The QCChart2D for .Net charting
toolkit, written using C#, is for developers who want to add sophisticated
interactive charting graphics to their .Net applications. The toolkit includes
support for linear, logarithmic, polar and antenna coordinate systems used by engineering
and scientific end users. It also includes support for advanced time/date and
elapsed time
coordinate systems required by business end users. 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.
Revision 2.0
adds six plot types, elapsed time scaling, vertical time scaling, dataset
viewers, and new user interface routines for zooming and panning.
Anyone who purchased an earlier revision of QCChart2D for
.Net in the previous two years can upgrade for free using the
the download link(s) they were sent in an e-mail at the time of the original
order. Versions older than that can be upgraded

New Features added to Revision 2.0
 | Five new general plot types -
for Cartesian, time and elapsed time coordinate systems:
BoxWhiskerPlot, FloatingStackedBarPlot, RingChart, SimpleVersaPlot,
and GroupVersaPlot |
| Antenna Charts - Antenna
charts are commonly used by engineers to plot the performance
characteristics of antenna designs. Antenna charts are a circular
chart type similar to a polar chart, the differences being angular
displacements are measured clockwise, and radial values can range
from negative to positive. |
| Elapsed time scaling -
time based scaling based on the .Net TimeSpan class, which measures
elapsed time without an implicit date. |
| Vertical axis scaling for
time/date and elapsed time coordinate systems - All of our users
in the well-logging industry will appreciate this new feature. |
| DatasetViewer class - for
the grid-like display of dataset information in a chart table. |
| MagniView class -Pass a
magnify cursor over a chart and see a constantly updated, and
magnified, view of the data in a second window. |
| CoordinateMove class - use
the mouse to grab the chart and drag, or pan it: left, right,
up, down. |
| Integrated zoom stack
processing - Undo zoom events with a mouse click. |
Feature Summary
| Visual Studio .Net 2005 and 2008 - Starting with Revision
2.0, we have eliminated support for Visual Studio .Net 2002 and
Visual Studio .Net 2003. This way we no longer have to configure the
libraries for the lowest common denominator of .Net, and can use new
.Net features not found in original version. The software is compatible with
Visual Studio .Net 2005, Visual Studio .Net 2008, and higher.
All example program projects are in Visual Studio 2005 format, and
automatically convert to Visual 2008 format when loaded using that
compiler. If using VS 2002 or VS 2003 is an absolute requirement,
you should use the 1.7 version of this software. |
| SharpDevelop - The software is
also compatible with SharpDevelop 3.X and higher.
SharpDevelop
is a free IDE for C# and VB developers writing for
the .Net platform. |
| Plot 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,
stacked line plots, box-whisker plots, floating stacked bar plots, ring
plots, antenna plots, versa plots.. An unlimited number of plot types can be combined in the same chart.
|
| Datasets - 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 .Net
DateTime based data.
Mark data points invalid, forcing a break in plotted lines. |

Simple dataset viewer |
Group
dataset viewer |
| Dataset Viewer - A new dataset viewer class will display
simple and group datasets in a grid-like table. The grid can be
positioned anywhere on the chart. Individual grid
cells can be edited and the associated chart immediately updated using
the synchronize feature. |
| Coordinate 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. |
| Time/Date Coordinate Systems - The time/date scale is specified
using .Net DateTime 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. Starting with Rev. 2.0, the Time/Date scale can be either
horizontal or vertical. |
| Elapsed Time Coordinate System - The original Time/Date
scale proved less than optimal for the display of TimeSpan data, i.e.,
time values not associated with a specific calendar date. Starting
with Rev. 2.0, the software supports elapsed time
plotting, based on the .Net TimeSpan class. The elapsed
time scale can be either horizontal or vertical.
This includes new dataset types (ElapsedTimeSimpleDataset,
ElapsedTimeGroupDataset), a new coordinate system class
(ElapsedTimeCoordinates), a new axis class (ElapsedTimeAxis) and a new
axis labels class (ElapsedTimeAxisLabels). |
Examples of linear, logarithmic, polar and time/date
axes - click to enlarge
| Axis Types - Linear, logarithmic, time/date, elapsed time,
antenna, and polar axis types.
All axis types have manual and auto-scaling modes for setting axis ranges.
Axis auto-scaling modes handle multiple datasets, group data and contour data.
A chart can have an unlimited number of axes. |
| Axis Labels - Axes can have decimal, exponential, time, date,
elapsed time, string and multi-line labels.
Programmers can define custom numeric and time/date axis labels. |
| Chart Titles - Charts can have a main title, a subhead and a footer.
Axes can have horizontal and vertical titles. |
| Grid Options - Grid lines of any line style and color can highlight major and minor axis tick marks.
|
| Export Chart Images - All file formats support under the
.Net ImageFormat class, including JPEG, WMF, EMF, BMP, GIF,
TIFF, and PNG. |
| Import .Net Image object - Use .Net Image objects as plot elements in a chart, or as a background object.
|
| Legends for All Plot Types - Position horizontal and vertical legends anywhere in a chart.
A chart can have an unlimited number of legends. |
| Mouse Support - A group of classes implementing
mouse event delegates
can locate, select and move chart objects like data plots, axes, titles, and legends.

MagniView cursor magnifies what is under it |
The
MagniView class works with charts that overlay multiple coordinate
systems |
| MagniView - Similar to zooming, the
mouse controls a “magnifying” rectangle as it passes over an existing
chart. The area of the chart within the bounds of the magnifying
rectangle is “magnified” and continuously redrawn in a separate
window. The MagniView class works with charts that use a simple xy
axis pair, and charts that combine one or more coordinate
systems. |
| Panning - Use the new MoveCoordinates class to pan data in
the x- and y-dimension. Click and drag in the plot area and rescale
the graph proportionally. |

Custom Programming Services
| QCChart2D is an extremely powerful and flexible software
package. It contains over 1000 methods and properties in more than
120 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. |
| The 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. |
| That is why we have written so many outstanding example
programs, pulled from a wide variety of industries using many
different styles of user interface. |
| We 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. |
| Using QCChart2D for .Net, our range of expertise
includes Managed C++ (MC++), VB, and C# programming languages.
