a constant line, edit its title, or delete the line (via the Delete key). The new ConstantLineMoved event occurs when a user moves a constant line.
• Side Points - v20.1 includes the new Side Points chart element. You can configure markers and labels for the first and last series points independent of other series points.

Gantt Control

• Task Dependencies: Types, Lags, and Performance Improvements - The Gantt Control now supports different dependency types: start-to-start, start-to-finish, finish-to-start, and finish-to-finish. If the mouse pointer hovers over a dependency arrow, users can move the dependency from one successor to another or remove the dependency. To create a new dependency, use pointers displayed at a task's edge. To specify dependencies, use a separate data source. A data source record represents a dependency. The record should contain the predecessor, successor, and dependency type. You can also set a time lag between predecessor and successor. If a user moves a predecessor, the control automatically reschedules all its successors with respect to the time lag. Also improved dependency rendering performance for applications that use large amounts of data.
• Interactive Editing - The WinForms Gantt Control now supports interactive editing. Users can edit tasks in the chart and task areas. In the task area, users can invoke a cell editor to update a task's start/finish date, progress, or duration. In the chart area, users can move a task to a new time slot, update progress, or change a dependency via drag and drop. Changes in the chart area are automatically reflected in the task area, and vice versa.
• Auto-Scheduling - The WinForms Gantt Control now offers automatic schedule mode support. When a user changes a task's start/finish date, dependency, or progress, the Gantt control automatically reschedules all dependent tasks throughout the project.
