FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
THREE D GRAPHICS TO LICENSE PRESENTATION-QUALITY GRAPH &
CHARTING ENGINES FOR MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
Pacific Palisades, CA.....Three D Graphics is making
available presentation-quality 3D and 2D graph and charting engines
for bundling under Windows 3.0, OS/2 Presentation Manager and
Macintosh. Code is written in the form of a number of engines that
can be grouped together to meet practically any need in a quick,
efficient and easy-to-accomplish manner.
"Virtually no application will fail to benefit from an
appropriately configured graphics kernel," notes Elmer Easton,
president of Three D Graphics. "Users are demanding presentaion
quality. It is much more cost-efficient to license the technology
from a specialist, than to develop it in-house."
The engines are complete and available now, written in
transportable C which interface via fully-documented function calls.
They offer the following capabilities:
- Three-dimensional bar, ribbon, scatter, blanket, contour,
surface and pyramid charts -- true perspective distortion, 360-degree
rotation, axis resize and zoom in and out
- Two-dimensional and three-dimensional Pie, Pie-bar and
Ring-Pie Charts
- Two-dimensional Bar, Line and Area Charts
- Two-dimensional Hi-Lo, Histogram, Countour and Scatter
Graphs
- Table Charts and Text Charts
- Multi-faceted curve fit, log and semi-log, dual-Y and
bipolar
- Annotation -- full primitives, grouping, hot-link and
alignment
- Special Effects -- washes, blends, bit-maps
- Slide Show with slide arrange, multiple effects and speaker
notes
All of the engines have standard interfaces and a rich
collection of common utilities that make working with them a
pleasure.
Wide Ranging Applications
Among the applications that will benefit from these engines
are: database managers; spreadsheets; accounting systems; business
planning systems; word processors; desktop publishers; as well as
programs dealing with engineering and statistical analysis, job
performance, time and schedule management, insurance and actuarial
plans.
"Key to the whole plan," says Easton, "is the fact that these
engines will integrate seamlessly with whatever program they are
mated. License fees are reasonable and arrangements are flexible."
Three D Graphics is a developer and licensor of data-driven
graphics software for personal computers under several operating
systems. The company offers advanced graphics software for
stand-alone sale as well as bundling. The award-winning Perspective
package is the first graphics system to offer mainframe-quality
graphics for the IBM PC and compatibles. The Perspective look has
become a defacto standard for three-dimensional PC graphics.
