Advantages of using FusionGadgets
Animated and interactive Charts
Using FusionGadgets, you can quickly and easily render animated charts that have a lot of interactive options for the end users. Different chart types support different forms of animation and interactivity, thereby providing a different experience to the end users.

Real-time charting capabilities
Most of the charts in FusionGadgets support real-time updating capabilities i.e., the chart can update themselves at the specified interval by fetching new data, without invoking any page refreshes.

No installation hassles
To use FusionGadgets, you do not have to install anything on your server. All you need to do is copy paste the SWF files (the core files of FusionGadgets) to your server, just like you would do to any image files - and you're ready to go! So, even on those servers which do not allow installation of ActiveX or any other form of components, FusionGadgets can run without any hassles.

Easy to use
FusionGadgets makes the chart creation process a painless experience for you. Since it uses XML as it's data, all you need to do is convert your data into XML using a programming language or using the visual GUI provided in FusionGadgets - and that's all what is required to create interactive and animated charts.

Runs on a variety of platforms
Irrespective of what server side scripting language you're using, FusionGadgets can be used to create charts in that. Since FusionGadgets uses XML as the data interface, you can run it on any server and against any scripting language. Also, to view the charts, your users just need to have Adobe Flash Player 8, which is one of the most used browser plugins on planet.

Reduces load on your servers
In traditional image based charting systems, the charts are generated as image at the server side. So, for each chart that you need to serve to a user, you'll have to build complex images on the server and then stream it to the client. When the need of hour is high, this can be an expensive resource on the server, as image creation takes a lot of toll on the server.

FusionGadgets brings you relief here - all the charts are rendered at client side using the widely installed Adobe Flash Platform. The server is just responsible for streaming the pre-built SWF files and your XML data files to the end viewers. From there on, Flash Player takes the onus of rendering the charts. Also, the chart SWF Files can be cached so that you can just update the data, and not send chart SWF files every time.

A plethora of chart types
FusionGadgets v3 offers your a plethora of chart types. From real-time gauges to data-streaming charts, you can build all the charts with the same ease of use.

Clear licensing policies
FusionGadgets offers you a clear cut no-nonsense licensing model. We do NOT charge for per-testing server or per-production server. Once you buy a license of FusionGadgets, you can host it on multiple servers, if all those servers are hosting the same website. We offer unlimited development servers, unlimited test servers and unlimited CPUs on a given server with each license of FusionGadgets.

Moreover, if you're using multiple technologies for the same application - like say, ASP for a few modules and PHP for a few modules, you can use FusionGadgets for both of them, without having to pay us anything additional. This saves you a lot on licensing cost and renders a generic look and feel to all the charts of your application.

Easy AJAX integration
FusionGadgets offers advanced charting options to easily integrate charts with AJAX or JavaScript modules. For example, you can change the chart's data at client-side itself without invoking any call to server. You can call JavaScript modules when user interacts with chart's hot-spots etc.
