Our own image-processing algorithm is used to produce superbly sharp screen images.

Auxological variables such as height, weight and puberty descriptors are fed directly to the component and are plotted in the chart automatically.

Each version of the component is supplied with the most often used charts. These are typically for height, weight, BMI, head circumference, height velocity, and premature birth. Population and disease specific varieties are available.

Included with the charting component is a calculation engine for deriving both plain values and population referenced transforms. These include SD (z) scores, target height by different methods, BMI and height velocity. All calculated variables can be viewed in clear tables.

The charts can be manipulated interactively.

Zoom the graph directly by selecting an area to magnify using the mouse. Right click in the chart to open a pop-up menu selection to zoom, copy the graph to the clipboard or print. Move the cursor over data point markers to see the exact values in a hint. These hints can also display alternative information assigned by the programmer during the integration process.

Charts can be copied to the clipboard and pasted into other programs such as MS PowerPoint and Word for articles and presentations.

When exporting charts to other programs the user can select from the commonly used file formats of JPEG, GIF, PNG, or EMF.

The chart component is an ActiveX control and has been integrated into applications written in C#, Java, VB.NET, VB, Delphi and others. It has also has been integrated in Windows and web applications.

PC PAL growth charts are created using our extensive internal library of population data sets. This means that any of these references can quickly be added to the growth chart templates you have selected.
