FusionWidgets XT - Features

FusionWidgets v3 (previously FusionGadgets & FusionCharts Instrumentation Suite) is a collection of real-time gauges and charts for use in dynamic web applications. It is a part of FusionCharts v3 suite, but works independently of other products in the suite.

Made in Adobe Flash 8, FusionWidgets can be used with any web scripting language like HTML, .NET, ASP, JSP, PHP, ColdFusion etc., as it uses XML as the interface. It makes full use of the fluid beauty of Adobe Flash to create compact, interactive and visually-arresting charts.

FusionWidgets can be effectively used to develop financial applications, instrument panels, executive dashboards, live "up-to-second" stock monitors and manufacting process monitoring applications. Perfectly suited for data visualization and analysis requirements, where KPI's (Key Performance Indicators) and other critical data is monitored in real time, FusionWidgets brings the combined experience of programmers and graphic visualizers to you in a set of extremely easy-to-use controls.

  • Advantages of using FusionWidgets
    Animated and interactive Charts Using FusionWidgets, you can quickly and easily render animated charts that have a lot of interactive options for the end users. Different chart types support different forms of animation and interactivity, thereby providing a different experience to the end users.
  • Real-time charting capabilities
    Most of the charts in FusionWidgets support real-time updating capabilities i.e., the chart can update themselves at the specified interval by fetching new data, without invoking any page refreshes.
  • No installation hassles
    To use FusionWidgets, you do not have to install anything on your server. All you need to do is copy paste the SWF files (the core files of FusionWidgets) to your server, just like you would do to any image files - and you're ready to go! So, even on those servers which do not allow installation of ActiveX or any other form of components, FusionWidgets can run without any hassles.
  • Easy to use
    FusionWidgets makes the chart creation process a painless experience for you. Since it uses XML as it's data, all you need to do is convert your data into XML using a programming language - and that's all what is required to create interactive and animated charts.
  • Runs on a variety of platforms
    Irrespective of what server side scripting language you're using, FusionWidgets can be used to create charts in that. Since FusionWidgets uses XML as the data interface, you can run it on any server and against any scripting language. Also, to view the charts, your users just need to have Adobe Flash Player 8, which is one of the most used browser plugins on planet.
  • Reduces load on your servers
    In traditional image based charting systems, the charts are generated as image at the server side. So, for each chart that you need to serve to a user, you'll have to build complex images on the server and then stream it to the client. When the need of hour is high, this can be an expensive resource on the server, as image creation takes a lot of toll on the server.
    FusionWidgets brings you relief here - all the charts are rendered at client side using the widely installed Adobe Flash Platform. The server is just responsible for streaming the pre-built SWF files and your XML data files to the end viewers. From there on, Flash Player takes the onus of rendering the charts. Also, the chart SWF Files can be cached so that you can just update the data, and not send chart SWF files every time.
  • A plethora of chart types
    FusionWidgets v3 offers your a plethora of chart types. From real-time gauges to data-streaming charts, you can build all the charts with the same ease of use.
  • Clear licensing policies
    FusionWidgets offers you a clear cut no-nonsense licensing model. You do NOT get charged for per-testing server or per-production server. Once you buy a license of FusionWidgets, you can host it on multiple servers, if all those servers are hosting the same website. They offer unlimited development servers, unlimited test servers and unlimited CPUs on a given server with each license of FusionWidgets.
    Moreover, if you're using multiple technologies for the same application - like say, ASP for a few modules and PHP for a few modules, you can use FusionWidgets for both of them, without having to pay us anything additional. This saves you a lot on licensing cost and renders a generic look and feel to all the charts of your application.
  • Easy AJAX integration
    FusionWidgets offers advanced charting options to easily integrate charts with AJAX or JavaScript modules. For example, you can change the chart's data at client-side itself without invoking any call to server. You can call JavaScript modules when user interacts with chart's hot-spots etc.
