Heatmap Chart
Bubbling new is the Heatmap Chart, a two dimensional table that displays data on a gradient scale.
Pareto Chart
Vilfredo Pareto, a turn-of-the-century Italian economist, studied the distributions of wealth in different countries, concluding that a fairly consistent minority – about 20% – of people controlled the large majority – about 80% – of a society’s wealth. This same distribution has been observed in other areas and has been termed the Pareto effect. Chart FX for WPF 8.1 allows you to set up a Pareto Chart with ease, much like any other gallery.
Progression Transform
Bubble charts are a valuable tool to perform a three variable comparison, allowing for easy visualization of complex interdependencies that are not apparent in two variable charts.

Bubble charts displaying GDP, population growth and inflation rate for different countries can now be compared over different years on the same chart, for example.
