Purpose:
Excel automated data labels are limited to either X values or Y values. Customized labels such as sample names, locations, and references etc. are more valuable information on a plot.

With PetroPlot, any kind of information can be labeled, and adding customized labels is as easy as to add Excel default labels

We also imported a set of label tools from Rob Bovey (www.appspro.com).
"Bovey Chart Labeler" adds labels to a variety of chart types, including XY Scatter, Line, Column, Bar etc.
"Bovey Chart Labeler" moves labels of a whole series (Excel doesn't allow this type of movement by default).
Please visit Bovey Chart Labeler...
