FastReport Business Graphics .NET

FastReport Business Graphics is an advanced library for analyzing various types of information and displaying them in multiple accessible formats for developing applications suitable for a plethora of work environments. Implementing it can be done via manual installation into the Visual Studio Toolbox or by integrating it into FastReport’s dedicated Visual Report Designer to avoid using external Integrated Development environments.

This library’s main strength lies in the wide variety of data visualization methods, letting developers pick the right one that suits the target user base for the application in development. An excellent display of its advantages can be explored through the sample apps included in the trial. For instance, a customizable horizontal timeline view of a development schedule can provide a better understanding of how much time certain features require to be implemented.

Moreover, the library’s flexibility is further demonstrated via four main methods of illustrating analyzed data. Firstly, the Bubble visualization template can be helpful for increasing awareness of a larger information category compared to its inner elements, and it can be used in showing the importance of certain lesson chapters in a topic’s curriculum.

Secondly, a TreeMap viewpoint is a great manner through which hierarchical importance is emphasized in a top-down fashion, demonstrating an institution’s size and role in terms of its subordinated branches. Finally, when it comes to presenting values in an easy-to-understand method, the Sunburst chart resembling Florence Nightingale’s rose diagram is an excellent choice.
