FusionCharts is a flash charting component that can be used to render data-driven & animated charts for your web applications and presentations.

It is a cross-browser and cross-platform solution that can be used with ASP.NET, ASP, PHP, JSP, ColdFusion, Ruby on Rails, simple HTML pages or even PowerPoint Presentations to deliver interactive and powerful flash charts.

You do NOT need to know anything about Flash to use FusionCharts. All you need to know is the language you're programming in.

Features:

• Animated and interactive Charts
  Using FusionCharts, you can quickly and easily render animated charts that have a lot of interactive options for the end users.


• Easy yet powerful AJAX/JavaScript integration
  With FusionCharts, you can update charts on client side, invoke JavaScript functions as hotspot links, or make dynamic calls for XML data to server without involving any page refreshes.


• No installation hassles
  To use FusionCharts, 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 FusionCharts), and you're ready to go!


• Easy to use
  Since FusionCharts uses XML as its data, all you need to do is convert your data into XML using a programming language or using the visual GUI provided in FusionCharts - and that's all what is required to create interactive and animated charts.


• Runs on a variety of platforms
  FusionCharts uses XML as the data interface, so 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.


• Reduces load on your servers
  All the charts are rendered at client side using the widely installed Adobe Flash Player. The server just streams the pre-built SWF files and your XML data files to the end viewers. Thus, the load on the server when comapred to image based charting systems is greatly reduced.


• A plethora of chart types
  FusionCharts v3 offers you many of chart types. From the basic bar, column, line, pie etc to the advanced combination charts, you can build all the charts with the same ease of use.
