KChart is the KOffice chart drawing application.  Use it to embed charts
into your KOffice documents, e.g. a report written with KWord.

* Easy to Use

  + default values for all parameters
  + automatical ordinate axis computation based on highest/lowest data value
  + default sizes (fonts, line widths...) relative to the window size


* Highly Configurable

  + All of the parameters may be changed after configuring/drawing the chart.
  + Size values (axis/grid line width, font sizes, bar width, dataset gap,
    pie chart radius ... ) may be specified in either absolute pixels or
    relative to the window size.  This makes your chart layout-independent
    since such values are being recalculated automatically when the window
    dimensions have changed.

* Flexible Layout

  + Legends may be centered at a chart edge or in a corner with the chart
    making way in vertical and/or in horizontal direction thus offering
    16 legend/chart relationships to choose from
  + Header and footer texts have special font type/size and color settings

* Axes and Data

  + Automatical ordinate axis computation based on highest/lowest data value
    which 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 choosen by the user and values found
    in the cells
  + 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 own color, line width,
    style

* Chart Combinations

  + sharing the same abscissa axis or using different ones (e.g Top and
    Bottom axis)
  + sharing the same ordinate or using different ones (e.g Left and Right
    axis)
  + Axes may use the same line color / line width as the bars (or the lines,
    resp.) which they belong to.

* Chart Types

  + Bar:    normal|stacked|percent, 2D|3D-Look
  + Line:   normal|stacked|percent, 2D|3D-Look,
            show marker: circle|square|diamond
  + Area:   normal|stacked|percent
  + HiLo:   normal|open-close
  + Pie:    normal|exploded|some exploded, 2D|3D
  + Ring:   normal|exploded|some exploded,
            fixed thickness|relative thickness
  + Polar:  normal|stacked|percent
