Graphics Server 6.1 Evaluation
There is an evaluation or trial version available for download on Grey Matter's website. This is the Demo of v6.0 Graphics Server. This includes both an ActiveX OCX preview control, as well as a server-side preview web DLL.
Industry Leader
Graphics Server was initially released in 1991 as the first graphing and charting tool for Windows developers. The product has been a pioneer in releasing state-of-the-art solutions for over a decade.
Value-Packed
Graphics Server simply provides the best value of all dedicated graphing products for COM and .NET. For example, Graphics Server requires no additional server licenses for Internet deployment. In many cases Graphics Server deployment will cost one tenth or less of other graphing products when deployed. If you produce applications for commercial distribution you can't beat the value of Graphics Server.
No Hassle
Eliminate the administrative headaches of managing server licensing issues imposed by other graphing products. Try reading and understanding the licensing agreements of the other products and compare them to the straight-forward Graphics Server license. With Graphics Server there is no need to buy multiple extensions, add-ons, or fight your way through multiple product offerings. Just simple, no nonsense solutions from Graphics Server.
Features Galore
Graphics Server provides one of the most comprehensive graphing tools available on the market. Our COM product supplies impressive functionality that beats the competitors. The .NET product easily competes on features, properties, and flexibility. See how we stack up to other products and you will agree.
