Back to Press Information Chartsmith Enhances Keynote Integration, Expands AppleScript Support Reston, Virginia — April 16, 2003 — Blacksmith announced today, the immediate availability of Chartsmith v1.2.1. This release of the popular charting and graphing application for Mac OS X provides enhanced Keynote integration, expanded AppleScript support, along with several data parsing and user interface enhancements. Chartsmith v1.2.1 includes enhanced support for Apple's Keynote. Now when users request a Keynote document export from Chartsmith, they can also choose a theme from a list of all installed Keynote themes. Additionally, users may also elect to include their Chartsmith chart notes as Keynote slide notes. This release of Chartsmith expands the functionality provided to AppleScript users. Chartsmith's AppleScript dictionary has been updated to provide commands which support bulk data loads and license detection. License detection allows AppleScript developers to detect if Chartsmith is running in demo mode where image export is not allowed. Charts created through the Applescript can be viewed directly in Chartsmith even if Chartsmith is running in demo mode. Also included in this release of Chartsmith are improved interface controls, better data parsing, and enhanced axis and grid labeling. Chart borders now have color control. Axis titles and tick labels each have position controls and currency symbols £, € and ¥ are now supported for both data parsing and axis labeling.
