AnyChart is a US based graphics software development company that claims to provide more than 70% of Fortune 1000 companies with cross-platform interactive data visualization solutions such as JavaScript (HTML5) charting libraries AnyChart, AnyStock, AnyMap, and AnyGantt.

History

AnyChart was founded in 2003. At first, the company used to provide Flash-based solutions for the creation of animated charts and maps. With the increasing popularity of iOS devices that did not support Flash, AnyChart began to shift to HTML5 and in 2011 added an HTML5 (SVG based) version of its components.

In 2014, AnyChart said they were "leaving behind Flash and moving to a more modern and promising technology, JavaScript HTML5", and then released the seventh version of their charting solutions AnyChart, AnyStock, AnyMap, and AnyGantt, now described as JavaScript charting libraries.

Products

Nowadays, the company offers four main products that are flexible, cross-platform and cross-browser JS/HTML5 charting libraries supporting interactivity, real-time updates, and multi-level drill-downs.

  • AnyChart supports bar, line, area, scatter, waterfall, spline, funnel, bubble, polar, column, columnrange, pie, box plot, angular gauge, areasplinerange, and other types of charts.
  • AnyStock is designed to build real-time data streaming charts for stock and financial graphs as well as client reporting and performance reporting applications. It is supposed to render more than 250,000 data points in less than one second on average PCs, whereas the data stream can append 10,000 data points every 100 ms.
  • AnyMap is a JavaScript (HTML5) Mapping library to make interactive maps displaying sales by region, election results, population density, and other geo-related data.
