Version 2.7.0 updates
New Features
- Range breaks - use RangeBreak in axis when you want to show values that differ in orders of magnitude like units and thousands - RangeBreak will detect and skip the Y axis portion where no data values are present so that your unit values are still readable.
Axis range break.
- Axis labels can be grouped - useful when adding categories to your data values.
Axis label groups
- Rotated pie labels. When outside labels for pie are not possible, even though I recommend them as they are the most informative, you can use inside labels option. Rotated labels provide the best fit inside pie segments. Use pie charts with caution - they are not the best way to visualize more than 10 values.
Rotated Pie labels
- SPC line plot chart. This is a Statistical Process Control specific chart, which is a part of our MonarchCharts SPC extension for manufacturing quality control.

As usual - samples and documentation were updated to reflect recent changes.
