Headless modeThe headless mode allows LC to be used without GUI e.g. in Windows Services and on Console applications. Example use case is generating chart pictures for reports or web pages.In headless mode, the chart frames are captured as images. The bitmaps can be acquired e.g. by utilizing· OutputStream property· SaveToStream method· CopyToClipboard method· CaptureToByArray method· SaveToFile methodThe service can be set running e.g. in a local network server or a Windows Server running in a cloud.In inter-process communication, between Windows Application and Windows Service, e.g. Named pipes or Socket I/O communication can be used.There is a new Headless mode demo solution included in the SDK. It uses Windows server on the local computer. WPF application takes a connection to it with Named Pipes and shows the image stream the service sends.
BaseLevel in ViewXY’s BarSeries BaseLevel property added in BarSeries is a series minimum value for all series values and tells bar start position. In Stacked view, it will increase (if positive) or decrease (if negative) the size of the bar. If StackedToSum, the bar size is relative and calculated like Stacked.
MeshModels programmatical construction MeshModel supports constructing the MeshModel geometry programmatically. It allows visualizing objects and shapes that have been produced as a result of computation.The following Create methods are available· Create(positions, colors, indices)· Create(positions, colors, normals, indices)· Create(positions, textureCoordinates, bitmap, textureWrapMode, indices)· Create(positions, normals, textureCoordinates, bitmap, textureWrapMode, indices)Index array (indices) parameter is optional for all methods. If provided they will define which vertices, colors, light normals and texture coordinates to use from the arrays given. Using indices saves resources when same vertices are shared between multiple triangles.
Single dimension zooming in 3D Allows zooming one dimension only, by dragging with a mouse.New options for controlling single dimension zooming were added under ZoomPanOptions. LeftMouseButtonAction, RightMouseButtonAction and MiddleMouseButtonAction properties now have new options of ZoomX, ZoomY and ZoomZ.
Legend boxes in ViewXY, alignment AlignmentInVerticalMargin property added with Left/Right/Center options, to ViewXY’s LegendBox. The property controls horizontal positioning of legend boxes set to same vertical margin.
Controlling visibility of Intensity and Surface series palette scale in legend boxes. The palette scale can be hidden by setting LegendBox.IntensityScales.Visible to ‘False’ (in ViewXY) and LegendBox.SurfaceScales.Visible to ‘False’ (in View3D).
