    SAMPLES.TXT:    TreeChart v1.10 Sample Charts
 ==========================================================

TreeChart is distributed with a number of sample charts and templates. The
samples included may vary from time to time. This document describes those
samples included in the current release.

In v1.10, Template Files now normally have a filename extension of
.TCT, to indicate they serve a different purpose to charts (.TCF).

SAMPLE CHARTS
=============

TUTORIAL.TCF

The completed Tutorial Organization Chart, as prepared (step-by-step) in
the TreeChart Tutorial (TUTORIAL.WRI - Windows Write format).

If you're new to TreeChart, we recommend that you prepare your first
chart by working through this tutorial.

ORG.TCF

Organization Chart. Demonstrates using multiple Layouts and marking boxes
as exceptions to the normal Layout rules to illustrate assistants and
shared staff. Also demonstrates creating dummy boxes to frame a set of
boxes. Fit-to-page printing has been selected. We suggest you select
Landscape printing. The imaginary 70-person company illustrated here
was copied from a comparative review of five Organization Charting
programs in the December 17, 1991 issue of PC Magazine (USA).

SYNTAX.TCF

Parse tree (as illustrated in section 1.2 of the User Guide).
Demonstrates setting Layout text margins to determine how close to the
text the connecting lines are drawn. Border settings intended for
copying pictures into other documents: a small gap between the 'border'
and the chart, and no actual border rectangle.

DIR.TCF

Directory tree (as illustrated in section 1.2 of the User Guide).
Demonstrates setting Default Layouts to color-code items listed based
on their level in the hierarchy.

HOUSEWBS.TCF

Work Breakdown Structure for House Construction project (as illustrated
in section 1.2 of the User Guide). Demonstrates Default Layouts, and
creating an additional Layout to maintain reasonable box width by
splitting the text into two fields.

Phylogenetic tree of molluscs (a phylum within the Metazoa subkingdom
of the animal kingdom. To suborder level only (there are 75,000
molluscs!). Adapted from a chart in "Marine Life", by David and
Jennifer George, pub 1979 Harrap, London. Suggest Portrait
printing (fit-to-page already set).
