Lovely Charts is the result of a careful balance between power and ease of use. The inclusion of each feature has been preciously weighted out in order to provide the most "powerful yet simple" toolset possible.
This includes :
- Drawing grid : The drawing grid provides an easy and natural way to align, resize and position symbols in a precise and professional manner.
- Automatic snapping : Besides grid snapping, connections handles automatically snap to "remarkable" points, such as the corners, the middle of each side, or the center of the symbols's bounding boxes.
- Alignment tools : align both vertically and horizontally multiple symbols at a time.
- Depth sorting: the ability of interchange the symbols depths allows for the creation of the most complex compositions.
- Zooming and panning support : when drawing large and/or complex flowcharts, you will love this feature.
- Connections styles : select the width, color and style (continuous, dashed, dotted, ...) of your connecting lines, add or remove arrows, draw straight or free lines, to fully customize your diagram in order to communicate in the most effective way.
- Customizable symbols : all symbols have a limited set of options that will allow you to tailor them to your needs, without bothering you with bloated properties inspectors. You can change the fill color, stroke color and with, and of course label for most symbols.
Many features/options have been left out simply because we felt they were not super important to most users, or because we thought they would bring more complexity than necessary. Of course, there might be things missing, we certainly have overlooked some options or forgotten some features, so if you feel like an important tool is missing, please drop us a line, and tell us about it !
