The QCChart2D for Java charting toolkit, written entirely using Java, is for developers who want to add sophisticated interactive charting graphics to their Java applications and applets. The toolkit includes support for linear, logarithmic and polar coordinate systems used by engineering and scientific end users. It also includes support for advanced time/date coordinate systems required by business end users, where weekends can be removed from the time scale, and where a day can have a user-defined hourly range, for example: the 9:30AM to 4:00PM range used in financial markets. Advanced user interface functions allow users to interact with applications using the mouse: adding annotations, selecting, marking and moving data points, drilldown, tooltips and zooming into a particular chart region.

Key Benefits

bulletUsing Java applets you can add interactive graphics to your web-based application. Web-enabled features like data tooltips, zooming, object selection and moving will give you the advantage over the competition..
bulletCreate platform independent applications programs that will work on Windows, Macs and Linux.

 

Feature Summary

bulletJava IDE Independent - Tested and compatible with Eclipse, JBuilder and NetBeans.
bulletNew Features in Revision 1.7 - Two-color gradients can be applied to bars and other area objects. Also,  the QCLicense license file has been eliminated, along with  the need to purchase redistributable licenses.
bulletPlot Types - Line plots, area plots, bar plots, line marker plots, floating bars, scatter plots, group plots, open-high-low-close plots, error bar plots, pie charts, contour plots, candlestick plots, line gap plots, cell plots, histogram plots, arrow plots, bubble plots, polar plots, multi-line plots and stacked line plots. An unlimited number of plot types can be combined in the same chart.
bulletDatasets - Datasets hold the data plotted in the chart. Charts can plot an unlimited number of datasets, each dataset can contain an unlimited number of data points. Datasets can hold numeric and Java GregorianCalendar date/time  based data with millisecond resolution. Mark data points invalid, forcing a break in plotted lines.
bulletCoordinate Systems - Linear, logarithmic, time/date and polar coordinate systems. An unlimited number of coordinate system, and axes, can be overlaid in the same plotting area of a graph.
bulletTime/Date Coordinate Systems - The time/date scale is specified using Java GregorianCalendar objects. The time/date scales take into account the varying number of days in months and years. The scales can also take into account non-continuous time/date scales where a 5-day week is used, or where a full day consists of a specific time interval that can be something less than a 24-hour day. For example, it is possible to define a time/date scale where weekends are excluded and the day consists of the hours between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM.

bulletAxis Labels - Axes can have decimal, exponential, time, date, string and multi-line labels. Programmers can define custom numeric and time/date axis labels.
bulletChart Titles - Charts can have a main title, a subhead and a footer. Axes can have horizontal and vertical titles.
bulletGrid Options - Grid lines of any line style and color can highlight major and minor axis tick marks.
bulletExport Chart Images - using the JPEG format.
bulletImport jpeg Image objects - Use jpeg image objects as plot elements in a chart, or as a background object.
bulletLegends for All Plot Types - Position horizontal and vertical legends anywhere in a chart. A chart can have an unlimited number of legends.
bulletMouse Support - A group of classes implementing mouse event delegates can locate, select and move chart objects like data plots, axes, titles, and legends.

bullet Data ToolTips - Select a data point with the mouse and popup a tooltip window that displays the data x- and/or y-values for the data points. Programmers can create custom information displays for tooltip windows.
bulletData Compression - Large datasets can be compressed, increasing display speed without loss of detail.
bulletBased on the Java Graphics2D API - Compatible with Java components and applications.
bulletHigh Resolution Printing - Since the underlying 3D graphics kernel uses Java Graphics2D primitives (lines, polygons and text), printer output is recreated on the printer, through Java and the operating systems printing engine, at the printer resolution and does not pass through an intermediate bitmap that can drastically lower printer output resolution.
bullet100% Java Code - The software is entirely written in Java, resulting in better performance and scalability. Managed Java code makes applications easier to deploy and maintain.
bulletDocumentation and Demo/Example Programs - The software includes a comprehensive 400 page user manual with many programming examples, Javadoc help for every class and 75 complete demo programs.

Custom Programming Services

bulletQCChart2D for Java is an extremely powerful and flexible software package. It contains over 1000 methods and properties in more than 100 classes. The user manual and  help file documentation are more than 1000 pages. This can be overwhelming to the average programmer who wants to start programming today and have the prototype of an application working in a week.
bulletThe variety of user interfaces for charting applications is as diverse as the industries using the software. The end-user of an application at a mutual fund expects to interact with the chart in a manner different than that of an end-user in health care. The same can be said for other industries: semiconductors, quality control, teaching, biotechnology, etc.
bulletThat is why we have written so many outstanding example programs, pulled from a wide variety of industries using many different styles of user interface.
bulletWe know that your application may be similar to, but still uniquely different from any of our example programs. To that end we offer our programming services to write for you a custom example program that demonstrates how to code the chart format and user interface you want. That jump start to your project can save you many weeks of work and make you look like a chart programming genius. All  you have to be able to do is describe in detail what you want the example to do.
bulletUsing QCChart2D for Java, expertise includes writing applications that can be run on workstations, and applets that can run in web browsers.  For more information or a quote, please contact our sales department at sales@quinn-curtis.com
