SoftwareGFX Library v1.0 Release

Monday, October 26th, 2009

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.
