Description: Charter is an application designed to convert numeric data into vector graphics files. It can save as either DrawFiles (with text if required) or as DXF files for PC compatibility, which can also be read (but not written) by !Draw itself. The program is written in BASIC and then compiled, but the source code has been included, and contains numerous useful procedures and functions. The data file format it uses it is very simple, consisting of a series of numbers, separated by and terminating with Carriage Returns. Data editing is possible, with a full undo buffer, as well as text entry in any available font. The program also has an internal format data file, in which text and numeric data are saved.
