Welcome to KavaChart! KavaChart
is the leading tool for adding charting functionality to Java
environments. KavaChart can be used to display dynamic charts in
applets (KavaChart AlaCarte), it can generate chart images from an application server
(KavaChart ProServe), and it
can be used as a programming tool to add charts to a desktop application (KavaChart Enterprise
Edition), or it can be used in almost
any other way you can imagine.
Visual Engineering has been doing
graphics and charting software since 1983, and consequently, we are in
a unique position to create robust, efficient, and re-usable
components.
We are able to share these components with you for a tiny fraction of
the cost of developing your own software or trying to use freeware tools.
This HTML form of the documentation contains much of the same information in an easily browsable form. ProServe and AlaCarte HTML documentation is combined because the products share a common set of properties for defining chart styles, labelling, and data.

Note:Within some of these chapters you will find links to the KavaChart API reference manual. If you have not purchased the KavaChart Enterprise Edition, links to the API reference manual will be empty. The Enterprise Edition includes full API documentation. You can also download the complete Enterprise User's Guide here.
If you're a web application developer in a JSP environment, we recommend that you install the KavaChart ProServe's "kavachart.war" sample application to see some live examples. The
online ChartWizard is also a great resource for creating JSP and taglib chart definitions. See the chapters on server-side charting for properties specific to application servers. You can find complete KavaChart ProServe documentation in the KavaChart ProServe User's GuideIf you're an experienced Java developer
and you're building a desktop application, you should probably print and
review the complete KavaChart
User's Guide. This document gives you the most thorough introduction to the
KavaChart Enterprise Edition. You'll also have access to the complete KavaChart API through
this document.
