　　This product is much like a subscription and delivers the latest ActiveX, .NET (Windows Forms), ASP.NET (Web Forms), DLL, and VCL interfaces, new releases, updates, improvements, and phone/email/online support.

　　So when you purchase Gigasoft ProEssentials, you will get access to all updates and upgrades until we stop supporting changes/improvements (improvements are included until the next major release and updates for 3 years after the release of the next major version.) Free phone, e-mail and online technical support. That right, simple support is included for 2 years after the next major release. So in 2 years from your purchase when you have to maintain your implementation and need help, just give us a call and were glad to help. It all part of picking ProEssentials for your charting needs and the normal level of service were provided our customers for 10 years.

　　ProEssentials is easy to distribute with a no-hassle generous distribution license. Client side development is royalty free. For web development, the ProEssentials product allows for placing ProEssentials?redistributables on one production server, one test server, and one development server.

　　Electronic documentation is available locally on your development system.Walk-Throughs get you started in areas of WinForm development, WebForm development, VB6 ActiveX development, ASP ActiveX development, Win32 DLL development, and VCL Delphi development. There are plenty of examples showing how features are used in conjunction to produce highly interactive and quality data visualization.

　　Our featured online interactive web demo has been updated and the charts are being built with .NET WebForm technology. You'll note gradient bars and drop-shadow effects behind everything, including all text. You can print, maximize, and export images and data right within the browser. Gigasoft Pie Chart now holds some of our most complex logic producing intelligent label placement as close to the slice as possible while utilizing control real-estate perfectly. Honestly, no other Pie Chart even comes close to this quality and attention to detail. Open-High-Low-Close and Candle-Stick features have also been completely rewritten to produce the highest quality output independent of the quantity of data and size of chart. If you run our v5 demo, look at example 030 (the default example), right click it and customize it by removing data shadows. Then zoom in on about 60 candlesticks. Next size the MDI child downward slowly. You'll see five different drawing algorithms as the chart is reduced in size until a candlestick is represented with a one pixel wide vertical line. It's this attention to detail and other similar logic which proves ProEssentials to be the best image producer in the market. Especially for date related charting as ProEssentials' DateTime logic is also the best in the market.
