TeeChart AX is Steema’s ActiveX charting component designed for developers building data‑driven desktop applications on Windows. It delivers a wide range of 2D and 3D chart types, statistical and mathematical functions, and interactive visualization tools that help developers create dashboards, scientific applications, financial charting interfaces, engineering tools, and business intelligence components. As an ActiveX control, TeeChart AX works with a broad range of Windows development environments such as Visual Studio, Visual Basic, Delphi, and scripting languages that support COM/ActiveX integration. The library includes numerous chart styles, high‑performance rendering, advanced customization features, export options, and interactive behaviors. TeeChart AX is designed for long-term reliability and backward compatibility, making it suitable for Windows applications that must remain stable across versions and platforms.
