Short introduction to the Xact demo version What is Xact? Xact is a tool for data acquisition and manipulation, data analysis and graphical presentation. The integrated graphics editor can also be used as a stand-alone vector graphics editor. Although Xact is a very powerful and therefore complex tool, you will quickly notice its easy and efficent user interface. The current version of Xact is a direct result of a 5-year cooperation with a large number of users, mainly from the technical or scientific sector. Thus, Xact now offers a broad range of chart types with a vast number of proven options. One of the unique capabilities of Xact is the capability to manipulate each single object of the chart individually if desired. This gives you complete control over the appearance of your chart. When developing products, practical usablitiy is our main concern. By practical usabiliy, we understand a combination of an easy user interface, a large feature set, and precise and reliable operation. To form your own opinion, please read the rest of this short introduction and get some hands-on experience by using the demo-version. The online help and the sample documents may prove useful. BTW: Xact is available for different computers and operating systems. Currently shipping are versions for IBM compatibles using OS/2, Microsoft Windows, DOS, or Novell's FlexOS. Also available is a version for Atari computers using TOS. Cross-platform upgrades are available at fair prices. Now enjoy working with the demo version of Xact.
