Datylon for Illustrator plugin & Datylon online chart maker new version R50 - now with new legend options and rotated text objects

Our main work was more ”under the hood” in the last months. It means that with the release R50, we updated our stack to make sure our products remain futureproof. Nevertheless, we also implemented several new features that some of our users requested. We hope you will like them and find them handy as well. Read more about what's new below.

Download Datylon for Illustrator now or sign in to the Datylon web app and enjoy the new version of the most advanced chart maker!


 

ADVANCED STYLING OPTIONS

More legend options

Legends are essential in understanding a chart and they are often an integral part of it. We added the following - legen... wait for it... dary! - improvements:

  • When using the autofit feature in sizing & positioning, you can now choose whether the legend is allowed to overlap the chart or not.
  • The order of the legend list can be reversed if needed to better match the order of the series layers in the chart. 
  • The color of the legend icons can now be linked to the color of the series (= encodings like bars, lines…), or the color of the data marks.

New in Datylon R50 - More legend options in advanced styling options


 

ADVANCED STYLING OPTIONS

Rotated text object

Not enough space for a horizontal axis title? Do you need a rotated, data-driven annotation? Good news! Now you can rotate Datylon text objects and fit them in where and how you want them.
