pb4072 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hello, So, I'm a bit frustrated with Illustrator's chart-making abilities. I see that Affinity doesn't pretend to do as much as Illustrator in that regard, but, I want to ask these questions. I see that there's a way to make a pie chart, easily. Now, if I'm making a comparative chart, could I duplicate one pie and then change its look through percentages? Of just value x .3, something like that? If I make a bar chart, could I duplicate a vertical rectangle and size it via percentages in the sizes template? Or, again, by just value x .4 or .5? Will Affinity have more chart-making abilities in the future? I asked about arrow making about a month ago, and, now, I see that there's an arrow-making tool. Cool. I don't believe that was there then. Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi pb4072, Affinity Designer currently doesn't have automated charting tools; however, you can duplicate objects and insert values manually - you can use math operations in the input fields, including using percentages - to construct charts/pie charts manually. I'm unaware of new charting/diagram's specific tools for Affinity Designer, at least not in the short-term. But I may be wrong. TonyB is the most suited person to give you a definitive answer regarding this.

pb4072 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thank you for your response. So, when I go into the "transformation" tool, I haven't been able to use math. I've tried typing "x .5" after a value, and, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 3, 2015 You have to use * (an asterisk) instead of x. You can also insert something like *=0.5 or *=50% or even /=2 to reduce the size of the object in half. Here's a related topic with more info including functions.

ckingpin Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hello, I am agree with pb4072 - I am looking also for an alternative diagram/ charttool within a powerful illustration app. AD looks fine (for illustrations), but without any diagram feature it is bootless for me.

jenifercolt Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I dont have any idea about Affinity charts but you surely get the solution in Koolchart.com. Its a good website dealing with charts like Javascript charts, HTML 5 charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
