ProWorks Chart Skinning Example

Here's an example that sets ProWorks charts apart from other charting packages - skinning! Skins allow you to customize your chart the way you or your client want it. This could include branding the chart with a company logo, distinctive fonts, colors, and images.

Note that you can select a different "skin" and give the chart a totally different look!

Press Release: ProWorks Releases Powerful New Charting Component for .NET Applications

Press Release: ProWorks Releases Powerful New Charting Component for .NET Applications
ProWorks Corporation, a technology leader in data visualization and analysis since 1986, announced the release of ProWorks Chart for Windows 1.0, a powerful charting solution for .NET.

Corvallis, OR (PRWEB) June 19, 2004 -– ProWorks Corporation, a technology leader in data visualization and analysis since 1986, announced the release of ProWorks Chart for Windows 1.0, a powerful charting solution for .NET. ProWorks Chart for Windows is the latest evolution of graphical solutions by ProWorks and delivers advanced financial and statistical formulas, unique design features and a simple to use interface.

The Financial and Statistical Package includes all of the sophisticated analysis formulas found in high priced products at a fraction of the cost. Such formulas include Bollinger Bands, Mass Index, ANOVA, F-Test and T-Test. “ProWorks has always allowed its users to drive the path of our products,” said Jason Prothero, the Product Manager at ProWorks. “The Financial and Statistical Package was created in response to our customers communicating to us that such a package would greatly increase the value of their charting solution. We will continue to update the package with new formulas and analysis techniques according to the needs of our users.”

ProWorks Chart for Windows is completely written in managed code to take full advantage of the Microsoft .NET framework and GDI+. Design features such as alpha-blending, gradients, shadows, transparencies, and image manipulation result in visually stunning and professional charts and graphs. The most innovative design feature is the implementation of reusable XML design templates called chart skins. Chart skins control the design style, color palette, and layout of the chart without affecting the logic layer. Skins may be applied to any number of charts and graphs during run-time for customized look and feel appropriate to the viewer. Maintaining a consistent style throughout an application, report, presentation or even the entire organization is made easier with chart skins. “Skins are typically associated with desktop media players. Chart skins work the same way. They allow the user to dramatically change the appearance of the chart image without affecting the logic or functionality.” Jason Prothero added.

ProWorks Chart for Windows is licensed per developer and may be distributed freely in run-time. The Financial and Statistical Package and a full service annual support contract may be purchased with the license or separately. A fully functional trial version is available for download at the www.proworks.com. Purchasing of ProWorks Chart for Windows and other ProWorks products and services are also available at the ProWorks website.

ProWorks Corporation has been a trusted maker and supporter of expert graphical visualization components since 1986. ProWorks has developed award-winning graphing/charting tools, CAD tools, and windowing components. ProWorks' current products include Flipper Graph ASP, Flipper Graph Control and Flipper CAD Control.
