1.8 Creating Charts with the WebChart Control
Chart controls are some of the most popular commercial controls available. Writing all the graphics code required to create the numerous charts that many business users demand generally isn’t worth your time, but clients may not always want to pay for commercial controls, and, if your requirements are simple, you may not want to fill out the 27 forms it takes to requisition new software at your company. This is where the WebChart control comes in handy.
WebChart is a free chart control that gives you the ability to generate the following types of charts:
Line charts (including smooth)
Column and stacked column charts
Area and stacked area charts
Scattered charts
Pie charts
The WebChart control creates charts by generating the actual images. These images can then be dynamically served up, saved to the filesystem, emailed, and so on as required.
