AnyChart Flash Map Features:

* Draw custom markers, bubbles, lines and connectors on the maps.

* Use any SHP file to create your custom map – if you have SHP files that contains maps you need – contact us at contact@anychart.com and we will convert them into AnyChart compatible format.
* Display any map in one of ten map projections.
* Use geographical coordinates (longitude, latitude) to add custom points to the map.
* Use thresholds to color a map automatically, according to the data stored in your database.

AnyChart 4.1.1 – new version with the significant perfomance improvement

November 5th, 2007 by Anton Baranchuk

Today AnyChart programmers have released the new version – 4.1.1 with one very exciting improvement – the performance while loading the data. They say that some research work in the area of nanotechnology and the latest results in CPU engineering were involved 😉 and here it is – https://www.anychart.com/download/

Some tests with huge data sets show the improvement in 30 times – awesome! Now it is very fast!

Yes – I believe in nanotechnology and that words about CPU engineering, but I still think that we deal with some black magic here. 🙂

Of course it is a joke about nanotechnology, actually a lot of work was done to optimize the processing of data and tuning the loading of XML and we’ve got the result. I’m sure AnyChart users would appreciate that and like the new release.
