Why should you use RCCS over TeeChart?

    Quite honestly, TeeChart Pro is more powerful (more chart types).  The problems with TeeChart are:

  1. TeeChart Pro version is more expensive and you pay for each upgrade.  RCCS is a one-time fee for commercial use (free upgrades) or free otherwise.
  2. Distributing components that use TeeChart can be painful because a) compiling with Delphi TeeChart caused problems for TeeChart Pro owners, b) there was no VCL.NET version for people who hadn't bought TeeChart, and c) you couldn't give your users the source.  RCCS has none of these problems.
  3. TeeChart has, in our opinion, a confusing and error-prone design (and this was especially a problem if you didn't have the source).  This is not necessarily entirely Steema's fault because they designed TeeChart so long ago (probably before they knew component design very well) and now they are stuck with it for backwards compatibility.  But it is something to deal with.  The initial learning curve for run-time manipulation of TeeChart was no fun :-)

    For most people, TeeChart will be just fine.  We are not trying to make money on the RCCS.  It was designed for our needs and we beefed it up to be useful for others.  We only want a small one-time licensing fee (or code contribution) if someone is going to make money using the RCCS.  On the other hand, the RCCS contains some more subtle improvements over TeeChart such as multiple shapes per shape chart, images in point charts, etc.  It is also ridiculously easy to create new chart types (series in TeeChart-Speak) with RCCS.  We will be improving the suite, but we are hoping (and prefer) that users contribute and help RCCS grow for everyone.
