A design canvas made for reports

Rahoto’s editor is a freeform design canvas for reports: place text, charts, tables, shapes and images anywhere on the page. Charts, tables and live figures are bound to your data, so next month’s numbers arrive in the same layout.

Typeset text, 101 chart templates you restyle element by element, large tables, brand kits and master pages, with the same report open for your whole team.

  • Real typesetting
  • Chart templates
  • Large charts and tables
  • Brand kits
  • Team editing
Binding a chart to a dataset on the canvas: choose the dataset, map the fields, and the chart draws from the data.

Canvas

Place anything, typeset it properly

  • A freeform canvas

    Place text, charts, tables, shapes and images anywhere on the page.

  • Real typesetting

    Real typesetting: shaped text, kerning and proper line breaking.

  • Live figures inside sentences

    A number in a sentence can be live, so the words stay true when the data changes.

  • Master pages and grids

    Master pages, grids and guides.

The Rahoto editor with a text frame reading “Total revenue across all regions was $96,801,069.00 dollars.” The figure is a live value. In the Live Values panel on the left, “This text is live” and a card named Revenue Usd, a sum of Revenue Usd on the Halvard monthly dataset.
One number in a sentence made live: the Live Values panel lists the value and the dataset it comes from.

Charts and tables

Restyle any part, at a size that holds

  • Chart templates

    101 chart templates.

  • Edit any part of a chart

    Select and restyle any bar, label, axis or legend.

  • Large charts

    Explore and interact with 200,000 points on the GPU; design up to about 1,000 editable marks.

  • Large tables

    Explore and design tables up to 50,000 rendered rows; above that Rahoto shows “first N of M” and you narrow at the source.

Brand

Your look, applied in one step

  • Brand kits

    Your fonts, colours and logo as a brand kit, applied in one step.

  • Every AI change is previewed

    Every AI change is shown before it’s applied, and afterwards it’s an ordinary, editable part of the page.

Together

One report, the whole team

  • Work together

    Edit the same report together, leave comments, and go back to any saved version.

Limits

What to know before you rely on it

  • Per-mark editing stops at about 1,000 marks. Above that, marks are painted on the GPU and can be explored, but are not individually selectable.
  • The GPU path needs WebGL2. Without it, charts use a sampled path and are much slower at the largest sizes.
  • Tables render up to 50,000 rows, and the cap is always shown on the page. Past it you narrow at the source.
  • The chart template count is the number in the registry, not a count of certified designs.
