This week we’re very pleased to announce a new update of NChart3D that brings lots of new features. We have heard your feedback and this new version was inspired by your requests. According to them, we have added tiny ticks, minor and tiny grids. In this new release the axis line, grid line, crosshair lines and line series can be dashed. The logarithmic mode for axes and transparent background were another popular requests and these are also included in this update. And now, let's discuss these features in more detail.

In the previous versions of NChart3D there were major ticks and minor ticks. We have added the tiny ticks which divide the space between major and minor ticks. The number of the tiny ticks can be set by the user. And also in the previous versions grid lines could only be drawn at the major ticks. Now the grid lines can be displayed at any tick marks - major, minor and tiny.

The next feature we added is logarithmic mode for axes. In some cases, the logarithmic scale is more accurate than the linear one. It better reflects the data that may be difficult to read on linear axes. Take as an illustration the following chart that captures the tourism dynamic in the New Zealand. The logarithmic scale shows, e.g., how the number of tourists dropped during the World War II.

In NChart3D 2.6 the background could be set as transparent. Finally, in the new version we have also implemented the option to display axis lines, grid lines, crosshair lines and line series as dashed lines.

- Tiny ticks
