We are proud to present the version 1.4 of the SoftwareGFX Library.
Our changes for this version targeted code refactoring, basically recreating the code and the classes and renaming mainly everything, making it more flexible to adding new graphs and in the same time easier to understand and use by the final user.
Also we have added tooltips to all the graphs, so in case you draw a bar chart or column chart and you position your mouse over one of the bars you’ll get instant details regarding that bar value and series name.
For more information regarding the graphs, please check the Gallery and Download sections of the website.
Also we have syncronised the demo version of our library and the sample applicaton with the latest version.
We will soon release another version with 2 more graphs.

Let me remind you that the graphic library was specially designed for WPF applications, but we can do a little trick to use it with Windows Forms applications or even in ASP webpages.
For using it in a Windows Forms project, for starters we need to do the same basic steps as in the previous post How to integrate the library.

Sure, the free charting library is royalty free and you can do whatever you want with it or distribute it in your applications, as long as you don’t request money solely on the library itself.

No.
As you have noticed, there are 2 functions in GlobalTools: setRegisteredEmail and setLicenseNO. These functions apply only to clients who bought the full version of the software.
If you have the demo version, you don’t need to do any changes or assigments.

Just use the GlobalTools class from our package and call the ExportToPng function. Supposing you have drawn the desired graph in the Canvas, all you need to do now in order to save it locally as a .png picture will be to use this line of code:
' save the image
SoftwareGFX_Library.GlobalTools.ExportToPng("chart_sample.png", Canvas1)

We are afraid not. We are doing our best possible efforts to implement compatible versions with Mac and Linux. Unfortunately a release date is unknown.

The integration and use of the SoftwareGFX chart library it’s a doddle.
All you need is Visual Studio 2008 (C# or VB.NET), no matter the edition. If you are interested in downloading the Express editions (that are free of charge) you can find them available here. If you are interested in the Professional editions you can download the trial versions from here.
Now that we are all set, all we need to do is open a normal VB.NET or C# project with .NET 3.5 framework selected and add a reference to the SoftwareGFX charts library.

We are proud to announce the official release of SoftwareGFX Library v1.0 at 26th October 2009.
SoftwareGFX Library is a powerful charting component for small and medium sized companies and individuals, used to create the most attractive and innovative 2D charts for desktop applications and web pages using .NET technology and making use of the new Window Presentation Foundation from .NET Framework 3.5.
Different chart types support multiple modes, meaning that literally hundreds of different styles and types are available for developers. The legend can be flexible integrated to the chart area. All the text headers and labels can be easily rotated and customized. The chart layout (titles, fonts, colors, etc) can be defined using rich and powerful API, so you can easily manage the style of your chart by changing the parameters.
