Rationale 1.1 New Features
Version 1.1 is the first significant update to Rationale™ since the product was released. We've added a number of features designed to enable you to do more with Rationale™, and to add colour and impact to your maps. Features include:
- Text Outline
- Basis icons
- Background graphic
- Coloured boxes
- Recently Used Files
- New Splash
Text Outline
The Text Outline feature enables you to view any map in a condensed "prose" mode. Using check boxes, you can quickly change the format of the text outline to suit your needs. From the text outline pane, you can copy a text version for use in, e.g., a Word document.
Basis Icons
The original Rationale™ had basis boxes, but 1.1 gives these much more impact and utility with the addition of custom-designed basis icons.
Background Graphic
Add pizzazz to your maps by having a background graphic. You can adjust the transparency level of the graphic to create the best visual effect.
Coloured Boxes
In Grouping activities, you can choose from a palette of attractive colours for boxes.
Recently Used Files
Rationale™ incorporates its own version of a much-used feature of programs such as Microsoft Word:
New Splash Screen
The new splash screen helps users go straight to whatever activity interests them most.
