Ampler Charts lets you resize a chart by its handles, move it by its centre, and rotate it — all by dragging.
Quick answer: Drag a handle to resize, drag the centre of the chart to move it, and use the rotate icon to rotate it.
How to use it
Drag a handle to resize; drag the centre to move.
- Resize the chart by dragging one of the handles, and release at the desired size.
- Move the chart by dragging in the centre area of the chart.
- Rotate the chart by clicking and holding the rotate icon.
The chart resizes, moves, or rotates to where you place it, so it fits the slide.
How consultants use it
A chart has to fit its place in the layout, and precise sizing is part of a clean slide. Three habits apply:
- Sized to the layout: the chart is dragged to fit its allotted space
- Positioned cleanly: moving from the centre keeps placement controlled
- Rotated only when needed: rotation is used deliberately, not by accident
Moving and sizing a chart keeps it fitting the slide layout.
Tips & best practices
- Size charts consistently across slides that will be compared.
- Move from the centre area to reposition cleanly.
- Use alignment to keep charts square to the slide.
