History

Advanced Software Engineering Ltd began in 1995 as a software contractor for network management applications, which contained a lot of charts. In 2001, the company decided to package its charting routines into a software library and market it as ChartDirector. Initially a C++ component, ChartDirector has since then been ported to many programming languages and operating systems.[3]
