While having a comprehensive report regarding your operating system, company capacity, tasks completed so far or the type of files on your hard disk is useful, the truth is that it is rather tedious to search for the information you need digging through all that data. In fact, for the aforementioned situations as well as similar circumstances it is preferable that you use graphs or charts.

TAdvSmoothCapacityBar is a reliable component designed to enable developers to create iTunes style capacity bars. It is worth mentioning that the bars can be customized with complex gradients along with a full opacity control. At the same time, you can customize the tool so that the total capacity is adjustable and can be changed manually at any time.

If necessary, you can add or allow users to insert a legend so that each bar or area of the capacity meter is identified correctly. The legend can come in handy in various situations, such as when you are dealing with numerous elements or when you are making a presentation for instance. While it may seem like a small element, the capacity bar can help synthesize the information and display it in a way that enables users to take fast decisions.
