With nearly unlimited variation, Vvidget is ideal at making that perfect graph you always wanted but could never achieve using other graphing applications. With many entry points, Vvidget is used for everything from learning and experimentation to very ambitious data reporting projects that monitor billions of dollars in commerce. Vvidget has features so advanced that, in over its life of 15 years, many features have never been duplicated in other graphing applications. All The Good Stuff From The Experts Vvidget™ is the premier chart and graph system for Mac OS X. Developed by the experts and derived from over a decade of use at the largest corporations. It has features so advanced that, in over 10 years, many are not available in similar systems. Wizards serve the singular purpose of converting data to charts. The powerful point-and-click graph building tool places freedom and power of professional tools in the hands of its user. Palettes provide immediate drag-and-drop access to charts used most often. The single purposed applications give instant automated chart reporting. Features To Spare In addition to all the standard features, Vvidget includes advanced features such as floating ticks, curves that can extend beyond the graph frame or can be truncated and literally hundreds of tunable parameters. 3D types rotate in real time and even the graph labels can be rotated in their own plane, independent of the main graph rotation. Data can be inserted through a list of numbers or by point and click methods. Unlimited Refinement Predefined markers and end caps are provided on palettes, or you can make your own markers and end caps for unlimited variation. With the general editing tools you can make very specialized markers, end caps, graphics and graph layouts. Points are formatted with extended precision so you can alter data values with large dynamic range and high resolution. Extend The Power Vvidget has powerful point and click applications. You can extend that power by using Vvidget Builder as a template maker and Vvidget Code to automate graphing on those templates thus taking the drudgery out of inserting data onto a graph.
