The QCChart2D for Java
charting toolkit, written entirely using Java, is for developers who want to
add sophisticated interactive charting graphics to their Java applications and
applets. The toolkit includes support for linear,
logarithmic, polar and antenna coordinate systems used by engineering and
scientific end users. It also includes support for advanced time/date and
elapsed time coordinate systems required by business end users. Advanced user
interface functions allow users to interact with applications using the mouse:
adding annotations, selecting, marking and moving data points, drilldown, tooltips and zooming into a particular chart region.
Revision 2.0
adds six plot types, elapsed time scaling, vertical time scaling, dataset
viewers, and new user interface routines for zooming and panning.
Anyone who purchased an earlier revision of QCChart2D for
Java in the previous two years can upgrade for free using the
the download link(s) they were sent in an e-mail at the time of the original
order. Versions older than that can be upgraded

New Features added to Revision 2.0
 | Five new general plot types -
for Cartesian, time and elapsed time coordinate systems:
BoxWhiskerPlot, FloatingStackedBarPlot, RingChart, SimpleVersaPlot,
and GroupVersaPlot |
| Antenna Charts - Antenna
charts are commonly used by engineers to plot the performance
characteristics of antenna designs. Antenna charts are a circular
chart type similar to a polar chart, the differences being angular
displacements are measured clockwise, and radial values can range
from negative to positive. |
| Elapsed time scaling -
time based scaling based on a TimeSpan class, which measures
elapsed time without an implicit date. |
| Vertical axis scaling for
time/date and elapsed time coordinate systems - All of our users
in the well-logging industry will appreciate this new feature. |
| DatasetViewer class - for
the grid-like display of dataset information in a chart table. |
| MagniView class -Pass a
magnify cursor over a chart and see a constantly updated, and
magnified, view of the data in a second window. |
| CoordinateMove class - use
the mouse to grab the chart and drag, or pan it: left, right,
up, down. |
| Integrated zoom stack
processing - Undo zoom events with a mouse click. |
Feature Summary
| Java IDE Independent - Tested and compatible with
Eclipse, JBuilder and NetBeans. |
| Plot Types - Line plots, area plots, bar plots, line
marker plots, floating bars, scatter plots, group plots,
open-high-low-close plots, error bar plots, pie charts, contour
plots, candlestick plots, line gap plots, cell plots, histogram
plots, arrow plots, bubble plots, polar plots, multi-line plots,
stacked line plots, box and whisker plots, floating stacked bar
plots, ring plots, antenna plots, versa plots.. An unlimited number
of plot types can be combined in the same chart. |
| Datasets - Datasets hold the data plotted in the chart.
Charts can plot an unlimited number of datasets, each dataset can
contain an unlimited number of data points. Datasets can hold
numeric and Java GregorianCalendar
date/time based data with millisecond resolution. Mark data
points invalid, forcing a break in plotted lines. |

Group
dataset viewer |
| Dataset Viewer - A new dataset viewer class will display
simple and group datasets in a grid-like table. The grid can be
positioned anywhere on the chart. Individual grid
cells can be edited and the associated chart immediately updated using
the synchronize feature. |
| Coordinate Systems - Linear, logarithmic, time/date and
polar coordinate systems. An unlimited number of coordinate system,
and axes, can be overlaid in the same plotting area of a graph. |
| Time/Date Coordinate Systems - The time/date scale is
specified using Java GregorianCalendar objects. The time/date scales
take into account the varying number of days in months and years.
The scales can also take into account non-continuous time/date
scales where a 5-day week is used, or where a full day consists of a
specific time interval that can be something less than a 24-hour
day. For example, it is possible to define a time/date scale where
weekends are excluded and the day consists of the hours between 9:30
AM and 4:00 PM. |
| Elapsed Time Coordinate System - The original Time/Date
scale proved less than optimal for the display of time span data, i.e.,
time values not associated with a specific calendar date. Starting
with Rev. 2.0, the software supports elapsed time
plotting, based on a simple TimeSpan class. The elapsed
time scale can be either horizontal or vertical.
This includes new dataset types (ElapsedTimeSimpleDataset,
ElapsedTimeGroupDataset), a new coordinate system class
(ElapsedTimeCoordinates), a new axis class (ElapsedTimeAxis) and a new
axis labels class (ElapsedTimeAxisLabels). |

