Datylon R44 - Release Notes | 2021 Feb 15

Datylon for Illustrator or Datylon web app

Auto Fit

With Auto Fit enabled, the plot area of your chart will automatically resize to fit the labels within the boundaries of the chart area. Spacing can be added on all sides or each side separately. 

In case the position of the plot area versus the boundaries of the chart area needs to be constant, for instance to align multiple charts, use Fixed Position.  The distance between the plot area and the chart boundaries can be changed in Margins

New color palettes for better readability

New default color palettes have been added with elegant contemporary colors optimized for data visualizations.
