Nulana LTD says NChart3D 1.5, their charting framework for iOS, is now available for Mac OS X (10.7 and higher). It allows developers to make data visualizations in Mac OS X applications.
NChart3D uses hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES based graphics that allows for the rendering of large amounts of data with lighting effects while remaining responsive to user interactions. According to the folks at Nulana, it’s easy to use the framework inside the Objective-C Mac application, thanks to NChart3D Cocoa API. NChart3D 1.5 supports various different 2D and 3D chart types covering all the most popular analytical and scientific data visualization cases.
There are two versions of the NChart3D 1.5 for Mac OS X: Standard and Pro. The US$499 standard version is limited to two dimensions, but still enables data processing, animations, high visual quality, flexible axes, interactivity and advanced customizations to develop excellent applications. The $899 pro version sports 3D charts and real-time data updating. A demo is available for download at the Nulana web site (http://nchart3d.com/).
