VARCHART XNet lets you graphically display, edit and print data in the form of network diagrams.

Main Features include:

Implement an initial graphical representation of your data in a matter of minutes, and benefit from the wide range of design options. Provide your customers with completely new views of their data.


Interactions available to the user

For project management charts an integrated scheduling module is available. Data can be loaded and stored to CSV files or via the application programming interface (API). Single data can be inserted, modified or deleted by user interaction.

• creating, deleting or moving nodes and links
• editing data of nodes and links
• automatic layout of nodes to maintain clarity in large or complicated networks
• grouping after criteria and sorting of groups. Nodes can be grouped by a data field individually defined. Groups can easily be identified by their title.
• adjusting the flow direction of the network between "top to bottom" and "left to right"
• continuous zooming and autoscrolling of diagrams
• integrated worldview (complete view) for navigation purposes
• integrated printing functionality with paging and page previews, title and legend
• diagram export (formats: VMF, WMF, JPG, BMP, EPS, GIF, PCX, PNG, TIF)
• support of OLE drag&drop for nodes and links.

The diagram conception

VARCHART XNet offers to the user a variety of options to graphically display data for different applications:

• the appearance of nodes (color, format, background, graphics file (*.bmp), etc.) can be specified by a variety of options.
• the node appearance is assigned to the nodes in dependence on the data. (The data-controlled assignment is defined via maps or filters in form of Boolean expressions.)
• Several data fields can be displayed in a node in any order, size, font etc.
• The appearance of links can vary.
• The four different link types (FF, FS, SF, and SS) are shown graphically. The links can be annotated.
• Positions of nodes and links can be kept in data fields to be stored and restored.
• Auxiliary nodes can be positioned, that is, nodes can be placed in the same rank as their predecessors.
• Project activities can be scheduled via an integrated scheduling module (including the calculation of floats, critical path etc.)

Easy-To-Use Programming Interface

The graphical layout of your Gantt application can be configured with the comfortable help of property pages. The powerful application programming interface (API) offers even more options that can be modified at run time. You can set all options to be adjusted by the user. Events let your application react to your customer's interactions (for example, to validate data). The Application Programming Interface contains an amount of properties, methods and events.


Property Pages

The diagrams can be customized via the property pages. The powerful Application Programming Interface offers an amount of further options that can be modified at run time.
