Causeway has been doing vector graphics since 1992, and now at last the internet is catching up! There are two excellent alternatives which you can choose as alternatives to rendering your charts as images:

• VML (Vector Markup Language) is well-supported by IE5/IE6 and allows any chart you build with RainPro to be displayed rapidly and accurately by the browser. Charts shown as VML also print at very high quality directly from the browser.
• SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a superset of VML which is now a ratified W3C standard. To view charts in SVG format you will need to download a free viewer from Adobe but this runs in most browsers under Windows and Mac operating systems, or you could use Firefox which has good SVG support in the browser.

Please turn to Demos, VML graphics to see a collection of sample charts saved as in-line VML. To compare VML and SVG, please refer to the examples generated with our GraPL product at www.grapl.com where you can see examples of the same chart made as a PNG image as well as being generated in both the vector formats.
