Nowadays, most people use charts for expressing an idea or for displaying the evolution of a value. In the business area, charts are indispensable. Creating charts is not a really difficult process if you have the right tools for the job. Microsoft Word includes a feature for creating charts but, unfortunately, it lacks a lot of options and settings and most of the users will find it not good enough. One can turn to specialized applications for creating charts. One of them is Swiff Chart Standard. It's a program that can help you create numerous types of charts and can help you customize them thoroughly.

Despite having a lot of features, Swiff Chart Standard is much more easier to use than the chart creating feature in Microsoft Office. The installation process is also very simple and fast to complete by most users. It supports most versions of Microsoft Windows and takes up little hard disk space and little system resources.

Running Swiff Chart Standard for the first time will display a step by step wizard that can help the user get started with creating charts. The wizard allows selecting one of the many types of charts available. Next, it can add the values of the chart using a file or by entering them manually. That's pretty much it can do. After the chart is created, the user can modify it thoroughly if so desires. Thus, the colors of the charts can be changed and also the font.

The program includes some graphical buttons for completing some of its actions and also the classical menu, which seems a bit crowded at first.

Swiff Chart Standard includes a feature for animating charts, similar to the one included in Microsoft PowerPoint. Therefore, charts will be easier to present to the general public and also the message they try to transmit will be received better. After the charts are created and modified, the user can save them as a Flash video, as an image or as a project file, for reusing the chart later on.

Pros

It features a step by step wizard for creating charts, allowing even beginners to get started quickly. Besides that, it can modify all the aspects of a chart, like the colors or the font. Last but not least, it allows saving charts as Flash videos or image files.

Cons

An evaluation message is displayed on all the created charts, which is really annoying. Besides that, the menu includes a lot of features and beginners may find this confusing. Swiff Chart Standard is the best solution for creating any type of chart quickly and easily.
