I am currently using Microsoft’s chart control – the MSDN documentation for it is here
I am examining the SeriesChartType documentation, which is mostly unneeded, except for one question:
- What is the difference between the
LineandFastLinetypes? - When should I favor one type over the other?
Thank you in advance for any help.
It looks like the
FastLineis optimized for HUGE datasets where you’re trending a LOT of data. You lose some functionality like showing markers, which you won’t want with a large dataset anyway.If you have a few dozen points, use
Line, if you have a few hundred points, useFastLine.FastLine documentation:
