Features

The basic idea behind xmCHART is to make an extensive set of functions available to users with which the general appearance of a chart can be controlled in detail.

Three functions are all you need to draw up a number of different charts: first the function OpenDrawing() defines the size of the chart, secondly the ChartData() function which contains all numerical values (or date/time values) used for representation and, thirdly, a function which determines the type of chart.

In fact, over 220 functions are available with which nearly all parts of the chart can be varied. Besides a comprehensive set of charting functions, xmCHART also offers numerous functions for creating geometric shapes or for adding texts, images, tables, barcodes, etc.
