ChartForgeX - Dependency-Free Chart Rendering for .NET

ChartForgeX renders polished charts, visual blocks, topology diagrams, and static report visuals from .NET without adding runtime chart dependencies to generated output.

The core package renders SVG, script-free static HTML, PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP, PPM, and TIFF. Optional browser behavior lives in adapter packages, so generated reports can stay static while dashboard hosts can opt into tooltips, selection, zoom, pan, synchronized charts, and export controls.

Install

dotnet add package ChartForgeX

ChartForgeX targets net472, netstandard2.0, net8.0, and net10.0. The core package has no runtime package dependencies.

Package Purpose
ChartForgeX Static SVG, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP, PPM, and TIFF rendering.
ChartForgeX.Interactivity Host-neutral interaction contracts.
ChartForgeX.Interactivity.Html Self-contained chart and topology interaction adapter, including interactive topology pages, the stencil browser, and the graph explorer with SVG, Canvas, WebGL, hierarchy navigation, compact large-scene documents, and runtime patches.

Visual Tour

These previews are generated by ChartForgeX.Examples and checked into the public repository. HTML links open through the Evotec preview service so the generated pages render directly.

Dashboard composition Topology and geography
Restaurant operations dashboard generated by ChartForgeX Geographic topology map generated by ChartForgeX
HTML / SVG / PNG HTML / SVG / PNG
Operational dashboard grids Report-ready small multiples
SaaS MRR dashboard grid generated by ChartForgeX Control scorecard small multiples generated by ChartForgeX
HTML / SVG / PNG HTML / SVG / PNG

More generated output is available in the GitHub gallery artifacts and on the project site.

Quick Start

using ChartForgeX;
using ChartForgeX.Core;
using ChartForgeX.Primitives;
using ChartForgeX.Themes;
using System.Linq;

var chart = Chart.Create()
    .WithTitle("Domain Security Checks")
    .WithSubtitle("Dependency-free SVG, HTML, and PNG chart rendering")
    .WithXAxis("Run")
    .WithYAxis("Checks")
    .WithTheme(ChartTheme.ReportDark())
    .WithSize(1180, 640)
    .WithXLabels("Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun")
    .AddSmoothArea("Passed", Points(820, 940, 980, 1040, 1120, 1180, 1230))
    .AddSmoothLine("Warnings", Points(120, 138, 132, 110, 98, 86, 72), ChartColor.FromRgb(251, 191, 36));

chart.SaveSvg("domain-security.svg");
chart.SavePng("domain-security.png");
chart.SaveHtml("domain-security.html");

static ChartPoint[] Points(params double[] values) =>
    values.Select((value, index) => new ChartPoint(index, value)).ToArray();

Typed Data and Scales

Hosts keep their own records and map them directly into native charts. ChartDataset<T> provides immutable filter, sort, projection, grouping, summary, and numeric-bin operations without introducing a second chart-definition API.

using ChartForgeX.Core;
using ChartForgeX.Data;

var samples = ChartDataset<Sample>.From(new[] {
    new Sample(1, 32),
    new Sample(2, 48),
    new Sample(3, 61)
});

var chart = Chart.Create()
    .WithTitle("CPU")
    .WithYAxis("Percent")
    .ConfigureYAxis(axis => axis.WithBounds(0, 100))
    .AddLine("CPU", samples, sample => sample.Index, sample => sample.Value);

chart.SavePng("cpu.png");
chart.SaveSvg("cpu.svg");

record Sample(double Index, double Value);

ChartAxis centralizes bounds, ticks, labels, and Linear, Logarithmic, SymmetricLogarithmic, or Time scaling. Direct helpers such as ChartPoints.FromValues(...) remain available for small inline datasets.

Output API

Need Use
SVG markup chart.ToSvg() or chart.SaveSvg("chart.svg")
Static HTML chart.ToHtmlFragment(), chart.ToHtmlPage(), or chart.SaveHtml("chart.html")
Interactive topology HTML topology.ToInteractiveHtmlFragment(), topology.ToInteractiveHtmlPage(), or topology.SaveInteractiveHtml("topology.html") from ChartForgeX.Interactivity.Html
Interactive relationship graph graph.ToGraphExplorerHtmlFragment(), graph.ToGraphExplorerHtmlPage(), premium system/light/dark themes, accessible keyboard navigation, SVG/Canvas/WebGL backends, worker physics, direct hierarchy navigation, static stage images, and GraphScenePatch
PNG bytes/file chart.ToPng() or chart.SavePng("chart.png")
GIF, JPEG, and raster file output chart.Save("chart.gif"), chart.Save("chart.jpg", rasterOptions), chart.SaveRasterImage("chart.tiff"), or ImageComposition.FromFile("wallpaper.jpg").Save("wallpaper-output.gif")
Reusable image composition ImageComposition.TryFromBytes(bytes, out var composition), composition.StrokeRectangle(...), composition.DrawCallout(...), composition.Write(stream, RasterImageFormat.Png), or composition.Save(path, RasterImageFormat.Gif)
Extension-inferred file output chart.Save("chart.svg"), chart.Save("chart.html"), chart.Save("chart.png"), chart.Save("chart.gif"), chart.Save("chart.jpg"), chart.Save("chart.tiff")

RasterImageOptions controls JPEG quality, PNG compression level, and the flattening background for opaque formats.
