csDrawGraph

This is an ASP component for creating graphs and charts on the fly. The resulting graph can be streamed to a browser or saved to a file. It can be used with default settings to create graphs quickly and easily, or customised to suit your web page.

Produce 2D bar charts and pie charts dynamically from an ASP script.
Plot simple line graphs containing multiple lines.
Stacked bar charts can show multiple values in each bar.
Export graphs in GIF format or PNG, with optional transparency.
Full control of colour, size and font styles including support for Unicode.
Optional linear trend lines can be added to bar charts.
Produce an HTML image map for the chart.
Built in default settings allow graphs to be produced with a few lines of code.

Using ASP to generate graphs makes it easy to integrate the display with the rest of your web application. Generating a GIF or PNG image allows a clear image to be produced, with optional transparency. Control over colours and text styles enables you to make your charts fit in with an existing web site design.

There are a wide range of properties that control the appearance of a graph. Most of these properties can be left at their default values allowing a graph to be produced relatively quickly. The overall size can be varied, including the length and position of the axes. The total values can be shown on bar charts and pie charts. A prefix or suffix can be added to these values to display currency or other units. Text annotations can be added, and on line graphs the plotted coordinates can be used. For full details see the online manual and also our demo section.

csDrawGraph is a COM object and can be used with other COM enabled applications, such as Visual Basic or Cold Fusion. It is not restricted to classic ASP. We have an OCX control, csXGraph, which is more suitable for use with visual programming tools. We also have a .NET specific component, csASPNetGraph.

Here are some simple examples showing graph types:

A wider range of styles can be viewed in our Demonstration Area.

We have some demos that you can view and download:
Simple Example - A simple pie chart and bar chart, on one page.
Database Example - This shows how graphs can be produced by taking data from a database.
Image Map - A chart with a dynamically generated image map.

For a full description of all the properties, read the online manual. Or view the pdf version.
