The World's Fastest .NET WPF, WinForms, and MFC C++ Charting Components. GPU compute shader accelerated. AI-assisted development. Intelligent rendering. Mission-critical quality since 1993.
Founded in 1993, Gigasoft has concentrated exclusively on charting for over 30 years — scientific, engineering, and financial data visualization at a mission-critical level. Prioritizing stability, speed, and rendering intelligence. Fast expert support. No hassle evaluation download.
ProEssentials is architecturally different from every competitor — a native Win32 DLL charting engine with two complete API layers: a hierarchical .NET property interface for WPF and WinForms, and a standard C/C++ DLL API for MFC, Delphi, ActiveX, and any language with DLL FFI capability. Both APIs access the same rendering engine, the same GPU compute shaders, and the same 1,200+ chart properties.
ProEssentials v10 includes a purpose-built AI Code Assistant that transforms how you implement charts. The pe_query.py tool gives AI assistants on-demand access to the complete ProEssentials API — 1,200+ properties, 167 enumerations, and 116 working code examples — with a built-in validation layer that cross-checks every property path against DLL ground truth, eliminating the hallucinated code that plagues generic AI coding.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor. Included free with every ProEssentials v10 license.
