The Z Systems ActiveX (ZAX) graphs and plots have set a new standard by which others must follow. The standard is based on two main principals, power and ease of use. ZAX is a package of very powerful graphs and plots that have been individually contained within ActiveX/COM interfaces. Each control can operate as a stand along component in a simple container or as part of a large interactive application. Within 5 min anybody can embed and begin using any one of the complex graphs in their applications. The controls have been tested using up to 10 million data points! They also have built in menu driven properties and features.
