A lot of good things come in this grand package: AnyStock HTML5 release, 200+ Map Collection and Bubble Series for AnyMap, and new types of Tooltips along with the ability to multi-select points in AnyChart.

AnyStock 7.7.0 Features

AnyChart Stock and Financial Charts (AnyStock) is a JavaScript-based financial charting solution. AnyStock technology turns your real-time data into highly sophisticated interactive web charts. Designed to display date- and time-based information, AnyStock is an ideal tool for client reporting and performance reporting applications, bringing the analysis of your financial data to life.

Stock Data Engine
We are proud to introduce anychart.data.Table, a data layer designed specifically to meet Stock and Financial Charts needs. Beside basic features like data streaming, data mapping, and transaction-based data flow, anychart.data.Table provides the ability to search and select data by DateTime intervals, which allows to implement custom UI elements based on this data.

Ultimate Performance
Good rendering performance is essential for Stock and Financial Charts, and AnyStock meets this requirement in full. Our performance tests show the ability to render 300,000 points in less than a second on an average PC. The data stream can append 10,000 data points in 100 milliseconds. You can test it yourself on the performance test page.

This release of AnyStock includes basic chart and plot layout options and basic features (such as Scroller, Legend, and Value Highlighter), along with the Column, Line, and OHLC series types. If you are wondering where the technical indicators, other series types, event markers and drawings are, the answer is simple: in our roadmap! Check it out and see that we will catch up very fast.

AnyMap 7.7.0 New Features

Map Collection
Without geographical data, it is impossible to create a data visualization related to geographic areas. We are happy to introduce our new Map Collection. For the moment it contains 200+ country maps and one world map. We are planning to extend this collection, and, of course, the ability to create custom maps is available.
See Map Collection CDN Page >>

AnyStock Alpha Preview

August 3rd, 2015 by Margaret Skomorokh

AnyChart Stock 7 is an upcoming addition to new AnyChart 7 HTML5 JavaScript Engine: Financial charting solution that allows to turn your real time data into highly sophisticated charts with interactive capability.

Designed to display large datetime datasets, AnyStock is the ideal tool for client reporting and performance based reporting applications. Reports and Dashboards are visualized with scrolling, drill downs, panning and zoom functionality.

Demo page: https://www.anychart.com/products/anystock/demos/alpha/

What you can see on a demo page is the early Alpha preview of AnyStock, this chart shows dataset of 20.000 points and it usually takes about half a second to be rendered in a modern browser on an average workstation. The title of the chart you see shows results of the real performance benchmark for this chart on your computer.

We are working hard to go into the release stage, polishing all bells and whistles and hoping to make it by September 2015.

New AnyStock will feature amazing speed and all the neat things our customers loved previous versions of in AnyStock, and it will be fully integrated into the new AnyChart 7 Framework and share most of its ideology, settings technique and ease of use – and you will be able to use it along other charts, including those we have in the AnyChart Basic Charts, AnyGantt Gantt Charts and AnyMap HTML5 Maps.

We are convinced that you will be pleased with the result, stay tuned!

Sparks & Associates Chooses AnyChart to Visualize Assessment Results using JavaScript pie chart

July 3rd, 2015 by Margaret Skomorokh

Today we are glad to publish a new customer success story – about AnyChart and Sparks & Associates.

logo_sparksThe Actualized Leadership Profile (ALP) is a 77-item self assessment that measures an individual’s dominant motive need and corresponding style of leadership. Based on the seminal works of Abraham Maslow and David McClelland, the ALP measures the degree of self-actualization that is demonstrated in one’s current style of leadership. A customized, full color and confidential report identifies the strengths and limitations in the individual’s current leadership approach.

The challenge was:

  • To provide a creative and intuitive visualization of personal assessment results.
  • To create a visualization that accepts result parameters from the system’s existing ASP code.

Solution:

HTML5 chart
