Qt Charts Functionality

There is a big demand for visually pleasing charts in modern user interfaces. We have designed Qt Commercial Charts to meet the needs for creating interactive chart-based user interfaces – in addition to showing static data in a chart component.  To address these needs we have made the components versatile and extendable.

Developing a single chart type for a single use case with Qt is relatively easy. Qt offers good drawing and data model API’s. However such custom components might be difficult to expand to support several use cases and of course they increase the maintenance burden for application developers. Developing an extendable charting library requires several man months of implementation work and finding the correct chart presentation always requires a lot of implementation before seeing results in action.
