amCharts for Windows

Product summary

amCharts is a PHP-based utility for generating animated Flash charts that help present statistical information visually. It produces both two- and three-dimensional animated graphics suitable for embedding in web pages, designed to be compact so they don’t consume much bandwidth.

Supplying data and exporting

Chart data can be provided in straightforward text formats such as CSV or XML, making updates as simple as editing a text file. The tool also supports exporting dataset output for use in spreadsheet programs like Excel.

File size and web friendliness

The created Flash files are deliberately small (around 20 KB), which keeps page load times low and makes the visuals easy to deploy across sites without worrying about storage or transfer limits.

Appearance and layout controls

You can fine-tune many visual aspects of each chart:

• Text appearance and typography
• Placement and alignment of chart elements
• Option to include custom background imagery
• Background color selection and theme tweaks
• Shape and size parameters such as radius
• View-angle adjustments for 3D presentations
• Additional display settings for finer control

Platform requirements

Charts require Adobe Flash Player version 6 or later to run. When that runtime is available, amCharts provides a flexible way to create interactive, animated visualizations.

Suggested free alternative

If you prefer an alternative development tool, consider Dev-C++ (available at no cost) as a general-purpose option for building related utilities or preprocessing data.
