- Chart Version 1.1
- =================
-
- Simple Charts and Diagrams
-
- A picture is worth one thousand words! Simple charts and diagrams can rapidly
- convey information. If you want to communicate structure, logical
- relationships, or organization, the Chart application can help. It lets you
- sketch out a chart on your Psion 3a. You can save, restore and edit this
- information as required. When you need hard copy, or integration of the
- resulting information into other documents, transfer the compact Chart file
- to a Windows 3.n platform, and print or combine with other programs using
- the supplied Windows utility. The process is as straightforward as backing
- up your Psion.
-
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- Copy CHART.OPA to the APP directory of your internal drive using your
- preferred transfer protocol. There are no further files to be copied. Install
- the application with Psion-I. When you first run Chart a directory will be
- created on your internal drive \CHT\, as a preferred location for Chart
- files, which are given the extension .CHT by Chart.
-
- Basic Use
- =========
-
- Adding Boxes
- ============
-
- Move the cursor about the screen using the arrow keys. Use of the Psion key
- amplifies the effect of these keys. Insert a new box using Enter or Psion-L.
- This will provide a dialogue box with fields for text and the style of box
- required. You can enter multiple lines within one box by incorporating '\'
- characters to delineate line ends. The following styles are supported:
-
- Box No_Box Shadow Diamond
-
-
- Changing Boxes
- ==============
-
- Move the cursor to the selected box and press Enter or Psion-C. A dialogue
- box of the current attributes for the selected box is displayed. Any changes
- are immediately imposed on the diagram.
-
-
- Deleting Boxes
- ==============
-
- Move the cursor to the selected box and press Delete or Psion-D. The
- selected box is removed from the diagram.
-
-
- Connecting Boxes
- ================
-
- To connect two boxes move the cursor to the centre of the first box, press
- and hold Shift, and move the cursor to the second box. Whilst still holding
- Shift press Enter. The connection will be made.
-
-
- Disconnecting Boxes
- ===================
-
- To disconnect two boxes move the cursor to the centre of the first box,
- press and hold Shift, and move the cursor to the second box. Whilst still
- holding Shift press Enter. Chart will disconnect the two boxes. This is the
- same procedure as connecting two boxes (Chart recognizes that a connection
- already exists and deletes this existing connection).
-
-
- Moving Boxes
- ============
-
- To move a box, move the cursor to that box. Press and hold Shift, and whilst
- holding down Shift, move the cursor to the new position. The box will be
