JavaScript Chart Libraries AnyChart, AnyGantt, AnyStock and AnyMap Receive Major 8.2.0 Update

The time has come for another major update of our JavaScript chart libraries, recognized the best in JavaScript technologies earlier this year!

Meet version 8.2.0 of AnyChart, AnyStock, AnyGantt and AnyMap!

To start with, here’s a quick list of what major new cool features have been delivered to our interactive data visualization solutions with this new release:

• Sunburst Chart;
• negative logarithmic scale;
• crosshair multiple labels;
• minimum/maximum labels;
• new technical indicators and additional touch support in stock charts;
• custom drawing, data grid live editor, and new timeline in Gantt charts

Now, let’s take a closer look at each of the major news of AnyChart 8.2.0 and then see what’s next on our roadmap.

Major New Features in AnyChart 8.2.0

	Sunburst Chart In addition to a lot of chart types already available in the AnyChart JavaScript chart library out of the box, we’ve added the Sunburst Chart (also called Radial Treemap). It presents an excellent way of visualizing hierarchical data by means of concentric circles. See the Sunburst Chart examples in our gallery, and Sunburst Documentation.
	New Technical Indicators A new bunch of technical indicators is now available in the AnyStock JS library for financial data visualization: Parabolic SAR (PSAR), Money Flow Index (MFI), Momentum, and Williams %R. See the AnyStock roadmap to learn which ones are planned for release with the following major updates. Check out multiple examples of stock charts with technical indicators in our gallery.
	Custom Drawing in Gantt Charts We’ve made it possible to override drawing of any Gantt timeline element (baseline, milestone, etc.). There are no limits to how they can look, you can create any custom visualization based on your imagination.
	Data Grid Live Editor Grid cells of the Gantt Chart can now be edited in the Live Edit mode. If the input data is valid, all the changes can be saved or aborted if otherwise.
	Negative Logarithmic Scale In release 8.2.0, we’ve introduced the support of negative values on the logarithmic scale in basic charts (AnyChart) and stock charts (AnyStock). This can be helpful in creating a clearer and more comprehensive visualization when working with large data sets.
	Crosshair Multiple Labels Now you can display several crosshair labels on additional axes of the chart in basic charts, stock charts, and map charts, i.e. in the AnyChart, AnyStock and AnyMap JavaScript chart libraries respectively. Hence, it is possible to add an extra axis (e.g. one with percentage values), enable this feature and get more insights at a time while exploring such an interactive data visualization.
	Minimum/Maximum Labels Min/Max labels give you a unique opportunity to show the minimum and maximum values on basic (AnyChart) and stock charts (AnyStock). This feature allows users to see at a glance what is happening with the data. Take a look at our examples: Min and Max Labels in Range Column Chart and Min and Max Labels in Stock Chart, and Minimum/Maximum Labels Docs.
	New Timeline in Gantt Charts Release 8.2.0 has brought significant improvements to the timeline header in Gantt charts. From now on, the number of its levels and their format can be set manually, which further increases the timeline’s flexibility. In addition, automatic formatting of dates in response to zoomIn and zoomOut has become even better.
	Additional Touch Support in Stock Charts We are glad to announce that touch support in AnyStock has been further extended! Now you can use the touchscreen to easily pinch stock charts (or any other timeline-based data visualizations) and scroll them in any direction.
