Chart FX Features
DHTML/AJAX Rendering Engine
Chart FX 7 adds a new DHTML rendering engine that
uses the AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) web development technique to produce
chart images that allow full interactivity and support state in web applications.
This automatically updates the chart with the new data without a complete page refresh,
only updating the portion of the chart that changed. The charts are fully secure
as there are no binary files to download. This allows end users to interact with
charts in any browser on any platform, making your application available to a wider
audience.
Chart FX 7 takes advantage of AJAX technology and combines it with a powerful DHTML
engine to produce chart images that allow full interactivity and support state in
web applications.
The Chart FX 7 DHTML engine allows developers to:
- Prevent downloading, configuration and use of ActiveX or .NET components making
the application platform agnostic and maintenance free.
- Deploy charts that are fully secured as no binary files are needed in the browser.
- Access a fully interactive toolbar with drop-down menus that support most Chart
FX end user functionality, including zooming and scrolling providing a much smoother
client experience, while still maintaining the full flexibility of deploying to
any browser client in the enterprise.
While the user is interacting with the chart, the Chart FX 7 DHTML rendering engine
will automatically update the chart with new data. While this takes place, end users
won't lose any of their chart settings, get a complete page refresh or need to download
all of the page content again. Only the chart will change if there is new data to
display.
