Free Trial Download: NetCharts Designer NetCharts Designer is a design tool that simplifies the creation of charts and graphs. This Eclipse-based IDE allows developers to quickly design a chart, connect that chart to a data source and produce JSP or .NET code that can stand alone or be injected into existing Web pages.

Over the past several years we've watched the Web evolve into a more visual medium than when it was first introduced. The focus shifted from text to images and video. A similar shift was seen in software, where rich applications that deliver information using visualizations and graphics are becoming the standard way that users consume information.

Data visualizations are popular in business intelligence (BI) applications, performance management applications like dashboards and countless industry and company-specific applications that businesses use on a daily basis.

As these applications evolve, the users continue to look for more dynamic, interactive charts and graphs, challenging software developers to deliver the types of visualizations that help them gain insight into the business.

Free Download of Visual Mining's Developer Tools Download a copy of NetCharts Pro, the Java Programmer's ultimate charting library, or NetCharts Designer, Visual Mining's full IDE for the rapid development of graphical web applications.

NetCharts Pro 7.0 and NetCharts Designer 7.0 are the latest tools from Visual Mining, Inc., designed to help Java developers create graphical applications for software, Web applications or Internet-enabled devices. NetCharts Pro is a Java programmer's library that allows developers to create charts with an incredible amount of client-side interactivity, including the ability to build chart zoom, animations, interactive legends and image-based roll-over effects. NetCharts Designer is a design tool that simplifies the creation of charts and graphs. It is an Eclipse-based IDE that allows developers to quickly design a chart, connect that chart to a data source and produce JSP or .NET code that can stand alone or be injected into existing Web pages.

Developers who use NetCharts to create visualizations in their applications get fine-grain control and a level of customization that just isn't available in other charting and graphing solutions. For the developers that want it, for example, there are multiple options on how to display just a tick on an axis in a chart created with NetCharts. NetCharts can be used to emulate virtually any graphic style or chart type. (Visual Mining has a Visualization Gallery available at http://www.visualmining.com/resource_library/visualization_gallery.php to show just what's possible with NetCharts.)

Developers who aren't interested in a high degree of customization and don't want to get bogged down in the details can still use NetCharts Pro to quickly and easily create less-stylized charts and graphs at an affordable price.

Standards for Today and Tomorrow
NetCharts Pro and Designer also provide support for developers beginning to transition their Web-based applications to HTML5. One of the big issues that faces HTML5 development is the fact that not every Web browser supports HTML5 code, and with old versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox still drawing considerable market share, this is likely to be the case for some time.

NetCharts supports .jpg, .png and Adobe Flash file formats that will satisfy today's most popular browsers. It also supports HTML5 SVG output for newer browsers. NetCharts even allows developers to build applications that support HTML5 and SVG and automatically backport the charts or graphs to Flash if the end user's browser does not support SVG.

With 13 years in the business, Visual Mining now offers a family of products that includes tools for any developer's needs. In addition to graphics libraries for Java programmers, the company also offers to complete dashboard solutions that allow developers to design, build and deploy Web-based graphical dashboards in just hours.
