Welcome to RMCDesigner.

This tool has two main purposes:

• A learning purpose: It shows you nearly the whole potential of RMChart. With the included sample projects, which you can load into the designer, you can discover all the possibilities which the charting system offers. I strongly suggest to have a look on each of these sample files and "play" with them in the designer to see how everything works and what is possible. Get the source of every sample and paste it into your editor/development system to see how it works. I'm sure that this is the best way to get quickly into RMChart.

• A design helping purpose: Design your own charts in RMCDesigner. If you want to show "static" charts in your application you can design almost every aspect of the chart, including the data, and save the plain data string either in your EXE or a resource file or in a *.rmc-project file. Later in your application you could "play-back" the chart with just two lines of code - that's all. Or you get the source code with a mouseclick for your development system (currently: BCX, C#.NET, PowerBASIC, Visual Basic 6, VB.NET) and paste it into your application. Even if your application needs "living" charts, where the data is changing during runtime, you can use the designer to create the source for the basic aspects of your chart. Your coding task will then be restricted only in feeding the chart with data during runtime of your application.
