Using LinkBack

Chartsmith supports the LinkBack standard.

LinkBack is an emerging standard for Mac OS X that allows users to link content from one application to another. A user can paste content from any LinkBack-enabled application into another LinkBack-enabled application and reopen that content later for editing with a double-click. Changes will automatically appear in the original document again when you save. For more information on LinkBack visit the LinkBack Project pages.

Linking Charts to Other LinkBack Applications

Charts can be linked to other LinkBack application simply by selecting the chart in the Navigator and performing a Edit->Copy command. Next choose the insertion point in the destination application and choose Edit->Paste.

Edit Linked Chartsmith Charts from Other LinkBack Applicaitons

LinkBack linked charts can be selected for editing by double-clicking the chart. Chartsmith will launch (if necessary) and create a new single chart document with the selected chart. Edit this chart the same as any other Chartsmith chart.

Saving Edited LinkBack Charts

Save the Chartsmith document containing the edited charts to update the linked chart.
