Short of completely building the Chart in Visual BASIC, I don't even know how to fix the aspect ratio of the Chart, while permitting the scales to be automatic! If you can't fix the shape of the Chart, you just cannot place text where you want it... > For a better adaption in the graphic charts a more complex > software language would be useful.

I added the extra pairs of columns, to get the radial coordinates to the dial center and Noon point, but the rest hardly needs improving. I'll eagerly pull down the latest version, and thank you for sharing it with us all! Dave 37.29N 121.97W -
