I'm looking for a decent charting library to u开发者_如何学JAVAse with Delphi 2010.

We dont want to require additional framework be installed on client PCs, so would like to avoid toolkits that use .Net, Java or Flash.

The chart types we need are pretty straight forward (2D and 3D pie/donut, bar, line), but the customer wants to have attractive charts with translucency, rounded edges, etc. Similar to what's available from Dundas Charts.

TeeChart seems like a natural choice and we looked at TMS Advanced Charts, but they don't support the appearance the customer is asking for.

TeeChart is excellent, but you must read the documentation. At least initially, I found it somewhat non-intuitive, contrary to the experience of M Schenkel. The documentation is good and extensive, as TeeChart has been around a while. For customization, TChart exposes OnBeforeDrawChart and OnAfterDraw, and so Windows GDI methods can be use to modify the appearance. TChart can also do certain extended chart types, including a donut.

I have used both TeeChart and TMS Charts. Both can be used without any additional deployments (i.e. ActiveX, dlls). I tend to use TeeCharts more; it is a bit more "seasoned" product and a little more intuitive.

The Jedi library offers a pretty decent charting / graph component,

it's very understandable and offers pretty much of customizing
