Charts in demonstration PipeDream 4
This directory contains some sample charts and some simple tutorials
showing you how to create your own charts. The file %H4%charts%H4% contains
some general information; read this first. The directories Election,
Inflation and Worldcup contain simple spreadsheets with live charts.
The directories 1_3Dbars and 2_Penguins give instructions on making
your own charts. Pictures contains some draw files which you can use
in making your own charts. If you like, you can also use your own draw
files.
Remember that the demonstration version cannot save charts and so the
charts that appear in the documents will not be updated dynamically as
they would be if loaded into the real PipeDream. You can, however, see
the charts live by bringing up the PipeDream menu and selecting Edit
Chart from the Charts menu. This will put the chart into an edit
window. When you change the values in the spreadsheet the chart will
redraw in the editing window. You can also change the format of the
chart in the editing window.
You may find that when investigating charts it is best to use a wide
screen mode. If you have an A5000 computer and a multi-sync monitor
try mode 39. If you have an earlier computer try mode 16. To change
the screen mode, bring up the menu on the coloured palette icon at the
bottom-left of the window, slide across the mode arrow and type the
number in at the bottom of the menu.
Finally, fonts. The charts in this directory use Trinity and Homerton
outline fonts. If you have these fonts available, all well and good.
If you do not have outline fonts the charts will be displayed with
system font. System font is rather ugly when used in graphics. If you
have this, please remember that charts are much prettier when using
outline fonts.
