Powerful Business Graphics in VisualAge With WidgetKit/Business Graphics

San Jose, CA, January 12, 1995 - Objectshare Systems, Inc. announces
WidgetKit/Business Graphics for VisualAge, the first product that enables
programmers to add high-powered charts and graphs to their VisualAge
applications. WidgetKit/Business Graphics provides over 60 types of 2- and
3-D charts. The principal graph types are bar, pie, area, line, spectral,
high-low-close, log-linear, polar, scatter, tape, and table graphs. Each
has all the chart elements; main titles, axis titles, grids, legends, data
symbols and so on.

WidgetKit/Business Graphics has metafile, save, load, and printing
capability for all charts via the public interface of the graph parts.
Appropriate charts have autoscaling if desired. Programmers can control
fonts, color, fill patterns, line styles, scaling, identifying symbols,
scroll bars, and more at development or run time. Every aspect of the
graph can be individually controlled. Templates and examples make the
graphs easy to use. Special effects include gradient fills, drop shadows,
pictograms, and more. The 3-D charts are true 3-D, with 360 degree
rotation. Other specialized features include statistical and curve fitting
functions. WidgetKit/Business Graphics is fully integrated with VisualAge.
The graphs are accessible from the Composition Editor tool palette.
WidgetKit/Business Graphics for VisualAge uses the proven Presentation
Graphics SDK, also used in Corel Chart, Macromedia Action and others. It
also has Smalltalk classes that integrate all the controls into the IBM
Smalltalk class library, and Smalltalk classes that allow all the controls
to be placed and edited interactively with the VisualAge Composition
Editor.

WidgetKit/Business Graphics for VisualAge is available for VisualAge
standard and Team versions, for OS/2 and Windows. It provides complete
portability of the controls between OS/2 and Windows. The Team versions
come with Smalltalk source code for the public classes. WidgetKit/Business
Graphics for VisualAge is provided in .APP modules for VisualAge standard
and .DAT export library format for VisualAge Team. There are no royalties
for distribution of end-user applications. WidgetKit/Business Graphics
also includes complete documentation, hypertext help, and ninety days of
free technical support from Smalltalk experts at OSI by telephone, fax,
and CompuServe. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

WidgetKit/Business Graphics for VisualAge costs $495 for VisualAge standard
and $795 for VisualAge Team. They are available for immediate shipment.
