A zoom facility operates on graphics like maps and graphs. Some adjustments may be necessary before a chart is printed and the publisher recommends downloading charts to the clipboard or a file and using a DTP package to adjust them.
Users can create their own charts and graphs by choosing regions for comparison.
This is a library, rather than a classroom tool. It represents excellent value for money compared with hard-copy alternatives. An illustrated booklet accompanies the disk with installation instructions and adequate details of how to use it.
