Your software seems very complex, can I use it simply to begin with and then use more features later?

Yes, this is very easy to do. The software is designed to be simple to use, but it can be integrated into very sophisticated applications. There are a number of reasons why you should choose our software:

  • Firstly, although you may not want to use all the features of a component, there is one small DLL file (about 300k in size) that you distribute with your application. So this means that your end users will never receive all of the software package you purchase from us.
  • You can start off creating applications as simple as you like - the methods usually only take one call to the object to access the desired functionality.Then later, you can change, improve of add functionality to your application.

    What we provide enables you to develop as simple or as complex application as you wish to. You can start off very small and then increase the complexity. For example, you can create a tiny VB 6 application that is just a simple dialog box and a few lines of code, yet it computes very complex mathematical functions from some input data. So yes, it is possible to create a simple application - just call the function or functions that you need. The rest of the functionality doesn't need to be used.
  • You could write the code yourself - however this is not at all simple or straightforward. While some algorithms may seem simple to implement, you should consider these other issues that will occur sooner or later:

    What types of algorithm do you wish to implement? The simplest algorithms available are not always the best to use. Do you know which is the best algorithm to use? Do you know the speed and accuracy of the algorithm that you are planning to use or what the differences are between the different implementations?

    Will you at some point now or later, also want to do more than the functions you are specifically interested in now?

    Are you going to be able to easily maintain the software in the future? Will you be able to add new functions to the software easily or will it take days of your time to dig up the old code and determine how to do it?

    Testing - once the code is written it should be comprehensively tested against real data. Are you able to do this quickly or will it take a lot more time that you haven't budgeted for?

In summary, the process of writing complex mathematical software is demanding due to the complexity of the algorithms. This is your choice, but our software has been chosen by many people to handle their requirements - all the testing has been done.
