Visualize Your Data

with Chart ModelKit for .NET.

Following the most recent trends in data visualization technology, Perpetuum Software LLC announces the release of Chart ModelKit for MS .NET Framework, a software component specially elaborated for constructing high fidelity charts and diagrams.

Usually, developers face some problems when creating charts: individual settings of the chart elements, addition of non-standard elements, complexity of the product which doesn't allow a flexible customization of chart appearance and functionality. Chart ModelKit is a component for designing charts and graphs, helping you solve all these problems. This product will make work of the developer more effective and reduce time for application development.

A built-in WYSIWYG designer provides the ability to customize charts without writing a single line of code. A mouse click on any chart element provides access to all its properties which can be interactively changed. The designer is available both at design time and run time.

Advanced data binding model provides a set of unique capabilities for creating charts without the need to code. Due to the unique object architecture the product grants the opportunity to design the great many of chart configurations which are hard or impossible to create using other approaches. Chart ModelKit supports export to SVG, Flash, BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG and TIFF formats.

The product delivers a wide range of 2D charts which can be used in .Net Windows Forms applications. The library contains a set of standard elements: axes, labels, legends, titles etc and a set of available series types: Pie, Bar, Stacked Bar, Stacked100Bar, Spline, Line, Bubble, Area, Stacked Area, Stacked100Area, Stock, Candle Stick.

In addition, Chart ModelKit supports a number of features inherent to all Perpetuum Software products. The component is written in C#, contains only managed code and supports all .NET data sources. Full source code in C# is available. Chart ModelKit run time is royalty free.

Most developers continue to actively use third-party chart components as a part of their applications, though complexity and different integration mechanisms can challenge product implementation and developer productivity. Chart ModelKit is included into the .NET ModelKit Suite - an integrated developer framework with similar design time and run time customization facilities. This provides easy integration with other Perpetuum Software products -- Report Sharp-Shooter, Instrumentation ModelKit and OLAP ModelKit.
