VVI^® today announced the version 8.5.8 update to its Vvidget^™ graphing system. Ed Van Vliet, CEO of VVI, made this statement:

"Vvidget is the premier graphing system for Mac OS X and implements many advanced and unique features not available in other systems. Vvidget Pro is used to make unparalleled real-time enterprise-level visualization, process control and analysis systems. Vvidget Builder is used to layout graphs with point-and-click methods. Vvidget Palette is used to drag-and-drop graphs into developer's custom applications, and the Peer Visual Server is used by corporate developers to generate dynamic graphs and reports for print and web media. Our real-time network package is used on Windows, Mac OS X, or any flavor of Unix or Linux to gather data for display, analysis and real-time account, process or instrument control.

The newest version implements semi-log and log-log graphs, both full-cycle and sub-cycle formats. We've also added five wizards within Vvidget Builder as another entry point into making graphs and charts. Users can now enter data and click a button to see the graph. They can then place it on a Vvidget Builder document to gain access to the full amount of formatting options in order to tune the graph. The emphasis is to provide multiple ways to make graphs, some quick and data focused, some meticulous and graphic oriented and others that are developer oriented or business oriented in order to satisfy diverse customer needs.

Number input entry formatting is improved for wide dynamic range and resolution. That is especially important for log and date scales where the ranges can be large, for example from microseconds to years. The palette and preconfigured Peer Visual Server input options are updated to accept UTF8 encoded text. Exponential notation now formats with superscripts.

Many of these features are straight forward, but to gain full access to the features we backup our software and customers with support, training and contracting. That combination of powerful tools and support is a win-win situation."
