"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Argh. So frustrated. Just got off chat support for two hours. And my issue isn't resolved. They've escalated me to Tier 2 tech support, who will call me in 2 or 3 days. Not on, people.

They disconnected from me once, and the replacement person never spoke to me beyond the initial macro. Then fortune gave me the original person back, so we picked it up, but they tried probably three times during it to terminate the chat. Which would be fine if I weren't in the middle of following your instructions, which did not result in a corrected program! I know it's a long and aggravating call, but it is for me too, and I paid hundreds of dollars for your product. It damn well better work.

As we all know, WX is going belly up in a few weeks. Someone on one of my other threads wants to know if there's a way to threadsuck the old stuff. Any one know how?

Vortex,

fyi, the shutdown is in 11 days. We don't have weeks now.

The only info I know is this and I think this is for admins (of the forums) only:

If I insert a "Microsoft Graph" object in Publisher 2003, does that produce a higher resolution graph than Excel? If not, is there free charting/graphing software that will produce high resolution graph/charts? (Pie chart, and smoothed line graph.) (Pasting an Excel Chart into publisher still produces a low graphic quality object.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone know of any wireframe tools? I just use Visio, but someone asked at work, and I was wondering what's out there on the market.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Does anyone know of any wireframe tools?

I've always just used whatever vector program I have on hand - Visio, Illustrator, OmniGraffle. I've also played around with doing quickies online with Mockingbird ( [link] ), which is dead simple and makes sharing really easy; I'm not sure I'd want to use it for any really big projects. Never been interested in paying enterprisey prices for a dedicated tool, but then I tend to use wireframes more as a sketching phase than a must-document-every-step-of-every-interaction thing.

To rephrase my question: I need simple graphing software (Pie charts, line charts xy scatter, nothing that fancy) that can export high resolution images (TIF would be ideal but png or non-lossy Jpegs would be fine). Price cheap to free. My google fu seems weak in this area.

ita, I've used OmniGraffle, but it is Mac OS and iOS only.

You can do virtually any type of statistical graphics with the free R package [link] but the interface is not for the faint of heart.
