Optimized For Large Datasets
Another recent feature, FastLine™ charts are line charts, optimized to handle datasets with a large number of data points. Using this chart type can significantly reduce rendering time and can easily handle several series with 100,000+ points. And if you have such a large number of data points, the new FastPoint™ chart type can help. Complementing the FastLine™ chart type, the FastPoint™ charts are optimized to display large data sets quickly and efficiently.
