Flex 3 : Contour Plot Chart

[martinjdonaghy]

Hi,

I have been tasked with a project where a contour plot chart is required like the one attached below. Does anyone know how this coould be done in Flex or are there any third-party components available to do this?

Thanks very much for you help.

No replies. Would this be better done as a Java component and then called by Flex?

The ILOG Elixir has a heatmap component that may be of use. It can be used in conjunction with other flex components such as a cartesian chart. Does anyone have experience in using this?

It can't be done natively, but you can accomplish it with third-party components. The interal charting tools in Flex are pretty basic, but there are several alternatives available for more advanced charting.

Do you know where I could get these third party tools?

Have you tried the ILOG Elixir one you posted previously?

Another good one is:

And then there's always this:

Those components only had a heatmap which wasn't really what I needed. I have since started looking at ChartDirector from http://www.advsofteng.com/. What I have had to do is have JSP/Java create a chart which Flex can call up in a popup window.

Has anyone ever implemented charting using ChartDirector? It costs $700 for a licences. Are there any similiar open-source products out there?

Thanks,
Martin
