. GRAPHTIME-II Business Graphics Package
. --------------------------------------
(Hercules - monographic version)
GRAPHTIME-II is designed for use with dBASE II/III, Multiplan and LOTUS, but
can very easily be used on its own with data entered from the keyboard.
The package consists of five main modules: Business Graphics (GRAPH) with
up to fourteen graph types, a full-screen graphics editor (DRAW) , a file
input/editor (FILE), a text and macro Editor (TEXTED), and plotter driver
(PLOT).
The graphics editor can be used to create free-form diagrams or to enhance a
previously generated graph. You can select either arrow keys, joystick or
mouse to control the graphics cursor.
GRAPHTIME-II can be either menu or command driven, with an emphasis on
ease of use. Once data has been entered or transferred it can be modified in
many ways with the built-in mathematical functions such as trend and smooth.
All scales and labels are generated automatically with manual override. A
macro facility (FM command) is included for commonly used command sequences
and to control slide shows.
One very useful feature is the UNDO (Fn 4) key. Any graph or calculation can
be reversed to the previous state. This allows for `what-if' experiments with
data manipulation, and removal of the last item drawn with the screen editor.
Display output from the Hercules version of GRAPHTIME-II is on the standard
TTL monochrome monitor. (With the colour graphics adaptor fitted, output can
be on either colour or monochrome screens.) Note: A different version of
GRAPHTIME-II is required for colour output.
