DHTMLX Library for Mobile and Touch Devices

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

UPD: DHTMLX Touch 1.0 was released on November 14, 2011 (download the update).

We have finally decided on how the DHTMLX Touch library will look on mobile and touchscreen devices. Look at the screenshots, and see how you like it. If you do – and we really like what we see – then be ready for it in December 2010! ;-)

What we are eager to offer you is a component library with a touch-enabled interface familiar to most users of iOS, Android, etc., which will look appealing on other kind of devices as well. We will use our experience and best practices from web apps development together with modern technologies to bring you a nice-looking and easy-to-use (right from the first steps) JavaScript framework for building web applications oriented to touchscreen devices, big and small. And not just touchscreen…

dhtmlxChart Updated: Stacked, Series, and New Chart Types

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Even though the first official release of dhtmlxChart was introduced just 2 months ago, today we are ready to present its update pack. You will be pleasantly surprised by the various useful features we have added to our JavaScript charting library.

Area Chart
isOur first piece of good news is the announcement of a new type. We have extended the types variation with the area chart. The stacked area charts are just the thing to use when you need to show how a separate data value contributes to the total, or which part of the whole this value represents. The component can also draw series of area charts.

Spline Chart
Another new type is the spline chart, which is similar to the line chart, but a curve approximates the intervening values and goes smoothly between data points. You may also generate a series of spline charts, if needed.
