Novagraph ChartistT - Flowcharts and Organization Charts

Richardson, Texas (July 12, 2006) - Novagraph, Inc. announces the release of
Chartist 5.0, a comprehensive software application for drawing flowcharts and
similar diagrams. New features include support for color gradients in diagram
objects; additional graphics import formats; enhanced line and border style
properties; larger toolbar icons; preservation of additional default settings
between sessions and improved text justification controls.

Chartist is a fast and compact application for Microsoft Windows platforms. With
Chartist you can create, edit, and print flowcharts, organization charts or other
diagrams that use similar components. You can easily import graphics created by
Chartist into other applications, including word processors, desktop publishing,
presentation graphics, and web pages.

Chartist focuses on speed and ease of use. Users can quickly install Chartist and
become productive. You can use Chartist effectively right away, set it aside, and
come back to it in a month or so and use it again without having to relearn a
complex application. Most users need to draw diagrams from time to time, and do not
like an over complicated application.

Version 5.0 of Chartist includes several enhancements. You can use vertical or
horizontal color gradients as symbol backgrounds. TIFF, JPEG, GIF, and PNG graphics
import formats have been added. Lines and symbol borders can have a custom thickness
setting, and border styles are supported for all closed shapes. The toolbar buttons
have been increased in size, with additional color for ease of use. A button has
been added for the "Active Planes" function, which is used often in complex
diagrams. Settings for symbol and line default properties are now preserved per user
between sessions. The symbol text justification controls now operate similarly to
most word processing applications.

Whether you are a businessperson who needs to quickly and easily document your
organization\'s structure, a software developer who needs to commit a program flow to
paper, a quality manager, or a student, Chartist provides the tools that you need.

The Standard edition of Chartist is priced at $49.00, and the Professional edition
(Chartist-Pro) is priced at $89.00. Advanced features in Chartist-Pro include group
editing functions for more complex diagrams, symbol and text rotation, the ability
to link or embed objects into symbols as pictures or hyperlinks, a spelling checker
with dictionaries for several languages, and support for an XML data exchange file
format. Chartist runs on Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and later operating systems.
