SEATTLE, WA (PRWEB) July 8, 2004 -- Graphics Server Technologies, LP announced today that it has started shipping Graphics Server .NET 2.0. This new upgrade provides innovative new capabilities including the exclusive Design Time Click and Drag.
Graphics Server has long been an asset to developers all over the world. It's extensive capabilities and functioning are what make it a powerful and comprehensive toolkit, while its low cost and simple licensing make it affordable and easy to own.
"The release of Graphics Server .NET 2.0 continues over 10 years of innovative graphing tools for Windows developers," said David Johnson, President of Graphics Server Technologies, L.P. "Our original Graphics Server product shipped with Windows 3.1 and we are proud to continue the tradition of producing value-packed technology components for Windows developers," continued Mr. Johnson.
Graphics Server technology has won many awards from industry editors and readers over the years. In addition, the technology has been OEM'd by many leading technology companies, including Microsoft, Borland, Gupta, Cognos, ESRI, Liveware, and Wall Data.
Graphics Server .NET 2.0 adds many new features, including:
Design Time Click and Drag - in Win Forms you can now click and drag
various chart objects (e.g. legend, annotations, grid) while designing your form.
New graph types:
Radar Chart
Gantt Chart
Funnel Chart
Conditional Marker Painting - apply conditional market painting rules to a series of data. Create your own custom conditional marker painting classes.
Mouse Over Popup Chart Buttons - print chart, copy chart to clipboard and save chart to file.
Anchoring - anchor chart objects just like other .NET anchoring.
Annotation Coupling - annotations can now be coupled to a specific edge of the Grid, the Chart Title, or the Legend. When the object moves so do the annotations.
Grid Titles - a new design time interface to quickly create grid titles along the top, bottom, left and right sides of the grid.
Grid Margin Clipping - control clipping of series drawing objects in the grid area. This feature keeps the chart from drawing outside the axes boundaries.
Axis Background - optional background for 2D chart types that paints within the axis boundaries.
AutoBindData Chart Methods - helper methods that make it quick and easy to bind data to a chart.
AutoRound Axis Scaling - Axis objects now have a mode to auto round the tick values and display nice even numbers.
Enhanced Templates - New property serialization methods that can read and write sparsely populated XML chart properties.
Quick Layout Improvement - Developers can now apply quick layouts programmatically to a chart.
DataSetProvider Enhancements - Data can now be written back to a DataSetDataProvider.
Legend Icon Outlining - Legend icons now outline in black. This outline feature can be turned on and off.
Annotation Name Property - Name your annotations and quickly find those annotations in the annotation list via the name.
Axis Label Length Property - Allows axis labels to be chopped off at a specified length.
Graphics Server .NET 2.0 is priced at $899 per developer and requires no additional server licenses for applications deployed on the Web. Upgrades from previous versions of Graphics Server are priced at $499. The no server license approach is virtually unique in the niche, where most competitors require expensive licenses and the associated administrative headaches.
