VARCHART XTree - Product Features

The Diagram Conception of our Tree Charting Software

Our tree charting component VARCHART XTree offers a variety of options to visualize data of different applications:

  • A user can choose, whether the structure of the tree is to be defined by a structure code or by the ID of the parent node.
  • The appearance of nodes (color, format, background, graphics file (*.bmp), etc.) in a tree chart can be specified by a variety of options.
  • In a tree chart, the node appearance is assigned to the nodes in dependence of data. (The data-controlled assignment is defined by maps or filters in form of Boole expressions.)
  • Several data fields can be displayed in a node, varying in order, size, font etc. Their size is dynamic.

  • The type of arrangement and the state of collapsing of the tree structure can be stored and reloaded.
  • Nodes in the tree chart can be displayed in TreeView style.
  • The total height of a tree chart that was arranged vertically can be limited by setting the number of levels.
  • The VARCHART XTree control can be inserted into a HTML page so that it will be visible in a browser.

Property Pages

A tree chart can be customized by property pages. The powerful Application Programming Interface offers a broad variety of options that also can be modified at run time.
You can set all options to be adjusted by the user. Events allow your application to react to your customer's interactions in the tree chart (for example, to validate data). The Application Programming Interface provides a large number of properties, methods and events.

Subtrees in a tree chart can interactively be created at run time from marked nodes or by using filters. You can switch comfortably between the view of the complete tree and of the subtree. Subtrees can be zoomed smoothly.
