I have used the charting functions of Illustrator and they are very comprehensive as far as I can tell. I am still learning but the features are very nice - Using pictures for columns (like oil barrels) which can be placed in a number of different ways. You can scale the images, cut them off (like when car companies use cars to represent millions of units output where 1.5 million were made. e.i. one full car and half of one) you can have them scaled (as the bar on a bar graph fets larger, the picture can be scaled accordingly). Well, you get the picture, or should I say Illustration?!? All in all it is a very well thought out program.
