This is an outstanding utility program which should find favour in many educational and semi-business applications. Although its purpose is basically to turn numerical data into graphs, pie charts or histograms, this does not do justice to this immensely powerful piece of software.

Its initial use is greatly assisted by a booklet which explains the various words used in the program.

A large menu enables you to define the shape and size of the graph, its position on screen, colour or pattern of the blocks, etc.

Up to five separate graphs may be planned and instantly recalled, and a good number of datasets may be plotted or switched at will between the graphs. Each may be drawn on any grid of any complexity, or merely plotted against two axes.

For the more ambitious user, the possibilities are even more exciting. Any graphs, by selection of positions and size, may be shown on the same screen, or may even be superimposed upon each other to produce multicoloured results.

A text mode enables letters, numbers or symbols to be placed anywhere on the screen to enable tilting and labelling.
