Update
ExpressGraph is an easy-to-use business graphics program.
Numbers can be analyzed much more easily and quickly when
they are displayed in graphic form. ExpressGraph allows you
to display numbers in a variety of graphic formats. Then you
can choose the display you like best, and print your graph.
Here are some examples of how people use ExpressGraph:
* Graphing sales dollars and gross profit on a weekly
basis, using line graphs and bar charts.
* Displaying financial data graphically, to see how a
company is changing, or to compare two or more companies'
financial status.
* Analyzing budgets and expenses with a pie chart: which
expenses are most significant? Which ones are
increasing?
* Spotting trends amid a "sea of numbers". A graph can
make a strong trend easy to identify, while the same data
may go unnoticed when displayed numerically.
* Providing summarized data in graphic form to accompany
financial statements, for quick analysis and trend
spotting.
Graphs created with ExpressGraph (GRAPH) can be displayed in
one of ten graphic formats, altered in various ways, and
printed out. The data for the graph can be saved on disk and
reloaded later for further changes or review.
And if you want to add some finishing touches to your graph,
just move the cursor around on the screen and enter
additional text in small, medium and large sizes.
There is an old saying that a picture is worth a thousand
words. To paraphrase that old saying, a graph is worth a
thousand numbers. In fact, a recent research study compared
businessmens' ability to absorb information from graphs,
versus absorbing the same information from financial
statements and other business reports. The study showed that
the businessmen absorbed information 1200 times faster when
it was in graphic form. And they tended to retain the
information longer too, because their mind had a "picture" to
remember. So maybe in the interest of accuracy, our
paraphrase should read: "a graph is worth 1200 numbers".
GRAPH runs on the IBM PC and compatible systems with the
following minimum configuration:
* 256K computer memory.
* An MSDOS or PCDOS operating system version 2.0 or
later.
* A graphics monitor, either monochrome or color.
* A graphics adapter board. GRAPH does not work
with mono- chrome boards.
* A double sided diskette drive. GRAPH is also
compatible with hard disks and RAM disks.
* A printer is optional. To print graphs, your
printer must either be an IBM or Epson compatible
graphics printer, or must have a special graphics
program for doing screen prints of graphic
displays.
