Simplified Powerful Charting

The more you study this website's Getting Started and Documentation sections, the smoother your first implementation will proceed. We've designed this content so developers (and AI assistants) can easily find answers to most common charting tasks.

1: AI-Powered Technical Assistance

ProEssentials includes a Python query tool and structured JSON data files designed for AI-assisted development. We call this AI Tool-Augmented Dynamic Context. Rather than static context files, our pe_query.py script gives any AI assistant on-demand access to the full ProEssentials API — 1,104 properties, 1,260 methods, 167 enums, and 116 working code examples — with validation that prevents hallucinated property paths.

When configured with Claude Opus 4.6 Extended, this system can answer technical support questions and write ProEssentials code for your projects with remarkable accuracy.

2: Run Our PeDemo

The PeDemo executable optionally launches at the end of product installation. You'll also find GigaPrime2D and GigaPrime3D demos showcasing 3D surfaces, 2D contours, and line rendering — engineered for the fewest CPU/GPU cycles and the fastest rendering available.

The default example (030) demonstrates many features in a larger context, but most other examples focus on showing individual capabilities clearly.

 Export Feature: The demo includes functionality to automatically export and create a TestBed example project from any individual example — great for quick experimentation.

3: Browse the Source Code Examples

PeDemo is replicated in example project source code across multiple languages and frameworks. These examples are your best resource for copying working code, and they also support the export/create TestBed functionality.

4: Configure Your Project References

For .NET projects, we recommend using our local NuGet packages installed with the product. Even better: update your project file's Reference/Hintpath section to point directly to our .NET 8.0 assemblies.

5: Take Baby Steps

Don't immediately implement ProEssentials into your production project.

First, create the types of charts you need in a separate test project — possibly using random data. Once you've gained a few hours of experience, integrate into your main application.

This approach also means you'll have a minimal test project ready if you need to contact our support team for assistance.

6: Navigate the API Reference

There are two online ways to explore our API.
