    SmartDraw calls its Windows PC software application a "visual processor." At its heart, though, SmartDraw is a charting and graphics application, not much different in concept than Harvard Graphics and others of that ilk. Where SmartDraw really shines is in the huge amount of graphic visuals it can produce, together with the loads of options for how these graphics are presented.If you're making a bar graph, for example, you can turn it into a vertical, horizonal, or 3D chart. There are tons of choices, too, for things like color pallets, fonts and font sizes, and gridlines. The learning curve can be a bit steep, but you'll probably find the results to be well worth your while.
