Multi-Threaded Design

ChartDirector is thread-safe for high performance real time applications. Charts can contain millions of data points. Multiple charts can be created concurrently.

MFC, Qt Widgets, Qt Quick/QML and Command Line Sample Code

Includes plenty of sample code for the MFC charts (Windows edition only), Qt charts and command line charting programs. The MFC and Qt sample code demonstrates how to create GUI applications with hundreds of charts of different styles, all with tool tips and are clickable. There are also sample MFC and Qt charts that demonstrate programmable track cursors, zooming and scrolling, and real time charts.

Note: ChartDirector for C++ is GUI framework neutral. The MFC, Qt Widgets and Qt Quick/QML charting programs are provided as examples. You may use ChartDirector with other GUI frameworks as well.
