FusionWidgets XT (previously FusionGadgets & FusionCharts Instrumentation Suite) is a collection of real-time gauges and charts for use in dynamic web applications. It is a part of FusionCharts Suite, but works independently of other products in the suite.

FusionWidgets XT leverages JavaScript (HTML5) and Flash to create compact, interactive and visually-arresting gauges and charts. As it works with both XML and JSON data, it can be integrated with any server-side technology (ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, JSP, ColdFusion and Ruby on Rails etc.) and database. With FusionWidgets, you get a wide variety of gauges and charts including dial gauges, linear gauges, Gantt charts, funnel charts, sparklines and data-streaming column, line and area charts. You can integrate these controls with any web technology and database, and the implementation is a breeze.

FusionWidgets can be effectively used to develop instrument panels, executive dashboards, live "up-to-second" stock monitors, process monitoring applications and financial applications where KPI's and other critical data are monitored in real time. Perfectly suited for data visualization and analysis requirements, where KPI's (Key Performance Indicators) and other critical data is monitored in real time, FusionWidgets brings the combined experience of programmers and graphic visualizers to you in a set of extremely easy-to-use controls.

Gives your users a complete reporting experience
 

FusionWidgets comes packed with smart reporting capabilities like real-time charting, tooltips and interactive legends that give your users a complete reporting experience.

Works with all web technologies and databases
 

FusionWidgets works with ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, JSP, ColdFusion, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript and even simple HTML pages. It connects to any database (MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL) and web service to pull data from them as well.

JavaScript (HTML5) and Flash based
 

FusionWidgets renders gauges and charts using JavaScript (HTML5) and Flash, giving you the best of both worlds. As such, it is the leading enterprise-grade data visualization component that works seamlessly on PCs, Macs, iPads, iPhones and most other mobile devices.

Comprehensive range of charts enable the right analysis every time
 

FusionWidgets supports a variety of gauges and charts like dial charts, linear gauges, LEDs, cylinder gauge, thermometers, Gantt charts, funnel & pyramid charts, bullet graphs and sparklines. This ensures that your data always has the right face, and helps your users analyze it correctly every single time.

Plot live stocks, network and manufacturing data
 

Most of the charts in FusionWidgets support real-time updating capabilities. The charts update themselves at specified intervals by fetching new data, without invoking page refreshes. This makes live monitoring of stocks, network or manufacturing data highly easy and effective.

AJAX-enabled charts with extensive JavaScript API
 

All charts in FusionWidgets are tightly integrated with JavaScript. This allows client-side chart or attribute updates, listening to chart events, maintaining chart states and replicating it. Real-time charts can also pass on data to client-side JavaScript modules thereby enabling tight synchronization between your front-end and data model.

Reduces load on your servers
 

In traditional image based visualization systems, the gauges and charts are generated as images at server-side. So, for each gauge or chart, which 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 toll on the server.

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

Allows your users to export the charts as images, PDF and CSV
 

While charts are generated using Flash, they can be exported to JPG, PNG or PDF. The data can also be copied from the chart as CSV. This can be done either through user interaction or programmatically.

Industry-leading component trusted by Fortune 500 companies and the web’s most popular sites
