New Graph Styles in 11.5

G'Day from Down Under. I've been in Australia since April 27th and while it is great to be "home" (I lived in Sydney from 1995-2000) I've been too busy to keep my blog up to date. I've got a few spare minutes today so I want to share with you another new feature being added to PowerBuilder 11.5.

There will be some new 3D graph styles based on DirectX technology. These new graphs will be available for Win32 and .NET Windows Forms applications.



Here's a screen shot of the new 3D Pie Chart. It isn't feature complete yet but it should give you an idea of what to expect.





You'll notice that there are some new properties in the DataWindow painter and some new functions are being added to allow you to get and set data and series labeling on various 3D graphs.

It would be a great contribution to make more attractive presentations of graphics for users, it would be both impressive and attractive to them.

I have used PowerBuilder for past one year but I was using an older version.Now the feature that you mentioned above is there in this so this motivates me to upgrade to this version.Thanks
