What's new in Release 47

Written by Kosma Hess - Marketing Manager | October 26, 2021

At Datylon, we strive to make it easier for our users to create and share data visualizations. And this means also lowering the hurdle by accessing our tools using Google sign-in. 

And next to that we have, of course, a bunch of new features and improvements of which most were inspired by you, our users.

Download Datylon for Illustrator now or sign in to the Datylon web app and enjoy the new version!


ADVANCED STYLING

Range chart and dot plot


The beauty is in the details. So we created the option to add a gradient in the Range Chart (formerly known as Arrow Chart) and in the Dot Plot. Additionally, it is now possible to make the icon style in your dot plot design data-driven. These new features were implemented to support your flexibility in design. Read more about binding properties.


ADVANCED STYLING

Connect the dots


A connected scatter plot visualizes the evolution of a numerical value. It is used for different kinds of datasets e.g. paired time series. The dots in a standard Datylon Scatter Plot can now be connected using Styling > Data Marks > Connector. Discover all scatter plot properties.


ADVANCED STYLING

Improved Axis Behavior


Recently, we engaged in a lot of discussions with our users about the way numerical and datetime axis ticks are placed now. Some of you expressed the need to extend the axis up to an extra axis tick above the highest value in your data. We listened to your feedback and we developed the option to allow for that in our tool. More about ticks and grid properties in Datylon.


ACCOUNT FEATURES

No more passwords


We don't know about you, but we don't have any more passwords left in us.

As always, there's even more. If you'd like to read in detail about all of the improvements and small fixes, make sure to check out the R47 release notes in the Datylon Help Center.
