Abstract

This utility allows LOTUS users to enhance output through three-dimensional graphics, including 3-D barcharts, surface plots, joined bar graphs, line graphs, and financial bar graphs. Options allow custom titles, colors, scaling, range clipping, and formatting (fixed, scientific, currency, percent, general). All graphs can be rotated as desired and the angle of view of the graph is user selectable. Handles arrays up to 1,500 x 1,500 cells. Compatible with LOTUS PRINTGRAPH or FREELANCE PLUS . The program installs as a LOTUS 1-2-3 add-in, with commands appearing in menu bars as if part of LOTUS itself, except that it is activated by Alt-F9. Although lacking some features, such as choice of fonts for titles and labels, this package will dramatically improve LOTUS graphics output with minimal effort from the researcher.
