What's new in Release 44

Another couple of weeks have passed and here we are with yet a new version (R44) of our Datylon chart maker. It includes some interesting changes and improvements, often suggested to us by our users. 

We now have a super handy Auto Fit feature, that automatically resizes your plot area to fit the labels, and we offer new color palettes, that make your data visualizations stand out even more. Some smaller updates will also make your life easier when creating charts or graphs. Read more below. 

Download Datylon for Illustrator now or sign in to the Datylon web app and enjoy the new version!



ADVANCED STYLING / RE-USE & COLLABORATE

Auto-fit labels


Surely you have already created a chart noticing there was not enough space for your labels when new data was uploaded. Manually adding margin was the only option. You can now update your chart with new data with confidence. With our new feature 'Auto Fit' enabled, the plot area of your chart will automatically resize to fit the labels nicely within the boundaries of the chart area. Super handy and a huge time saver! Discover more re-usability features.

So we have reviewed our color palettes in this light and added new default palettes with elegant contemporary colors optimized for data visualizations. Try them out and let us hear what you think!
