Chart FX 8

Why Chart FX?
Besides a powerful charting engine supporting the most complete collection of chart types, you may also want to consider Chart FX for its following attributes:

Multiplatform
Chart FX is the only charting and data visualisation product capable of delivering native components for the most popular development platforms, including .NET, Java, COM (ASP & ActiveX), HTML5, iOS, SharePoint and Windows PowerShell. Chart FX shares the same charting engine and API across all these platforms allowing developers to easily migrate their applications without the need to retrain or sacrifice the look and feel of the final product. This multiplatform capability is important considering the diverse and heterogeneous nature of IT infrastructures in the modern enterprise.

Extensibility
While some charting solutions are monolithical, slow and unreliable, Chart FX features a powerful extensibility mechanism. These Chart FX Extensions can be stitched together, allowing developers to quickly adapt to data sources enabling organisations to quickly and economically have access to specialised solutions that meet unique business needs. Chart FX Extensions are entire products targeting specific functionality while meeting the needs of specific markets. For example, adding interactive maps or vectorised images to your applications is as easy as integrating Chart FX Maps.

End User Experience
Although Chart FX is a development product, it provides many runtime and end user features as well. The Chart FX end user interface significantly increases end users ability to analyse data. For example, end users can access most Chart FX functionality by clicking chart elements or using toolbars and menus on demand. Also, through royalty free runtime components your users can export or reuse charts in most popular productivity applications, such as Microsoft Office.

Scalability & Performance
Integrating a charting solution to your application or web server could pose crucial server performance, scalability and security issues. Actually, many developers don’t become conscious this until they do real-life stress testing and unveil serious performance and scalability issues that may jeopardise a successful or timely deployment of the final application. You will learn, Chart FX has been designed to work in intricate server architectures and you can expect a substantial increase in your Web server's throughput, commonly measured in requests per second and avoid security issues associated with generating and storing server side charts.

Elegant and professional presentation layer
Many vendors have focused on using the OS drawing capabilities to "beautify" or "animate" the charts, in most cases these drawing abuses not only have serious implications in server performance and scalability but also result in chart caricatures or mockeries that make your application look amateurish and provide little or no additional analysis capabilities to end users. Instead, Chart FX offers developers the ability to quickly and easily integrate impressive charts into their applications while retaining blazing speed and performance, making Chart FX the perfect data visualisation solution for your application.

Seamless integration and Object-oriented API
Chart FX seamlessly integrates to the most popular development tools like Microsoft’s Visual Studio, Visual Basic and Embarcadero Delphi, among others. Additionally, The Chart FX API is consistent throughout the different Chart FX versions, making it easier and more accessible to create and maintain applications.

Code-generation assistants
Chart FX features Wizards and Designers that help you achieve the most stunning charts and at the same time quickly access the code-behind and learn most of the interesting features Chart FX has to offer.
