Shapes in Report Workshop
In previous versions, shapes were used only in value visualizers, i.e. in diagrams displayed at cell backgrounds (similar to conditional formatting feature in Microsoft Excel). There are two visualizers that use shapes:
-
changing a shape color and rotation according to a value
-
displaying multiple shapes, shape count corresponds to a value.
This version includes the following improvements:
1) More shapes. In addition to polygons, stars and arrows, the following shapes are added:
- polygon in circle
- star in circle
- star in polygon
- ring (donut)
- square (unlike 4-sided polygon rotated by 45 degrees, it occupies maximum possible space)
- flags (3 shapes of banner)
- emoticons (sad, neutral, smiling, laughing, winking)
- man and woman (two versions)
- "no" sign (slashed circle)
- no-entrance sign (rectangle in circle)
- check mark
See
the help topic for shape images.

6) ShapeScaleX property for visualizers displaying shapes, allowing to use shapes inscribed in a rectangle instead of a square. It is especially useful for human icons (people look better when stay closer to each other)