| Axis Types - Linear, logarithmic, time/date and polar axis types.
All axis types have manual and auto-scaling modes for setting axis ranges.
Axis auto-scaling modes handle multiple datasets, group data and contour
data. A chart can have an unlimited number of axes. |
Examples of axis labels - click to enlarge
| Axis Labels - Axes can have decimal, exponential, time, date,
string and multi-line labels. Programmers can define custom numeric and
time/date axis labels. |
| Chart Titles - Charts can have a main title, a subhead and a
footer. Axes can have horizontal and vertical titles. |
| Grid Options - Grid lines of any line style and color can
highlight major and minor axis tick marks. |
| Export Chart Images - using the JPEG format. |
| Import jpeg Image objects - Use jpeg image objects as plot
elements in a chart, or as a background object. |
| Legends for All Plot Types - Position horizontal and vertical
legends anywhere in a chart. A chart can have an unlimited number of
legends. |
| Mouse Support - A group of classes implementing
mouse event delegates can locate, select and move chart objects
like data plots, axes, titles, and legends. |

| The
MagniView cursor magnifies what is under it |
The
MagniView class works with charts that overlay multiple coordinate
systems |
| MagniView - Similar to zooming, the
mouse controls a “magnifying” rectangle as it passes over an existing
chart. The area of the chart within the bounds of the magnifying
rectangle is “magnified” and continuously redrawn in a separate
window. The MagniView class works with charts that use a simple xy
axis pair, and charts that combine one or more coordinate
systems. |
| Panning - Use the new MoveCoordinates class to pan data in
the x- and y-dimension. Click and drag in the plot area and rescale
the graph proportionally. |
Example of a
data cursor and markers - click to enlarge
| Data Cursors - XOR data cursors are used to position the
mouse cursor over data points in a plot. |
| Data Markers - Drop special marker symbols on to the data
presented in a graph, much like a bookmark in a word processing
document. |
Examples of a
annotations - click to enlarge
| Graph Annotations - Add an unlimited number single and multi-line
text objects, arrows and geometric objects to a chart. |
Examples of a
data tooltips, standard and custom - click to enlarge
|
Data ToolTips - Select a data point with the mouse and popup a tooltip
window that displays the data x- and/or y-values for the data points.
Programmers can create custom information displays for tooltip
windows. |
| Data Compression - Large
datasets can be compressed, increasing display speed without loss of
detail. |
| Based on the Java Graphics2D API - Compatible with Java
components and applications. |
| High Resolution Printing -
Since the underlying 3D graphics kernel uses Java Graphics2D
primitives (lines, polygons and text), printer output is recreated on
the printer, through Java and the operating systems printing engine,
at the printer resolution and does not pass through an intermediate
bitmap that can drastically lower printer output resolution.
|
| 100% Java Code - The software is entirely written in Java,
resulting in better performance and scalability. Managed Java code
makes applications easier to deploy and maintain. |
| Documentation and Demo/Example Programs - The software
includes a comprehensive 400 page user manual with many programming
examples, Javadoc help for every class and 75 complete demo programs.

Custom Programming Services
| QCChart2D for Java is an extremely powerful and
flexible software package. It contains over 1000 methods and
properties in more than 100 classes. The user manual and help
file documentation are more than 1000 pages. This can be
overwhelming to the average programmer who wants to start
programming today and have the prototype of an application working
in a week. |
| The variety of user interfaces for charting applications is as
diverse as the industries using the software. The end-user of an
application at a mutual fund expects to interact with the chart in a
manner different than that of an end-user in health care. The same
can be said for other industries: semiconductors, quality control,
teaching, biotechnology, etc. |
| That is why we have written so many outstanding example
programs, pulled from a wide variety of industries using many
different styles of user interface. |
| We know that your application may be similar to, but still
uniquely different from any of our example programs. To that end we
offer our programming services to write for you a custom example
program that demonstrates how to code the chart format and user
interface you want. That jump start to your project can save you
many weeks of work and make you look like a chart programming
genius. All you have to be able to do is describe in detail
what you want the example to do. |
| Using QCChart2D for Java, expertise includes
writing applications that can be run on workstations, and applets
that can run in web browsers. For more information or a quote,
