KChart is a chart drawing software within KOffice.
KChart is a chart drawing application that is part of the KOffice suite. It is a great tool to embed charts into your KOffice documents such as reports and slideshows. Here are some key features of KChart:
Easy to Use: KChart provides default values for all parameters and automatically computes ordinate axis based on highest/lowest data value. Its default sizes such as fonts and line widths are relative to the window size.
Highly Configurable: All the parameters in KChart can be changed after configuring or drawing the chart. KChart allows users to specify size values in either absolute pixels or relative to the window size. Therefore, the chart layout is independent as the values are recalculated automatically when the window dimensions are changed.
Flexible Layout: Legends can be centered at a chart edge or in a corner with the chart making way in vertical and/or in horizontal direction, offering 16 different legend and chart relationship combinations to choose from. Header and footer texts have special font type/size and color settings.
Axes and Data: KChart allows automatic ordinate axis computation based on highest/lowest data value that can be easily replaced by programmer-defined start, end, and delta value settings. Abscissa labels may be taken either from data cells containing the respective strings or from programmer-defined QStringLists or calculated automatically based on a format chosen by the user and values found in the cells. With KChart, users can have up to 8 axes, 2 left, 2 right, 2 top, 2 bottom. A chart may have 2 different ordinates: e.g. left axis for series 1,2,3 right axis for data series 4. Each axis may draw (sub-)grid lines using their color, line width, and style.
Chart Combinations: KChart allows sharing the same abscissa axis or using different ones (e.g Top and Bottom axis) and sharing the same ordinate or using different ones (e.g Left and Right axis). Axes may use the same line color/width as the bars or lines, respectively, which they belong to.
Chart Types: KChart supports various chart types such as Bar, Line, Area, HiLo, Pie, Ring, and Polar. Users can choose between different options such as normal or stacked, 2D or 3D-Look, and show marker: circle, square or diamond. For Pie and Ring charts, there are options for normal or exploded, 2D or 3D, and fixed thickness or relative thickness.
Overall, KChart is a configurable and flexible chart drawing application that provides users with an array of chart types, customization options, and ease of use. It is a valuable addition to the KOffice suite that is sure to enhance the user's charting experience.
