.NET Chart Shapes and Markers

Data Markers

Nevron Chart supports a myriad of predefined shapes in 2D and 3D. This is critical as it allows you to enhance the visualization of data points, markers, and other visual items.

This section shows different shapes applied to bar and data point markers. Having a large selection of shapes is essential for improving the clarity and impact of your data presentations.

The different marker shapes offer a wide range of options for highlighting trends, distinguishing different data types, and drawing attention to specific data points.

Best Practices for using Shapes

Use of 3D Shapes with Smooth Edges
Rendering smoothed edge bars and pies is computationally expensive, so such shapes should be used only in presentation charts, where performance is not critical.

Use of Marker Shapes
Use markers to highlight individual data points. Ensure that marker styles are distinctly looking so users can easily distinguish them.

Provide Context
Provide context for shapes and markers by properly describing the marker's meaning, preferably in a legend next to the chart.
