The main idea of Chat ModelKit is to provide developers with the ability to create charts according to user requirements without challenging any special knowledge and high qualification. The product includes components allowing displaying and managing charts. Chart is a compound object, having hierarchical tree-type structure. The whole chart consists of separate simple elements. Such decomposition provides the ability to create charts of different types, due to variety of elements combinations. Setting of elements’ properties, behavior and appearance is intuitive and easy due to the true WYZIWIG designer.
