3rd party charts and graphs

[xl600]

I would like to find out if there are any 3rd party (Free or for purchase) libraries which contain enhanced graphics objects.  For example, I would like to find a robust strip chart capable of displaying multiple simultaneous (Time locked or common X axis) strips in separate plots with the ability to re-arrange the plots vertically (Drag and drop), save the configuration, etc.  I'm sure this can be done via a lot of detailed programming, but I'd rather just use already available solutions if they exist.

Are there 3rd party controls that replace and enhance the built in LabView graphs and charts?

Thanks,

Robert

Below are some options for advanced graphical controls:

VantagePoint Trend

The VantagePoint Trend control is a scalable and highly-customizable data visualization control that allows you to track changes in data over time from a given data source or set of data sources, all in a cross-platform cross-browser environment.  This control have serperate versions for WPF andSilverlight.

Visifire Charts

Visifire is a set of data visualization controls - powered by Microsoft® Silverlight™ & WPF. Visifire is a multi-targeting control which can be used in both WPF & Silverlight applications. Using the same API, charts in both Silverlight & WPF environments can be created within minutes. Visifire is independent of server side technology, and can be used with ASP, ASP.Net, SharePoint, PHP, JSP, ColdFusion, Python, Ruby or just simple HTML. Check out more information on page http://www.visifire.com/.

amCharts Bundle for WPF

It is a set of highly customizable, interactive WPF charts for WPF applications.

Quick Charts for WPF&Silverlight

It is an easy to use, fast set of charting controls. Compared to amCharts Bundle, it has less features and only supports column and line graphs.

You should be able to find online documentation further describing the specifications of the above products.

Thanks.  Those all appear to be WPF based with no native LabView capability.  Do you know of any LabView add-ons of the same sort?

I am not sure what your specific application is, but there is a way to search for third party software products compatible with LabVIEW. By opening the following link and searching under the 'Third-Party Add-Ons' tab under the 'LabVIEW Tools Network' menu, you can scan the list for potentially relevant toolkits.

Finnish company Arction seems to have developed something really crazy. Multichannel strip recorder chart capable of 1 Billion points in real time.

Take a look, very interesting:  http://arction.com/billion_data_points_visualization

It's part of LightningChart. 

They have it for .NET, WPF and WinForms but sadly I didn't find any reference of how to use it in LabView. Shouldn't National instruments adapt this part of LabView?  I bet there would be a lot of users happy with this kind of power. 

I've expirimented with LightningChart a couple of weeks and going to purchase for our new measurement application. Going to use LabView for our older systems though.

If it has a .NET interface, LabView should be able to interface to it without much fuss.  WPF, unfortunately, is only available for LabView Measurement Studio.

Impressive! But could you link me a monitor with 1 billion pixel resolution? An artificial eye implant is needed too!

edit: no offense, but it is not that difficult to code a display library in LabVIEW which decimates (or averages, etc...) then displays large data sets. Can be done in a few hours (depending on the required features, like zoom can be tricky)...
