Modular System
Modular System is the core of AnyChart 8. It allows you to significantly reduce the size of the JavaScript running on your web page by connecting only those chart types and features that you actually use. The modular based AnyChart is perfectly compatible with popular bundling tools such as Webpack, Browserify, and so on. Use our JS Builder to easily generate a custom build.- Check out Modular System in the Documentation.
Custom JavaScript Builds
Custom JavaScript Builder is designed for assembling a JavaScript file that contains only the features and chart types you are really going to use. The AnyMap version 8.0.0 contains 30 modules and 16 themes. You can also build a file that contains your license key .- Try Custom JavaScript Builder right now
- Check out Modular System in the Documentation.
Node.js Server-side Rendering
Node.js server is a lightweight web server that provides API for generating vector graphics (PDF, SVG, or PS), bitmap images (PNG, JPG, or TIFF), PDF reports, and data in CSV and XLSX (Excel). It uses the JavaScript code as well as JSON and XML configurations as input data. The server is very easy to install and customize, you can run it on any major platform: Linux, Windows, and macOS. It is ideal for creating report systems that send charts via email or social network sharing tools.- Take a look at Node.js Server API in the API.
No Data Label Feature
No Data Label Feature is an API designed to notify the chart viewer that data is not available. Data can be missing due to its absence by default or if it has been removed by means of the Data Updating API, Exclude Data Point feature, or through the interactivity.- Check out No Data Label in the Documentation.
CSV/Excel Export Reworked
By popular demand, we've remastered the algorithm for preparing CSV/Excel data for charts. Now it takes into account the chart type specific features and allows you to use multiple data sets for different series.- Check out Data Export in the Documentation.
Chart Export Settings
Now you can customize the export settings for each chart: links and descriptions for sharing on Facebook, image export options, and so on.- Take a look at Chart Export Settings in the API.
- Check out Chart Export Settings in the Documentation.
Context Menu Customization API
We've significantly simplified the process of the context menu customization. Now each item of the context menu is assigned with an ID that can be called to access the corresponding fields and settings as well as to add custom ones. We've also added the option to localize the context menu.- Check out Context Menu in the Documentation.
