Bullets above the columns

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Since v 1.3.6 Column & Bar chart can display bullets (images) above the columns (or next to bars). Here is an example:

http://www.amcharts.com/column/images-above-the-columns/

This is done using "bullet" syntax:

<value xid="0" color="#7F8DA9" bullet="0.gif">12999</value>

This allows you to display logos or any other image/animated SWF file above the columns.

This is done by setting:

ASP.NET Controls for amCharts

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

I am happy to announce availability of the first beta version of "ASP.NET Controls for amCharts".

"ASP.NET Controls for amCharts" is a set of data-bound .NET controls for generating the code required to display amCharts in your ASP.NET 2.x (or higher) web sites.

Generating data for amCharts and modifying settings on the fly requires a substantial amount of data transformations and XML generation. This is were "ASP.NET Controls for amCharts" step in. This set of ASP.NET controls allows .NET developers to work with amCharts as they would normally do with any native data-bound ASP.NET controls.

Currently ASP.NET controls include support for Pie & Donut charts only.

"ASP.NET Controls for amCharts" are available for immediate download from http://www.amcharts.com/aspnet and if you order commercial version now you can save more that 70%!

ASP.NET controls were developed in cooperation with Alan Mendelevich.
