Hello gannet. Thanks for posting to remember everybody how good ChartDirector is. That's why I chose it for KakaoStats. That and the fact that it is free if the yellow bottom banner is shown.
Just to those who are not familiar with the ChartDirector license this is part of it:
Trial Version
The trial version of the ChartDirector software will produce yellow
banner messages at the bottom of the chart images generated by it. You
agree to not remove, obscure, or alter this message.
Subjected to the conditions in this license agreement:
- You may use the unmodified trial version of the ChartDirector
software without charge.
- You may redistribute the unmodified trial version of the
ChartDirector software, provided you do not charge for it.
- You may embed the unmodified trial version of the ChartDirector
software (or part of it), in a product and distribute the product,
provided you do not charge for the product.
If you do not want the yellow banner messages appearing in the charts,
or you want to embed the ChartDirector software (or part of it) in a
product that is not free, you must purchase a commercial license to
use the ChartDirector software from Advanced Software Engineering
Limited. Please refer to Advanced Software Engineering's web site at
www.advsofteng.com for details.
The last time I did setup a PayPal account it was for a
new server building. At that time very few contributed and although I was very pleased by the gesture of those who did it was not worth the embarrassment of asking for money.
ChartDirector is indeed of very good quality. Free of known bugs and very easy to install and use. I can say to anyone who asks that he should definitely try it.
