Previous release fixes. |

1.6.2.18 |
New Report Designer |
In this version you will be able to create editable reports that can be saved to different file formats such as .rtf (Rich Text File).

1.5.2.12 |
New ChartWizard |
The ChartWizard now allows you to automatically enter a sequence of date values. To do this, enter the start/end date and the date values can be incremented by a date, week or a month (see screen shot). This should be a real time saver for those who have large amounts of date stamped behavior data. The wizard was also updated to allow you to enter values for axis titles.
 |
| |
| 11/15/2005 |
1.5.1.1 |
Chart Default Settings |
You can now set default values for new charts. For example, you can specify the default font, determine if horizontal gridlines are shown, and phase line properties. More settings will be added later. To set default values, select the "Default Chart Settings" of the edit menu.
 |
| |
| 11/15/2005 |
1.5.1.1 |
Axis Offsets |
| The values for axis offsets are now calculated as a % of chart height instead of number of screen pixels. This makes the offset scale better as charts are resized. Important: If you open an existing file where axis offsets were used, you may have to readjust these values. |
| |
| 11/8/2005 |
1.4.8.22 |
Annotation Callout |
| Changed the default setting of the callout so that it is hidden by default. If you want to show the callout, click on the annotation and select "Edit Callout" from the toolbar or the popupmenu (if you right clicked). |

| |
| 9/13/2005 |
1.4.5.0 |
New BreakAllSeries Property |
Phasemarks can now break other line series. The image below shows a phasemark break both the square and the circle series. Note that this feature can be turned off by deselecting the "BreakAllSeriesLines" option - then the phasemark will only break the series that owns the phasemark.
 |
| |
| 9/12/2005 |

| |
| 5/16/2004 |
1.1.1.11 |
Gray Scale Support |
| Charts can now be shown in gray scale. Important: on a slower system, showing charts in a gray scale may significantly impair the application responsiveness. It is recommended that if you have to do a lot of editing and changes to a chart that you switch back to a color mode. |

1.1.1.9 |

| |
| 4/7/2004 |
1.0.0.99 |
Series Data Source Fix |
| When the Text part of a Series Value was a formatted number drawn from a cell on the spreadsheet, the axis label would discard the format and only show the number. After the fix, the axis label will display the same format as is used to format the cell in the spreadsheet. |
| |
| 4/7/2004 |
1.0.0.99 |
Printing |
| Printing was problematic on Windows versions prior to XP. This problem has been solved on those system, but with the limitation that the transparancy property will not be supported when it comes to printing (e.g. annotation transparancy, axis phasemark transparancy). For a workaround, these platforms can export their chart as an image (e.g. bitmap, jpeg. Note that the Metafile format does not support transparancy) and then import the image into another program (e.g. word) and print it from there. |
| |
| 4/5/2004 |
1.0.0.98 |
Point Symbol |
| The line series point symbol is now automatically resized when the chart is resized. |
| |
| 4/5/2004 |
1.0.0.98 |
Excel Compatibility |
| Improved capabilities of reading Excel files and charts (from the file menu, select open and then select Excel files from the file filter on Open File dialog box). However, when charts are stored in separate Excel sheets (vs embedded as objects in sheets), the source of the series values may point to an inaccurrate sheet.
If the sheet reference is incorrect after opening the file with ChartEXT, you can manually adjust the sheet reference for the data source. For information on how to do that, see the helpfile.
|
| |
| 4/4/2004 |
1.0.0.95 |
