ChartObject Overview
ChartObject is an OSF/Motif compliant widget providing
comprehensive 2D and 3D charting capabilities.
When used with EditTable, ChartObject can be used to provide
dynamically linked tabular and graphical views of data.
Users can visualize tables of data simply by selecting the
data, and dragging and dropping it onto a
chart!
With ChartObject, chart appearance can be changed
interactively using built-in resource editors, and any graphic
design, logos or text can be overlaid on charts using INT
graphic objects.
Benefits
Diverse
Charting Options
Unlike other charting widgets, ChartObject combines
the full range of 2D and 3D chart types in a single library, without the need
to buy a separate 3D package. All the plot types you need are included, from basic
XY plots, area graphs, bar charts and pie charts, to high-low plots, candlestick
plots, scatter plots, 3D surface displays and many more.
Combine
charts
Combination plots are a piece of cake with ChartObject. It's often important to
show different types of data on the same display, for example share prices as
a high-low plot together with volume traded as a histogram. Combining plots on
the same chart conveys more information and makes for better user interfaces.
Flexible data
handling
Thanks to its Model View Controller (MVC) architecture,
data objects are separate from views of the data in ChartObject. This separation
makes it simpler to generate multiple data views, to change chart types interactively,
or to establish live links between charts and tables. Live links can be established
by the developer or user and may be linked with real-time data feeds.
