Charts, org charts and tables that calculate, no add-on needed

In Project Medusa, charts, org charts, tables that calculate and barcodes are real objects in the layout, not pasted pictures. They stay vectors in the PDF and follow when the numbers change.

All built in, no add-ons

Screenshot from Project Medusa: Columns and bars, stacked and 100 %, lines, area, pie, doughnut and pictogram, from numbers you type or paste from Excel. Linked to a table or an Excel file, they follow every change.

New figures: the chart follows

Columns and bars, stacked and 100 %, lines, area, pie, doughnut and pictogram, from numbers you type or paste from Excel. Linked to a table or an Excel file, they follow every change.

Screenshot from Project Medusa: An org chart from an indented list, flows from shapes with text, node diagrams with inputs and outputs. Connectors are straight, right-angled, rounded or curved, and they follow when shapes move.

Org charts without pushing boxes

An org chart from an indented list, flows from shapes with text, node diagrams with inputs and outputs. Connectors are straight, right-angled, rounded or curved, and they follow when shapes move.

Screenshot from Project Medusa: Cells starting with «=» calculate: SUM, ROUND to 0.05, IF, references to other tables and document values such as VAT. A calculated field brings the total into the text, numbers align on the decimal point.

No calculator next to the layout

Cells starting with «=» calculate: SUM, ROUND to 0.05, IF, references to other tables and document values such as VAT. A calculated field brings the total into the text, numbers align on the decimal point.

Screenshot from Project Medusa: EAN, ISBN with price add-on, UPC, Code 128, GS1-128, QR code with logo, DataMatrix and PDF417, as vectors in any colour, with check digit and human-readable text, per record too.

No barcode generator needed: EAN, QR, DataMatrix

EAN, ISBN with price add-on, UPC, Code 128, GS1-128, QR code with logo, DataMatrix and PDF417, as vectors in any colour, with check digit and human-readable text, per record too.

  • Tables that calculate: cells starting with “=” know SUM, ROUND to 0.05, IF, ranges, references to other tables and document values such as VAT
  • The total in the running text: a calculated field brings any result into the text and keeps it current
  • Calculate the way you are used to: fill a formula down, name tables, sort by column; inserting columns updates references everywhere
  • Numbers set cleanly: thousands separator as apostrophe, thin space, full stop or comma, percent format, “12.–” for round amounts, alignment on the decimal mark, a true minus sign; charts and data fields follow
  • Tables over many pages: merged cells, header and footer rows, alternating fills, strokes per cell edge, cell text rotated 90°, 180° or 270°, breaking across frames and pages, even through a row that may split at the end of a frame
  • Table and cell styles as named styles: design once, identical everywhere
  • Charts from numbers: columns, bars, lines, area, pie, doughnut and pictogram, stacked and 100 %, as vectors in the document's colours
  • Enter data as in Excel: Tab, Enter, insert rows and columns, paste ranges from Excel or Google Sheets, for charts, org charts and node diagrams
  • Charts with pictures: an image per category above the bar, at its foot, on the axis or as a pictogram; it follows every change
  • Charts in detail: values as number, percent or both, names on the segment, colours tied to the series name, resizing recalculates
  • Org charts and flows: org charts from a list or table, flowcharts with “yes” and “no” on the arrows, node diagrams with named inputs and outputs
  • Connectors that follow: straight, right-angled, rounded or curved, with labels; move the shapes and the lines come along
  • Diagrams by hand: drag boxes with the mouse or arrow keys, connectors follow automatically; «+» on a box or connector adds a new point; connection points round or square, a box's shape can be changed; set line style, weight, colour, dash, arrows and fill for every box or connector in a diagram at once
  • QR-bill: payment slip and receipt to the Swiss guidelines at the foot of the page, reference from a member number or verified, one invoice per member with data merge; IBAN, reference and names searchable in the PDF
  • Barcodes as vectors: EAN-13, ISBN with price add-on, ISMN, ISSN, EAN-8, UPC-A, Code 128 and GS1-128 with OCR-B text and bar width reduction; Pharmacode and Braille for packaging
  • 2D codes in any colour: QR with a logo in the middle, inverted or in a gradient, DataMatrix, GS1 DataMatrix and PDF417, per record too
  • Calendars at the push of a button: a month per page or in a grid, week numbers, holidays from .ics or CSV, moon phases, and the same again for next year
  • Drawing: pen and direct selection, pathfinder, polygons and stars, corner options per corner
  • Strokes dashed, dotted or dash-dot, with caps, joins and arrowheads, placed inside, centred or outside the shape, the same on screen, in the PDF and in SVG
  • Effects with their own window: drop and inner shadow, feathering per side, global light; groups carry opacity, blend mode and effects as a whole
  • Convert type to outlines, matching the typesetting exactly, for logos, lettering and fonts without embedding rights
