Last year the Visiblox development team ported Visiblox Charts to Windows 8, and we shared a beta release with you. Since then we’ve been busy tuning and polishing, and 3 weeks ago this port was released as part of Visiblox 4.0. Here we'll share our experiences with you and show you some examples of what you can achive with Visiblox on Windows 8.

The 4.0 release of Visiblox brings with it even more performance, in the form of DirectX based charts. Read on for a run through of what this means for you.

One of new features in v3.0 is the PointRendered event. It is raised whenever Visiblox has finished rendering a point and gives its handler access to the data point and FrameworkElement representing that point. This opens up a whole range of possibilities, as described in this post.

Visiblox 3.0 contains a number of new series types, two of which are HeatPlotSeries and RasterContourSeries. We'll explore how to use them in this blog post.

Those of you who've upgraded to 3.0 may have noticed a change in the way ContextMenus work. Since the new Behaviour API now subscribes to right button clicks on the mouse, those events are now considered handled and so a ContextMenu doesn't open. This post describes a new ContextMenuBehaviour that brings back ContextMenu functionality.
