Fine Tuning Your Chart
FlexCharts provides unprecedented flexibility for fine tuning all aspects of a chart in order to create exactly the chart that you want. Here are just a few of the options you will find in FlexCharts:
- Multiple data sources can be combined in a single chart ?even if they are covering different time periods and intervals. All data points will be automatically date-aligned.
- Data label placement can be automatic as semi-automatic. We?e also created a unique ?og-label?feature for log-scaled charts. If all that isn? enough, you can use the Manual Data Labels tool that literally allows you to specify a set of values at which data labels will be placed.
- Multi-series charts can use left and right axis binding as well as an unlimited number of vertically stacked panes in which to plot the data. All panes are automatically date aligned.

Image Exports
FlexCharts provides easy exporting to a variety of high quality image formats including BMP, EPS, GIF, JPG, PDF, PNG, SVG and TIFF.
Moreover, charts can be designed at exactly the target size of the intended export. This is a very useful feature since the resulting image export will look exactly like what you intend rather than being subject to unintended consequences of re-scaling.

Online Charts
Each FlexCharts account includes the ability to save up to 25 of your favorite charts online. Moreover, charts that are created with data from our online database will be automatically updated each evening as new data is available.

Online charts can be bookmarked and pulled up anytime for viewing ?even without having to log in to the client area. Charts can be easily shared with colleagues and friends and even linked to from other websites.
In addition, multiple charts can be combined into a ?age?of charts that can also be bookmarked and then visited over and over again.
Finally, if you are interested in publishing a live chart on another website, that can be done as well for an additional fee.
