AnyChart, AnyMap, and AnyGantt 7.6.0

August 13th, 2015 by Margaret Skomorokh

We are proud to announce 3 new releases – AnyChart 7.6.0, AnyMap 7.6.0, AnyGantt 7.6.0. Our team has been working hard to make our products even more aesthetically pleasing, and now all AnyChart charts have a new modern look and design (See the New Look and Theming feature). We have also added a number of other great improvements, and here are the most important of them:

AnyChart 7.6.0 New Features

All AnyChart products now support the Theming feature which makes customizing and integrating charts easier. With Theming, you can set similar visual and functional settings for all charts without duplicating your code.

Crosshairs are thin vertical and horizontal lines centered on a data point, which are useful when you want to locate a point precisely on your chart or to analyse data by comparing different charts.

Pie/Donut Charts are popular, nice-looking, and very easy to understand, and now you can make them even more attractive by adding 3D!

AnyMap 7.6.0 Features

  • Choropleth Maps provide an easy way to visualize how a measurement varies across a geographic area.

  • Quantitative Color Range is a bar colored with a gradient, its colors depend on the palette of a map and its data.
  • Full Compatibility with other Charts – when you need to show any extra information along with a map – no problem! Use AnyMap with any other charts.

  • Now a double-click on borders of data grid columns resets their width to the default value.

AnyMap News and Recap of the Week

July 26th, 2015 by Margaret Skomorokh

Good news, everyone! We are putting finishing touches on the new AnyMap HTML5 engine, along with the new version of AnyChart with an amazing Theming Feature: ability to segregate settings and data once and till the end of times (if you wish to) and switch visual presets on-the-fly. And we are going to show the first demo of AnyStock HTML5 next week too.

Also, some interesting stuff we’ve encountered this week and covered on AnyChart Facebook Page:

We’ve noticed Line Charts in Age of Wonders III and Triumph Studios spotted that we were on the tutorial level.

Two great projects from the UK:

  • Seeing Data: Making Sense of Data Through Visualisations is a research project which aims to understand how people make sense of data visualisations, the project is headed by Helen Kennedy, Professor of Digital Society at the Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield.
  • Compound Interest is a site that aims to take a closer look at the chemical compounds we come across on a day-to-day basis. It also provides graphics for educational purposes, both for teacher and student use. The site is run single-handedly by Andy Brunning, a chemistry teacher based in the UK who creates the graphics for the site in his spare time.
