What is LightningChart JS?
LightningChart JS is a data visualization library for building high-end JavaScript charting applications in complex scenarios that demand high-performance data processing.
Introducing the Sunburst Chart
LightningChart JS introduces the sunburst chart, used for displaying hierarchical data as a series of aligned rings. LightningChart JS now makes it easier to explore part-to-whole relationships simultaneously across multiple levels.
Multithreading Performance Optimizations
Just when you thought that LightningChart JS could not get any faster, version 8.3 introduces Multi-threading Performance Optimizations as a built-in functionality to make your charts even snappier.
By using multi-threading, we were able to load an absolutely massive data visualization with 40 channels and 10 million data points each in just above 1 second. And you can zoom in/out/reload data without any lag.
JS Drill-Down Nord Pool Map Dashboard
Introducing the JavaScript Drill-Down Nord Pool Map Dashboard, which visualizes day-ahead market data from the Nord Pool energy exchange. It provides a geographic overview of the next day’s planned power generation across the Nordic-Baltic region.
Sunburst Chart Dashboard
Introducing the Sunburst chart dashboard, which combines a regional map with embedded sparkline-style charts, a sortable summary table with status indicators, a dual-axis chart pairing stacked columns with an overlaid line series on a shared time axis, and a row of toggle chips for filtering.
