Comments and Reviews
Not an intuitive design (plotting "line" gives out some kind of line, but not actual data like line-series of TChart). Hangs and freezes when importing text/csv files (tab separator, windows new line, regular numbers with "." decimal separator). When importing from OpenOffice, it modifies zero values to empty field.
