Our Go libraries are graphical components that allow developers to quickly build graphical applications.

Go has been designed for high performance, ease of use and flexibility to meet a wide variety of requirements. You can easily customize Go just by setting properties on views, documents, and objects, or by providing event handlers for the controls.

Three Choices: Microsoft .NET, Java, or MFC

We offer three class libraries, one for Microsoft® .NET called GoDiagram for .NET, one for Java called JGo for Java and one for C++ / MFC called GO++.  Each is written to tightly integrate with and seamlessly extend their native environments.

GoDiagram for .NET is our latest product. GoDiagram for .NET, written entirely in managed code, has been designed and implemented from scratch to take full advantage of the many new features that .NET provides. Northwoods Software's GoDiagram is the first diagramming component in the market that is designed for .NET. It represents our company's mission to being the world leader in diagramming component software. GoDiagram for .NET is the latest in a line of diagramming class libraries from Northwoods Software.

JGo for Java follows the successful design of the MFC GO++ library. JGo is written completely in Java. It was designed for the Java 2 platform and supports the popular Java development environments, both Java2D / Swing and Eclipse™ / SWT.

GO++ for MFC lets C++ programmers easily create graphical objects and network or diagram editors.

Automatic Layout

Our optional Automatic Layout component will make your diagrams attractive and easy to read. (Available for all 3 Go packages.)

Instruments

Our optional Instruments component will let you incorporate meters and gauges into your diagrams. (Available for .NET and Java.)
