![]() ![]() ![]() To demonstrate how, take the following example of a blood pressure chart that is part of a data merge that contains two fields – the X and Y axis of the chart. However, an unintended and alternative use for Chartwell Bars makes it perfect for plotting X and Y coordinates for producing variable results. There is a particular font in this family called Chartwell Bars that has a distinct advantage over the others in the family and that is that, when utilising the stylistic set, the font can represent whole values between 1-1000, whereas all other fonts in the family will represent only whole values between 1-100. First suggested by David Blatner’s InDesignSecrets piece, the last Colecandoo blogpost examined some “hacks” to further improve on the font in creating variable graphs or charts ![]() Using this font solves an ongoing issue for users of Data Merge within InDesign: how to create variable graphs or charts using the data in the linked text file only. More information on the font can be found here. The chartwell font is a unique font that uses ligatures and stylistic sets to create both percentile graphs (such as pie graphs) as well as bar graphs. ![]()
