Wishlist: All of the above to be taken care of in DrawPerfect. Far-out wish list: Support for allowing one variable in a scatterplot to control the size of the dots in the scatterplot and for dot plots. I hope the designers of DrawPerfect have read or will read the following: Cleveland, W.S. (1984). Graphs in scientific publications. _The American Statistician_, _38_, 261-269. Cleveland, W.S. (1984). Graphical methods for data presentation: Full scale breaks, dot charts, and multibased logging. _The American Statistician_, _38_, 270-280. Cleveland, W.S. and McGill, R. (1985). The many faces of a scatterplot. _Journal of the American Statistical Association_, _79_, 807-822. Despite being in statistical journals these articles are quite readable even for individuals without statistical expertise and provide many useful ideas for graphing.
