I have downloaded a Flex Wheather Widget done by Pallav Nadhani using Fusioncharts for Flex. It is the best weather widget I could find and I did search for hours on the Web. This widget is working perfectly on my PC but not on the Web. It does not load the the weather data nor the widgets see: http://www.saheliway.com/WeatherWidget.html. I really am interested in this product but would first see that I can make it work on my website as this product does not come cheap! Otherwise awsome !!!

Stig Christian

FusionCharts are great! I would love a license!
Santiago

Professional presentation at my university and awesome improvement showing work!
Pilu

I love FusionCharts! I’m using FusionCharts Free for a while with php and it’s great. I’ve tested a lot of other flashchart solutions but FusionCharts is the first running without problems.

One Improvement could be a easier access to database-query-results for direct output as a chart.
FuZZ

This is NEAT!

Json support would be nice feature to have…
Festő

Hy.
It is easy to use and integrate.I have lots of possibility.

improvement: It should include other countries languages in maps… (Europe)
Or easy to improve/replace it… (Region names…)
Ray Cheung

FusionCharts are pretty overwhelmed with the insights they have got from your valuable comments. Now, they would love to give out 5 Professional Licenses instead of the 3 we had earlier announced!
Julie M

thank you for the opportunity to win… a feature that would pretty much make my boss wet himself would be a right click export to PowerPoint option that pastes it in as an editable PowerPoint chart object vs save as jpeg, png or pdf
http://www.fedmich.com/life/ fedmich

Loved this charting tool.
have been using it on a lot of client’s websites before.
some clients even bought licenses too

my suggestion is for them to have a quick generator interface which can import data from csv or muti-line text files and then generate the charts.

FC Rocks!
steven

It’s a great software! If the chart type, content data, and display format could be changed dynamically on client side (BI based). Or maybe drag and drop features, combining two charts into one….

It would be the coolest chart ever.
Julie M

please note that in my comment above, I meant to say “in addition to” not “vs” i.e., one or the other. I definitely think the save as jpeg, png, pdf is a nice feature.
Ivelin Salabashev

It is most beautiful among other flash charts and have lots of chart types.
http://www.necesitomas.com paco

amazing.
my suggested improvement is related to fusion maps; I think it would be very useful the ability to create custom maps overlaid to an image (yes, I know you offer this as an additional service, but…)

congratulations from Spain

i have been using FC for around 3 yrs and i am still loving it. however, one improvement that i would like to propose is as follows:
create a backend tool which will act as a bridge between FC and database. the user will have to select two columns from database tables that will act as values of X-axis and Y-axis. FC should generate the chart automatically using the data in those selected table columns.

i have another suggestion – create a sort of config.xml file using which we can control global settings for ALL charts including db username and password.

keep up the good work:)

I have used it for customer projects in teh past. Great lib of charts and easy to integrate via direct data, xml or dynamic calls. Cheers

For me FusionCharts has nice, stylish flash charts and it’s easy to use.
Bryan M

I love the flexibility, and many ways to visualize data that fusioncharts provides. More and more businesses are beginning to understand the importance of data and analytics from websites and webapps. The only thing I can think of to improve the product would be to continue to add more chart styles to the already robust selection.

I would LOVE to win a license so that I can implement fusioncharts into my designs!
Sanj

simple, easy to and customisable – what do you need?

@Sanket Nadhani (FusionCharts Team)

Thanks for your help in clearing a few of the qestions people are having, I must have missed theese sparklines and bullet graphs. I did play around with the bullet graph, looking at the parameters in the XML same goes here. I cannot seem to remove the labels and Y axis (I might have to download the documentation to verify this).

So while theese are close to what I am looking for, they still don’t fly very well as I am needin plain graphs without numbers at all. Just the trend line, no X or Y axis. If theese charts in V3, or V4 for that matter – can already do this I am suddenly that much more interestet in this product. Needles to say I was googling an hour or so last week looking for microcharting capabilities without any luck (that is, I found some 2005′ish libraries for PHP and PHPGD).

