Tour of the Interface ? taking the reader through each pane that comprises the interface, explain what a “glyph” is.  Also brief explanations of layers, attributes and scales to be covered in detail in later chapters.

Chapter 2 ? Binding Data

Binding Data to Categorical fields and numeric fields ? taking the reader through how Charticulator associates data with chart elements.

Using Legends - to explain values in the chart

Editing colour scales ? controlling the colours you want to use

Chapter 3 ? Using a Numeric Axis

Working with symbols

Creating Line charts, Scatter and Bubble charts

Understanding the difference between a numeric Legend and a numeric axis

Chapter 4 ? Plot Segments

2D Region Plot Segments ? what are Charticulator plot segments

Using Plot Segment Sub-Layouts ? what is a sub-layout. Taking the reader through all the five different sub-layouts in Charticulator.  Also how to sort, align and space elements of the chart.

Line Plot Segment ? Plotting data onto a Line plot segment.  Understanding plotting numeric or categorical data.

Chapter 5 ? Working with Categorical Axes

Using Two Categorical Axes in the same chart ? Taking the reader through creating matrix style and small multiple type charts.

Hiding Chart elements ?

Using “Conditioned by…” Showing the reader how to hide elements using conditions.

Chapter 6 ? Working with Numeric Axes, Tick Marks & Tick Data

Controlling Tick Marks

Using Text Labels on a Numeric axis ? Taking the reader through the Tick Data attribute.

Examples of using Tick Data in custom charts.

Chapter 7 ? Charticulator Expressions

What are Charticulator Expressions

Referencing Field Names

Using Charticulator’s Aggregating functions

Formatting Numeric Expressions ? using “d2-format”
