Installation

ecGraph3D is normally supplied as an executable file named ecGraph3D-Setup.exe, or a zip file named ecGraph3D.zip. There may be minor variations on these names, such as inclusion of version numbers.  The installation files include demos in Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6).  The demos will be accessible from the Windows "Start|All Programs" menu.

• If you downloaded an exe file named ecGraph3D-Setup.exe or similar..
  • Double-click the exe file to run the installation program.
• If you downloaded a zip file named ecGraph3D.zip or similar..
  • Copy the zip file to a folder on your hard disk.
  • Unzip it to create the setup file ecGraph3D-Setup.exe (or similar).
  • Double-click the exe file to run the installation program.
• Once you have completed the installation you should be able to access the demo Projects, the Help file, and the Uninstall program from the Windows Start menu in the folder you specified during installation (the default folder is named ecGraph3D) 
• VB6: To start using the ecGraph3D demos, from Windows click Start|All programs|ecGraph3D, and select from the following..
  • Run the Visual Basic demo project "Project1-Viewer.vbp" (simple project to view the demo graphs)
  • Run the Visual Basic demo project "Project2-EditGraphs.vbp" (more complex project, shows how to use most of the features of ecGraph3D)

Note that ecGraph3D is normally supplied as a demo version, which is fully functional but prints a small "Demo" message on each graph. You can convert this to a registered version by obtaining a registration key and using it with the RegisterecGraph3D command for each ecGraph3D instance in your application. Visit www.encoreconsulting.com.au to obtain a registration key. Each developer who uses ecGraph3D to write programs must purchase a separate registration key.  There are no run-time or royalty licenses required for distributing your compiled programs (end-users who use the compiled programs do not need a registration key).
