The main idea of Chart ModelKit is to provide developers with the ability to create charts according to user requirements without challenging any special knowledge and high qualification. The product includes components allowing the displaying and managing of charts. Chart is a compound object, having a hierarchical tree-type structure. The whole chart consists of separate simple elements. Such decomposition provides the ability to create charts of different types, due to a variety of element combinations. Setting of elements’ properties, behavior and appearance is intuitive and easy due to the true WYZIWIG designer.
