RELEASE NOTES
version 2.1 build 46

build 46		'compelling charts, easily'

What's new in this build?
•	Scatter charts A new parameter has been added so you can quickly generate scatter graphs. It supports multiple series and honors any selective data binding you specify. An example is included in the Utility and you can investigate the new Playground included in the download to see how it works. See Scatter in the documentation.
•	Trend lines Linear regression trend lines can now be included in any scatter or line chart. If you have more than one series, each will display its own trend line. See TrendLine and TrendColor in the documentation.
•	Trend line information If you include trend lines in your chart you can optionally show the underlying information, including the r-squared measure of trend line reliability. See TrendInfo in the documentation.
•	3-D Drop Shadow When presentation is important, add a 3-D drop shadow for that 'floating' feeling. See DropShadow in the documentation.
•	Quick-Pick Color Names With over 450 color names to choose from, ChartMaker Utility now displays full color drop-down menus to help you decide which is right.
•	Custom Color Palettes ChartMaker Utility displays a color picker palette for the Font, BackFill and GridFill menus. Now you can decide which palette is displayed. Choose from any of the 6 built-in color palettes or create as many of your own as you wish to ensure display consistency.
•	Color format choice Do you prefer to work in RGB, web codes or color names? Or all three? The Utility will now automatically format colors to suit you.
•	Cell Editing The Utility data table now has a quick checkbox option to select and edit individual table cells with arrow and tab key navigation. Choose your color in the new Preferences.
•	Alternating Row Color Sometimes it is easier to work with rows of altenating color in the Utility. This is independent of cell editing, so you can choose either, both or neither at any time using quick checkbox selection. Again, choose your color in the new Preferences.
•	Disclosure Layout With so many different choices, the Utility has been redesigned to show only what you actually want to see for each setting section. The result is a more compact display of options that is easier to use.
•	Chart Restorer The Chart Restorer quickly re-displays the data and settings for old charts. It is so useful, we have added a quick-access button in the Utility header bar.
•	New Playground 8 Try out and investigate the new Scatter chart, trend lines and 3-D drop shadow features in the new Playground.

What's improved in this build?
•	The chart size restriction of 100 x 100 for iOS mobile devices has been lifted.
•	Blended gridFill colors are no longer always converted to RGB.
•	Mouse wheel scrolling in the Chart Restorer has been added.
•	Samples can now be modified and saved to your personal archive.
•	The Utility now handles an empty initial series value when there are no series titles.
•	Line chart x-axis labelling when xIsNumeric has been improved.
