Major Features & Benefits

Charting Firsts

".netCHARTING: often copied; never duplicated."

For years, .netCHARTING has pioneered new charting technologies, bringing clients unprecedented ease of use and automation without sacrificing the stunning visuals we have become renowned for. While competitors scramble to emulate our innovations, our clients continue to benefit; saving thousands of dollars in development costs through the rich set of Enterprise level features included with each and every .netCHARTING license sold.

Scale Breaks Often a chart has a few outlier data points which result in charts that are not legible for the bulk of the data. For example, if you had a chart of 100 values between 1 and 10 but 2 of the values were over 1,000 you could not accurately determine the values due to a compressed scale.	Calendar Pattern Support Define custom calendar patterns to implement axis markers. Calendar patterns will enable you to highlight a specific event or region of your data which reoccurs including marking weekends or other recurring events. They can also be used to trim data and to specify scale breaks.
Multiple chart areas sharing axes. Create multiple independent chart areas within a single chart image. Advanced automatic alignment functionality enables a single axis to span multiple chart areas and automatically align with each other.	Chart Mentor The chart mentor offers useful tips and samples based on the chart you are creating. It can help you resolve problems and improve the implementation of your chart in the most efficient way.
Label Tokens and Expressions Use tokens and mathematical expressions within labels to simplify the creation of dynamically generated labels.	Axis Zooming This innovative new feature can also be combined with interactive image map features of .netCHARTING for drill down zoom functionality.
