3D Charting Tools for Java

3D Charting Tools for Java

Version 1.7

Add 3D line plots, ribbon plots, bar plots, scatter plots, open-high-low-close plots, candlestick plots, bubble plots, contour plots, histogram plots and pie charts, to web and workstation applications using the QCChart3D 3D Charting Tools for Java.

The QCChart3D for Java 3D charting toolkit, written using Java, is for developers who want to add interactive 3D charting graphics to their Java applications. The toolkit includes support for linear  logarithmic and time-base coordinate systems used by financial, engineering and scientific end users. It also includes support for advanced time/date coordinate systems where weekends can be removed from the time scale, and where a day can have a user-defined hourly range, for example: the 9:30AM to 4:00PM range used in financial markets. Advanced user interface functions allow users to interact with 3D charts using the mouse: adding annotations, selecting, marking and moving data points, drilldown, tooltips and zooming into a particular chart region.

Key Benefits

Add powerful 3D charting to your application.

Using Java applets you can add interactive graphics to your web-based application. Web-enabled features like data tooltips, zooming, object selection and moving will give you the advantage over the competition..

Create platform independent applications programs that will work on Windows, Macs and Linux.

QCChart3D uses the same API (different namespace though) as our QCChart2D software. Upgrade your existing code from QCChart2D to QCChart3D in minutes.

Feature Summary

Java IDE Independent - Tested and compatible with Eclipse, JBuilder and NetBeans.

Windows 32-bit/64-bit Compatible - The software will run as 32-bit on Windows 32-bit operating systems (XP and 32-bit  versions of Vista and Windows 7)  and as 64-bit on Windows 64-bit operating systems (64-bit versions of Vista and Windows 7). This is a feature of Java programs in general.

3D Plot Types - Line plots, ribbon 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,  multi-line plots and stacked ribbon plots. An unlimited number of plot types can be combined in the same chart.

3D Transformations - Rotate charts 360 degrees with respect to the x, y and z axes.

Datasets - Datasets hold the 2D and 3D 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 GregorianCalendar based data. Mark data points invalid, forcing a break in plotted lines.

Coordinate Systems - Linear, logarithmic and time/date coordinate systems. An unlimited number of coordinate system, and axes, can be overlaid in the same plotting area of a graph. A coordinate system can be rotated in 3D space  +-360 degrees with respect to the x-, y- or z-dimension.

Time/Date Coordinate Systems - The time/date scale is specified using 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.

Axis Types - Linear, logarithmic and time/date for the x-, y- and z-axes (time axis is restricted to the x-axis). 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.

Backgrounds and Walls - The chart background can use a solid color, gradient, or an image object. Walls can be placed around the chart, emphasizing the 3D effect.

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.
