VVI Updates Interface Builder Graph Palette

State College, PA USA, 20 May 2003: VVI today announced an update to its
Interface Builder Graph Palette. The improvements include:

Templates: Graphs, charts and diagrams start out as template documents that
can be edited with Vvidget Builder and stored in your own configuration
folder. That template is then retrieved and modified by the attributes you
assigned within the Interface Builder implementation and your application.
By setting up multiple template folders a user of the palette can customize
styles for different purposes while maintaining the efficiency and ease of
use within Interface Builder.

Bar And Column Chart Labels: The bar and column chart axis labels can now
be assigned text labels, whereas before they were fixed or numeric only.

Format Types: The chart types accept more formats, color tables, and solid
color types.

Distributed Processing: The implementation accesses multiple servers,
possibly on different computers, in order to fulfill its data requests.

Added Documentation: The Interface Builder documentation sections have been
expanded and are arranged in a more methodical manner. A documentation link
button is added to the Graph View Interface Builder Attribute Inspector.
