Drawing Charts

Two commands in the Draw menu are used to draw Daisy Charts, Circular Histograms, Pie Charts and the other charts that can be drawn :-

• Draw Chart - This dialog allows full control of everything.

• Quick Draw Chart - This is a simple dialog that leads you to create a chart quickly.

Once you have opened the database, you will be asked which dialog you want to use to actually draw the required chart.

Always choose the Quick Draw Chart, unless you are using a predefined template

Then choose the type of chart you wish to draw and follow the help.

If you want to draw a chart now, click one of the links below.

** Tip - Remember the following rules, which are useful when setting up a chart for the first time :-

• Try and work on a representative sub-set of your database when you are developing the chart.

• Don't choose mapping fields that create large numbers of nodes.

• Start with perhaps two or three mapping fields, building the complexity of the chart as you feel your way in.

• When you get a chart you find useful, always save the settings as a template.
