[1.2.0] - 2026-07-28

Rebuilt the Chart Designer, galleries, welcome experience, and all chart authoring inspectors with polished responsive UI Toolkit layouts.
Added consistent sections, validation, live previews, compact asset creation, and safer editable data lists across chart assets, data sources, themes, components, and graphics.
Tightened Chart Designer data editing with aligned table columns, compact labels, clearer gradient controls, compact panel toggles, and unclipped code actions across narrow and wide layouts.
Reorganized inspector settings around focused concepts with clearer tooltips, progressive disclosure, aligned controls, and accessible inline data settings.
Moved mock data generation actions to the top of the workflow and added compact theme creation beside theme fields.
Reduced scripting clutter by keeping chart layout, rendering, authoring translation, text management, and preview implementation internal.
Chart mark opacity now applies consistently to bars, points, sectors, and other mark types.

Added optional LED Studio integration so Chart Guru charts can drive LED Studio boards through a nested integration package
Added multiple UITK sample scenes
Added chart texture output for integrations, including an option to capture titles, axis labels, legends, and data labels together with the chart image
Improved data label placement for horizontal bars, pie charts, donut charts, and UI Toolkit charts
Added pie and donut leader-line labels for clearer small-slice labeling
Improved UI Toolkit chart rendering with better axis label rotation, chart title anchoring, copied chart styling, and data label alignment
Fixed origin axis and grid line layering so zero baselines stay aligned during chart updates and morphs
Improved legend sizing and truncation for side legends and compact layouts
Improved render pipeline compatibility for Chart Guru shaders in URP and built-in render pipeline projects
Improved edit-mode animation, streaming, and preview timing through shared timing controls
Improved TextMeshPro word-wrapping compatibility across Unity versions
