Harvard Graphics ChartXL

Company / developer:
  Harvard Graphics

Harvard ChartXL 3.0 Creates Any Chart For Any Type of Data

Harvard ChartXL combines professional-level graphic and layout capabilities with advanced data organization and analysis tools to facilitate outstanding chart results, even for complex or large amounts of data. In addition to a made-over interface, Harvard ChartXL 3.0 combines the product's most important legacy features with new capabilities that bring it up to speed with current technologies and facilitate greater ease of use. A user may:

Select from Over 300 Business, Statistical and Technical Charts

Includes basic business layouts like Column, Line, and Gant, and sophisticated Box-Whiskers, Trajectories and Spectral Plots, neatly categorized as either business, statistical and technical. 2D and 3D effects can be applied to a chart with a single mouse click, while Harvard ChartXL's AutoFit technology allows a user to change styles instantly without modifying the underlying data.

Find the Best Chart for Your Data

Harvard ChartXL's "Advisor" explains the intended use for each of the 300 available charts. For example, click on "star chart" and the Advisor explains its general "usage" is for proportional comparisons. The Advisor then explains in detail how the chart's characteristics represent grouped values. A user may even edit the descriptions provided in the Advisor for customized instruction.

Manipulate Data in the Built-in Spreadsheet

In addition to supporting data input from outside spreadsheets, data may be entered directly into Harvard ChartXL's built-in spreadsheet application, designed to resemble popular spreadsheet programs for little or no learning curve. It comes complete with multiple workbooks, number, font and graphic formatting features.

View Data and Charts Simultaneously

Rather than flip-flopping between the program's spreadsheet and chart views, Harvard ChartXL provides a convenient split view option for simultaneous viewing.

Compute Trends, Averages and Interpolations with One Mouse Click

Harvard ChartXL's one-touch Business Statistics toolbar provides several icons for one-click computation of interpolations, as well as linear, exponential, polynomial, and cyclical trends, and moving averages, minimums, maximums, standard deviations and variances. The computation is displayed as a line on the chart, while the computed data is automatically placed in a separate spreadsheet.

Analyze Data with Powerful Analysis Tools

Select from one of the 69 predefined functions, define the cell range, and Harvard ChartXL quickly analyzes the formula. In addition to mainstream functions like "count" and "absolute value", Harvard ChartXL also provides "kronecker delta", "hyperbolic sine", and other functions suitable for the most eclectic analysis. Harvard ChartXL even provides a "Formula Visualizer" to aid in the creation and evaluation of equations for creating sophisticated curve and surface charts.

Create Layers of Data

With the simple "Add Data" command, data from different spreadsheets may be added to a single chart, with automatic links to update the chart if changes to the spreadsheet data occur. For example, one chart can simultaneously depict two different sets of data, the results layered as a bar and line chart.

Correct Data Entry Confusion with the Range Highlighter

The "Range Highlighter" selects the cell range in a spreadsheet where particular data should be entered. For example, a user wants to create a bubble chart, but is unsure which cells designate the "area value" in the spreadsheet. By selecting "area value" on the Range Highlighter, the relevant cell range will be both highlighted and defined for instant location.

Visually Locate Your Data

With Harvard ChartXL's "Data Cursor", a user may select a data point on a chart and, depending on the chart type, view the value of the data point, type a new value, or drag the data point to a new location.
For example, a user has created a line chart, but a peak in the curve looks peculiarly elevated. Rather than scan the spreadsheet to find and double check the corresponding data, the user may simply mouse click the peak with the Data Cursor and the data value will appear in the "Data View". The spreadsheet cell for the data will automatically highlight for convenient tracking.

(NEW) Apply Professional-looking Color Schemes in Seconds

Harvard ChartXL now offers a complete palette of preset color schemes in a preview menu for rapid, interchangeable application to charts, graphic and text objects, as well as page backgrounds. For hurried business pros, the new color schemes are an invaluable time saver, ensuring professional-looking presentation results in seconds.

Create Any Chart Design with Advanced Graphic Support

Harvard ChartXL's comprehensive graphic support provides optimal control over chart design, and superior chart results. For example, the number and style of axes, the color, format and option to hide chart elements like tick marks, and the font style and look are among the chart characteristics entirely under user control. A user may also customize solid, gradient, and patterned fills, or even import bitmaps as a chart background. A chart may be exactly positioned on a work page using the layout grid and move controls, while a preview screen shows a chart in color or black and white to illustrate how it will look outputted via a particular type of printer. After creating the ideal chart, simply save the template for future projects.

Apply Different Perspectives with the Rotation, Scale and Perspective Tools

Harvard ChartXL offers easy to use tools for changing the vertical, horizontal and spin rotation--full screen--of a chart, as well as its scale and depth perspective. The result is superior graphical impact than provided by standard spreadsheet and presentation programs.

(NEW) Import and Export Both Data and Charts

Harvard ChartXL's import capabilities have been enhanced to support most spreadsheet programs, including Microsoft Excel 95 and 98, and most versions of Lotus, in addition to Data, Text and DIF files. Links may even be established by the user between a ChartXL chart and its supporting, outside spreadsheet program for automatic updates to chart data. Additionally, Harvard ChartXL supports several new graphic file formats for chart export, including GIF, JPEG, Metafile, and PNG.

Drag and Drop into Outside Programs

Charts may be quickly dragged and dropped into any standard presentation, desktop publishing, word processing or spreadsheet program.

Visual FoxPro

Company / developer:
  Microsoft Corporation

Visual FoxPro

Visual FoxPro is a data-centric object-oriented and procedural programming language by Microsoft. It is derived from FoxPro (originally known as FoxBASE) which was developed by Fox Software beginning in 1984; Fox Software merged with Microsoft in 1992 and the software acquired further features and the prefix "Visual". The last version of FoxPro (2.6) worked under the Mac OS, DOS, Windows, and Unix: Visual FoxPro 3.0, the first "Visual" version, dropped the platform support to only Mac and Windows, and later versions were Windows-only.

Visual FoxPro, also known as VFP, is mainly used to write desktop database applications running on Windows but it can also be used to write fat client, middleware, and web applications.

In late 2002, it was demonstrated that Visual FoxPro can run on Linux under the Windows emulator Wine. In 2003, this led to complaints by Microsoft: it was claimed that the deployment of FoxPro code on non-Windows machines violates the End User License Agreement.

Rumors suggesting that Microsoft intends to end support for FoxPro have been common since Microsoft's acquisition of the product, despite the product having one of the longest support timeframes for a Microsoft product (extended support until 2014). VFP 9 was released to manufacturing on December 17, 2004, and the Fox team is currently working on a project codenamed Sedna which will be built on top of the VFP9 codebase.
