What’s New in v8.6 of SciChart’s WPF Charts?
This release (v8.6.0 build 28199) is a cumulative update with fixes and minor enhancements which is backward compatible to version 8.0 of SciChart WPF. It’s recommended for all users on v8.x to upgrade.
To find out what is new since v8.5, read on below:
Features & Improvements
- Extended the API of TooltipModifier3D with properties to show labels on axes and show the tooltip. The new behavior can be turned on by setting the ShowAxisLabels property on TooltipModifier3D. The labels on axes can be styled via the AxisLabelStyle property. The tooltip can be shown or hidden by setting the ShowTooltipOverlay property on TooltipModifier3D
