Tens of thousands of Mac users have downloaded Vvidget, making it one of the most popular point-and-click graphing solutions for Mac OS X. That same software is used to automate graphs for desktop applications, dashboard widgets and web sites. Vvidget has been used for years by Mac independent software vendors, corporate developers and technical professionals because it is easy to use, integrates seamlessly with the application development tools provided with Mac OS X, is widely available with free download of the base system and can be combined and redistributed with developer's own applications.
