We are using the VB version and this has become a real issue for our users. While we like the features and XML options a great amount, we need the legend to reflect the line type in the legend (dashes, round, square, triangle, line width, Etc) so that our users can print on plain white paper with black toner. Corporate users seem to use black toner and not color and that has become a problem. We are using the second sub-header to describe the legend (dashes=Sales, triangles=profits) but the legends should be visual because graphs are mostly visual. We really need a better fix and we need it soon.

Right now, the control can generate images (we use these in a word processing document). However, the chart must be visible AND sized to the correct dimensions to do this. The feature request is to allow for a Silent / Invisible mode that will allow the image to be saved without the preview step. This will require a parameter to specify the chart size to save.

We could do this in VB code, but the point here is that most of the pie charts that we need would be expressed in percentages and not the original input dollar amounts. This feature request is to create a functio that will allow the programmer to set the Pie Chart values to display as: Labels on or Off Dollar amounts on or Off Percentages on or Off a function parameter like this might be PieLabelsAs(On, On, On) where each of the parameters represents Labels, Dollars and Percentages. The percentages should be calculated by the control from the amounts.
