I am just finishing up a bar chart using UltraCategoryChart. While researching I discovered that there are other chart controls.
The post below for example indicates UltraChart and UltraDataChart, which means there are at least 3 chart controls. Which one is best? Which one is newest?

For example, I saw that one of the other chart types has a gradient feature on the bar colors, whereas UltraCategoryChart doesn't seem to have that.
Any clarification would be helpful.
Hello Ted,
Our main chart controls are UltraChart and UltraDataChart.
The newer one is UltraDataChart, as this control is implemented across several platforms. Both controls are very good and efficient, and can be used to achieve the same end goal.
Controls like UltraCategoryChart, UltraPieChart and others, are lightweight controls which take considerably less time to set up and have very simple API, but are limited to one type of chart only.
Regarding UltraCategoryChart bar colors, you can modify the brush collection of the chart brushes as per the steps from our documentation here:

Thanks for the clarification. I will start using the UltraDataChart going forward.
