This example demonstrates the ASP.NET AJAX Chart control; configured as a Line chart (it uses LineSeries), which can be used for displaying categorical data. You can easily modify the appearance of a RadHtmlChart and the data it displays using the attached configurator. It allows you to set a number of properties and then see the change in the chart above.

Spline (Smooth) and Step Line appearance of the series can be configured via the LineStyle property in the LineAppearance tag since Q1 2014 by choosing one of the options from the ExtendedLineStyle enumeration:

  • Normal — the default series appearance.
  • Step — the individual series items are connected with vertical and horizontal lines to form a step-like progression.
  • Smooth — the series items are connected with a fitted curve which represents a rough approximation of the missing data points.
