Today we are introducing Webix 9.4. The latest updates and new features include multilevel Pie charts, 3D Donut chart, link labels for Diagram and even more. Let’s dive into the details!
Core updates
Pies and Series
We have added the long-awaited “sibling” to the 3D Pie chart – the 3D Donut chart. Not only pies, but also donuts, are now available in 3D!
From now on, pies and donuts can have several levels. This may come in handy when your data are grouped into more than one category or initially have tree structure.
In addition, these types of charts support series. You can display information about various objects on a single chart to compare their dynamics.
Contrast Labels
Because of the wide range of the background colors, sometimes it can be difficult to read the text labels. To solve this issue, we highlighted the pie labels in the contrasting colors. So now all the labels will stand out against any background.
Gages and Formats
Another core update is for Gage. From now on, you can format Gage values with the format property. It can be useful when you need to round a value or add additional characters, like “%” or “$”, to it.
Diagram updates
Diagram and Diagram Editor have also got a lot of improvements since their last release.
Now you can create curving links that are easy to follow and eye-catching at the same time. There are more options for precise data visualization thanks to the variety of Diagram link styles.
Links also have labels of their own. This will help you explain relations between blocks. You can change the position of the label relative to the link, adjust its size, and set font options for the label text.
SpreadSheet updates
Spreadsheet also supports pies and donuts! You can insert these charts into sheets and configure them.
Choosing a sheet to print has become easier. We have added the ability to print not only the current sheet, but any other from the dropdown list as well.
Among other parts of today’s release are the ability to modify data on non-active sheets and improved calculating capabilities.
Pivot updates
Starting from the 9.4 version, Pivot supports pies and donuts with all their new features. For example, look at this multilevel 3D Donut:
