Chart Manager

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to modify the XML of the charts from the model-driven app without having to export the charts (developed by Tanguy Touzard).

In the out-of-the-box chart editor, there is no option to update the styling of the chart (label font, colour, format, border, etc.) and it can only be done by exporting the chart XML, updating the properties in XML and importing back.

To update the chart without exporting and importing back the chart XML, you can use this tool to edit the chart XML.

There is another similar tool called Advanced Chart Editor which is built on top of the Chart Manager. Advanced Chart Editor does all of the functionalities mentioned below and other functionalities such as updating chart properties with the visual editor, preview, cloning and deleting the chart.
