ChartDirector Chart Component for .NET: ChartDirector is a powerful chart and graph component library for creating professional looking charts and graphs. Key features include:
Fast and Efficient: Multi-threaded architecture specially designed for the demanding requirements of server side usage.
Flexible: Object oriented API allows you to control and customize chart details, enabling you to design the charts you want.
Comprehensive Chart Styles: Pie, bar, line, spline, step line, trend line, curve-fitting, inter-line coloring, area, scatter, bubble, box-whisker, HLOC, candlestick, simple gantt, radar, polar. Supports XY axis swapping (rotated charts) and 3D effects.
Layer Architecture: Enables new chart styles to be composed easily using chart layers as building blocks.
CDML: The innovative ChartDirector Mark Up Language (CDML) technology allows rich formatting of text with embedding icons and images. CDML is supported in all ChartDirector text positions, including chart titles, legend keys, axis labels, data labels, etc.
Advanced Color System: ChartDirector's extended ARGB color system supports dynamic colors - colors that change based on position. Useful for creating color zones, color gradients, metallic colors, or pattern colors.
Bandwidth Efficient: Optimized color reduction algorithm for creating palette based charts that look as good as true color charts, but with much smaller file size. Ideal for Internet applications.
Interactive: ChartDirector can generate image maps for various chart objects, so charts become interactive. Ideal for "drill-down" capabilities, "tool tip" help messages, "onMouseOver" event handlers, or adding hypertext links or buttons to charts.
Easy to use: Producing charts requires just a few lines of code. Comprehensive documenation and numerous sample programs.
Browser Friendly: Produces charts as images viewable by virtually all browsers, electronic organizers, email and word documents. No Java or ActiveX control required. |
