We were getting strange bug reports during several years, and the main idea of that reports is the fact that memory in Internet Explorer 6/7 with Flash Player 9/10 leaks when user refreshes the page. We have spent a lot of time and money trying to locate it, we lost a lot of clients. It was a nightmare for everybody in our support and development teams. We have blamed Adobe and Microsoft, but we never could even think that it is not their fault. And today the miracle has happened. We have tested on two different PCs: one of of them had the memory leak, the second one did not. And the reason of the problem was… Internet Explorer Skype add-on.

Please download the latest trial version from AnyChart Download Section.

AnyChart is based on XML data input, but if you’d like to create Data Streaming or fully Client Size interactive applications you can use Java Script data manipulation options.

Also, you can higlight a point or a series, or select/deselect a point. Along with AJAX related functions you can create application that will give users the great option of run-time chart data editing.

Also, the special Dataplot Attributes can be used to update chart titles, footers and other texts on the chart.

Our partners Apex Evangelists have published integration kit for our products and Oracle Application Express. We’re cross-posting that article here. Thank you, Apex Evangelists!!!  Link to original post>>

A few days ago we released our Anychart 5 integration kit for Oracle Application Express (APEX).

Background

APEX has the ability to create (flash) charts. They are based on an older version of Anychart, version 3.3. Although these charts are already nice, there are some problems with it. You can’t do everything you want with it, you can’t print for ex, in short they look fine but not great.
Anychart released a while ago Anychart 5 which not only looks a lot nicer, but it resolved the problems and it has a lot more possibilities and features! Below, on the left, a chart created in APEX by using one of the predefined examples and on the right, the chart in Anychart 5 format.

I hope the charts speak for themselves (more…)

AnyChart, the world leading company in data visualization, and Apex Evangelists, the world leading consulting company which 100% specializes in working with Oracle Application Express, announced today a global partnership to provide high quality customized data visualization solutions for Oracle APEX.
