      Learn about the Datylon products

      The Datylon tools allow the user to create and share reusable charts, reports, infographics, or data visualizations in general. There are two different platforms: 

      These tools can be used separately from each other, but also together, delivering the best of both worlds. Both modules have an editor on board to create charts and data visualizations.

      Datylon Report Studio has extra features to share data visualizations online based on templates created online or using the Datylon for Illustrator plug-in. This allows data owners to publish graphically rich charts and reports by simply uploading new data. 

      Datylon for Illustrator on the other hand allows the chart designer to build more advanced charts and reports as it is integrated into Adobe's Illustrator graphic editor. A Datylon for Illustrator license also gives access to Datylon Report Studio.
