This software provides a user-friendly interface for creating flowcharts and organization charts. It offers various customizable options like color and font support, multi symbol and border styles, and auto routing of lines. Additionally, it supports multiple documents and allows for easy drag and drop of objects between documents.

Chartist supports the OLE feature of Windows that enables other applications to link or embed the information you created through this software. It supports multiple documents, and you can exchange data among Chartist documents quickly by using the Clipboard or drag and drop.
Chartist also supports text, graphics, and color capabilities of your display and printer. The text in a Chartist document may use any number of fonts available from your printer. A Chartist document is a single or multiple pages in size, depending upon your printer settings. You can include up to 4000 symbols within a document. A symbol is a polygonal shape with optional text or graphics inside it which can use any font and color available on your printer.
Lines may be drawn between Symbols, and Chartist will automatically route them depending upon your entry and exit points. You can customize it as well by choosing different pen styles, thicknesses, and routing styles such as straight, curved or square turns. You can also add text labels to the lines.
Symbols and lines are redrawn automatically as you move them around the document. With Chartist, you can create interactive charts that are informative and visually appealing.
