Charting ActiveX

Charting ActiveX Control

The Quinn-Curtis ActiveX Controls encapsulate the most popular features of our Charting Tools library into an easy-to-use ActiveX Control. Hundreds of properties and graph attributes can be edited through detailed property pages or set and retrieved programmatically using various visual programming languages, allowing you to rapidly create and import charts into your spreadsheet, word processor, database, or other visual container that supports ActiveX Controls. This control makes the power and flexibility of the Quinn-Curtis Charting Tools available to programmers who want to write programs using ActiveX controls instead of libraries.

	Line, scatter, bar, floating bar, pie, stacked, grouped, high-low-close, area fill, error bars.
	Multiple X and Y axes, multiple scalings.
	Linear and log scaling.
	Integrated zooming and drill down.
	Unlimited number of data points / trace.
	Mix different plot types, dataset sizes, within the same graph.
	Refresh data without redrawing entire graph.
	Built-in grid data editor.
	Legends.
	FFTs, spline smoothing.
	Integrated printing support.
	Import, export data from clipboard, program and data files.

This is a Windows legacy product and has not been updated since 2000. It is sold as-is. There is no longer technical support for it.

Data Arrays
All data to controls are passed using 32-bit pointers. The theoretical upper limit for a single data array is 4 billion bytes, or 500 million 8-byte doubles. Data can be imported or exported from clipboard, program, or data file.

A single set of data can have an unlimited number of data points. Each set of data displayed in a graph can have a unique number of data points.

Data Display Objects
The data display objects include line, scatter, bar, floating bar, pie, stacked, group, high-low-close, area fill, and error bars. Any combination of data display objects can be added to a chart.

Multiple Axes and Axes Scales
Each chart offers two pairs of x and y axes allowing two separate scaling transformations. Two completely different scaling ranges for each x,y pair can be displayed together. Linear and logarithmic axes are supported. Axes are drawn in either automatic or manual axis scaling modes, and can be labeled using engineering or scientific formats, or with user defined string labels.

Built-in Data Grid Editor
The data property page includes a data grid editor. Modify data values via data table editor or create new arrays by entering values into the appropriate cells. Arrays can be resized arrays to any dimension. Charts are automatically updated to reflect the modified data set values.

Serialization
Serialization has been designed into every object in the control. Any chart can be serialized regardless of its complexity. A single call to the control will save or restore all of the defining attributes and data for all of the charts and legends.

Integrated Printer Support
Output to any Windows supported printer at the resolution of the device.

Numerical Processing
Our FFT algorithms are available as methods in the control.

Other Features
- On-line Help.
- Integrated zooming.
- Save graph image as a DIB or copy to clipboard.
- Refresh data without redrawing entire graph.
- Bad Data Point Handling.
- Legends.

Each control includes a comprehensive manual documenting all available member functions. On-line help and example programs are also included. Demo programs for the controls can be downloaded from our web site.
