AnyChart 7 Released

August 29th, 2014 by Margaret Skomorokh

AnyChart is entering a new era – leaving behind Flash and moving to a more modern and promising technology, JavaScript HTML5.


Today we are proud to announce the release of AnyChart 7 – a new HTML5 version of our product. The main great features of AnyChart 7 are:

  • Groundbreaking, much more flexible API.
  • A higher performance – milliseconds of rendering time, even on large data sets.
  • A completely new system of dealing with data.
  • Incredibly flexible opportunities for dashboard creation.
  • An opportunity to use any element separately (framework).
  • An opportunity to change any setting of your chart on-the-fly.
  • Full compatibility of all types of charts (including, very soon, AnyStock, AnyGantt and AnyMap).
  • Borderless opportunities for customization.
  • Compatibility with all platforms including iOS/Android and outdated browsers.

The chart types available in AnyChart 7 are presented in the gallery. You can also learn about the new API and read the documentation.

We have already released two versions, AnyChart 7.0.0 and AnyChart 7.1.0 (see our version history). Further we are going to release a new update every two-three months or more often. You can find out our plans for the future in the roadmap.

Those who use AnyChart 6 should not be worried: we will satisfy our support obligations according to the agreements, and all resources related to the old version will be available here: http://6.anychart.com/products/. But public bug fixes will be made during only one year, and there will be no new features for AnyChart 6. As for migration from 6.x to 7.x – in a couple of months we will offer a converter module which will help you to move to the new version.

AnyChart 6.0.11 Released

November 30th, 2012 by Margaret Skomorokh

We are glad to announce that AnyChart 6.0.11 is now available for download. Our team keeps improving the HTML5 engine and broadening the range of features supported by it. We have also made a number of important bug fixes both for the HTML5 and Flash engine.

New HTML5 features:

  • Radar plots
    A radar plot is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data. Variables are represented on axes starting from the same point, where the relative position and angle of the axes is uninformative. It is also known as spider chart, star chart, kiviat diagram, etc. AnyChart allows displaying three types of series on radar charts: Line, Area and Marker.
  • Polar plots
    A polar plot is a plot drawn on a circular grid, showing trends in values on the basis of angles: each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a fixed point and an angle from a fixed direction. AnyChart allows drawing Line, Area and Marker series on polar plots.
  • Indicator and Bulb gauges
  • Label gauges
  • Circular gauges (now fully supported)

HTML5 bug fixes:

  • The getInformation() method obfuscation problem with Gauge charts is fixed.
  • Axis Crossing attribute problems are fixed.
  • Bar/Line overlay problems are fixed.

Flash bug fixes:

  • Flex component no longer throws an error when the legend is enabled in charts.
  • Marker series are now properly animated.

And the last, but not the least: we have solved the problem with maps in Chrome. Pepper Flash Chrome plugin peculiarities make it impossible for AnyMap of earlier versions to work properly, and there is only way to avoid this for sure: upgrade to AnyChart 6.0.11.

NERRS Centralized Data Management Office Chooses AnyChart to Visualize Water Quality and Weather Data

June 29th, 2012 by Margaret Skomorokh

We are glad to present a new customer success story that demonstrates how AnyChart was used to visualize water quality and weather data.

logo_NERRSThe National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) is a partnership program between the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the coastal states, established in 1972. It encompasses a network of 28 areas representing different biogeographic regions of the United States that are protected for research, education, and stewardship. Quantitative measurements within the program concern both short-term variability and long-term changes in the water quality and weather of estuarine ecosystems. The NERRS Centralized Data Management Office is charged with managing and disseminating these data.

The challenge was:

  • To provide graphs of near real-time water quality and weather data that is transmitted hourly from National Estuarine Research Reserves across the United States.
  • To allow users, which vary from local fishermen to research scientists, a quick and clean way to view data from one or multiple parameters (such as air temperature, wind direction, salinity, etc.) for the past 24 hours.

The solution consisted in the following:

  • AnyChart’s charting technology was chosen as a solution. Data from an SQL database is converted to the XML format by ColdFusion and passed to the Flex version of AnyChart component, which is an easy and quick way to update the graphs.
  • AnyChart’s ample opportunities for customization were used to create comprehensible and clear interactive visualizations.

This visualization is publicly available through the NERRS Centralized Data Management Office Real Time Data Application
