GRAPHTIME-II VERSION V3.00 (#669 & #670) ________________________________________ Business Graphics and Drawing System Developed by: JD, DA, JM and BJ Newman. 1985 - January 1991 Registered version (#6331) is available from: PC-SIG 1030D East Duane Ave Sunnyvale California 94086 Price: $49.95 GRAPHTIME-II Shareware version is a Business and Technical Graphics system with graphics and text editors. It is designed for use with ASCII files, LOTUS, dBASE II/III and Multiplan. Can also very easily be used with your own data entered from the keyboard into the built-in spreadsheet. This package consists of six main modules: Business Graphics (GRAPH) with up to eighteen graph types, a full-screen colour graphics editor (DRAW), a text generator and font editor (FONT), external file input (FILE), text and macro Editor (TEXTED), printer driver (PRINT) and Function Generator (GTF). The graphics editor can be used to create free-form diagrams or to enhance a previously generated graph. You can select either arrow keys, or mouse to control the graphics cursor. The registered version includes a typeset tutorial and reference manual, plotter and high resolution printer drivers. GRAPHTIME-II can be either menu, command or macro driven, with an emphasis on ease of use. Commands can be selected with first letter, arrow keys, TAB key or MS mouse. (All can be active at the same time.) 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. Macros can be created by recording a sequence of commands as they are used. ("Record" mode.) One very useful feature is the UNDO (F4) 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.
