Inexpensive Charting Library

By the way, I downloaded and compiled the C++ demo code. The first thing that impressed me about the library is that it compiled clean (not even a single warning) under VS2005. The second thing that impressed me was that the charts are all flawless. Lastly, the sheer NUMBER of available charts is simply astounding. All that for just $99 (per language).

I downloaded and gave it a test run too. Looks really good. Compiles without warnings on both VC 6 and VC 2005 - which is an excellent achievement. And yeah, the graphs look good too - though till you start using it, it won't be fully obvious how easy it's to implement.

Now, does anyone have any experience with this library? I'm on the verge of buying it.

You may well be the first CPian to buy it :-)

OpenGL is not a lib, so you don't have to install it. DirectX on the other hand...

Both require that the end-user have one or the other installed. Frequently being an end-user myself, I hate to be told I have to install this or that in order to use an app I just downloaded. Why doesn't the download include everything I need? Get my drift? I treat end-users like they're all just like me - lazy.

It is $99 for a developer license + $499 for a redist license. We are talking $598.

The jury is still out on that. I think that's based on a web distribution, not on desktop apps. Like I said earlier, I sent emails, and I'm waiting on a response. The downside is that these people are in hong kong, and they're 13 hours BEHIND on time, so I won't have an answer until tomorrow.

I like to think I understand (and when I don't try and work it out) the various time zones around. If I do understand it correctly, since your in Texas your on Central Time (GMT -6) though for the next couple of weeks it's Central Daylight Time (GMT -5). Hong Kong in (GMT +8), so they are in fact 13 hours ahead or 11 hours behind depending on your view point. Though either way the answer won't arrive until tommorow. Am I even close? Next unrelated wuestion is Mountain Time. Where the hell is that? If I'm not mistaken the following are correct though far from complete - Eastern Time (GMT -5) - Massachussets, New York and the rest of the East Coast. Central Time (GMT -6) - Texas, Illonois and other places. Mountain Time (GMT -7) - ??? Pacific Time (GMT -8) California and the rest of the West Coast. Arizona Time (GMT -?) Different cause they don't have Daylight Savings.

Mountain Time includes all of New Nexico, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, and parts of Idaho and Arizona (and I think parts of a few other states east of Montana).

It also includes a small part of eastern Oregon that is near Boise, Idaho.
