used solid line pattern. Now all line patterns are supported.

NEW FEATURES

Other notes - Dropping Fully bindable assemblies

• Fully bindable WPF assemblies are removed from Installer and NuGet packages, as Semi-

bindable version provides mostly the same features as Fully bindable but offers

significantly better performance. The only feature that had to ‘go’ is Per-data-point

binding which is therefore not available in v.9. Semi-bindable offers properties and

collections binding and is magnitudes faster.

For the most power-hungry customers: Non-Bindable WPF API is still the fastest.

• MVVM style demo examples using Semi-bindable assemblies will be added to the new

Interactive Examples. It already contains several of them.

• Thus far, Fully-bindable WPF stays in the source code ONLY: Source code client can build

from there. 8.5 is the last version officially supported by Arction having per-data-point-

binding feature.

ZoomPanOptions.RectangleZoomMode = AboutYAxisZoomOrigin. Zoom rectangle is centered around YAxis.ValueOrigin. Horizontal size of zoom rectangle defined by mouse-down and mouse-up position.