Thanks for pointing out theese examples though, they are pretty close to what I am looking for though. I expect the animation speed is also possible to tweak – as the bullet graphs was to much eye candyand to little informative when you launch a few of theese on screen (in my humble opinion, howeve I guess the point of this comp is to get opinions, It’s like transitions in TV, you don’t use 5 seconds to switch from 1 scene to another – you chosse a 1 sec transition – quick – nice – does the job.

thank for sharing good give way i just got it.
Andrew C

I have always wanted this, just never enough money to get it.

Love: ease of use
Improvement: us/world maps with geo location plotting

fingers crossed!

There is no doubt that FusionCharts is the best flash charting solution provider however there is one feature that is must have to call it a perfect flash charting & graphing application and that feature is ‘auto-resize’ facility. Fusion charts do not auto-resize according to the container. They required fixed width and height in pixels. I’d appreciate if they can implement width=”100%” so that chart’s width automatically resize to the container.

I really like Fusion charts because it’s really easy to work with, we can configure it and make a chart live in a few minutes.

The thing I would suggest to improve is a more flexible way to configure drill downs so I we can use it with some data warehouses implementations.
Matthew A

Ive been using FusionCharts with Coldfusion for a few months now. Been developing Custom Tags to use to help make using FusionCharts even easier to use, even though they make it pretty darn easy already.

I would like to see better option to display as an image (PNG, JPG, etc) instead of flash. They have export options, but it just seems like it could be made a little easier.
MiloSz

FusionCharts are great. It’s a nice piece of work and many innovations. Biggest problem is the price/licence. On about 5-6 my private websites could be nice to use a few charts using FusionCharts, but… So you can improve price/licence. Maybe some separate licence for non business websites?
Gary Brown

A very fine product. Needs more advertisement.
http://www.fusioncharts.com Sanket Nadhani (FusionCharts team)

@Kamran Arasteh – It is easy to integrate We also have a tool for making simple charts that you can check out at: http://www.fusioncharts.com/Demos/GUI/Index.html

@Julie: We have come out with an add-in for PowerPoint called oomfo using which you can create the charts in PowerPoint using a simple GUI. You can check it out at http://oomfo.com

@fedmich: We do have one at http://www.fusioncharts.com/Demos/GUI/Index.html

@steven: You can do that using Javascript. An example you might like: http://www.fusioncharts.com/Demos/JS/Index.html

@sourabh: Thanks for the great ideas. I will surely talk them out with the dev team.

@Bryan: Do you mean more chart types or more customization options?

@Kim Steinhaug: I would be happy do discuss this further with you. Why don’t you send me a mail at sanket[at]fusioncharts[dot]com?

@Federico: What specifically are you looking for?

@Matthew: Yes we are looking into that.

@Gary: Thanks for lettin us know that. Probably we should do more contests like this

Would there be a javascript/canvas fallback, it would be possible to use FusionCharts when targetting iPhone and iPad users who don’t have Flash. I think it’s becoming more and more important now that so much people use their iPhone to browse the web. It would also help for Linux or Mac users whose Flash plugin doesn’t work as well as on Windows.
Jan

Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for FC, there is no html5/canvas chart framework with these level of features on the market right now. You should think about it
http://psychologue.pro 0livier

What I Love : If you buy the enterprise version, you get the source. Opensource FTW !

Improvement / feature I’d like : FC and ExtJS playing together. ExtJS got some charts [1], but I’m not very happy with them (even if ExtJS is a great library). Since there’s already a data->chart infrastructure [2], you could add your charts (creating your own ‘xtype’) so it will supplant the default ones easily.

[2] http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/chart/pie-chart.js

Displaying Complex Data in an easy and intuitive way has never been easier as FusionCharts Free is available. I really like to use it every day.

But one issue i’m missing the most: Printing HTML with FusionCharts.

Hopefully this feature will be added soon, because this is the “One and Only” limitation I know.
