Chartz - easily create beautiful charts
The main Chartz windows
- shown on the left are the three multi-tabbed editor palettes, able to control all aspects of chart design. Mote than 20 color themes, each with 14 harmonious colors, are available.
- the main window, which holds the chart, is resizeable. The chart margins can be adjusted with two controls each on the top and left chart edges. The chart legend, title and additional text annotations can be dragged into position with the mouse.
- The data window allows for easy data entry. Initially the chart contains random data; data is then added on a cell by cell basis, or by copying and pasting from other sources. A simple spreadsheet is also provided.
- finally, the export window is used to save the chart to any of 10 image formats. Prior to saving the image chart can be optionally resized and smoothed.
