One picture is worth one thousand rows.
Entrance can make histograms, bar charts, line charts, area charts, scatter plots,
pie charts, high/low, swath and correlation charts. Entrance also supports color and size overrides that make it possible to highlight data points.
You can pick points from a chart to see the data rows that correspond to them, and you can explore data using innovative "data painting" techniques. Charts can be printed or saved as PNG and JPEG.
It is easy to chart data in a table using the "Make a chart..." dialogs in Entrance. Basically, you just select a few table columns, click OK, and you have a chart.
If you know some SQL, be sure to check out the Entrance PLOT command. You can embed instructions in SQL scripts to generate plots almost as easily as you produce text output.
There are sample datasets and plotting examples to show you how it all works on the Entrance home page.
