There are still many functionality I have to implement (I think it's about 50% done), but I think it's going to be great one.
Developing on iOS/Objective-C is kind of fun, I found, and I'm enjoying learning new technology.

There is a blue frame and a red frame in the preview window... What are those?

It indicates margins.

The blue frame is a user specified margins.
You can specify them in "Printer Detail" tab in the preview window.
By using that, you can adjust the page layout.

The red frame is a "Unprintable Margins".
It indicates printable area.
In the "Printer Detail" tab, on the left side, you can tell what the unprintable margins are.

The blue frame should inside the red frame, as printer can't print outside the "Unprintable Margins".

List up all texts in KG-Chart<br /> 2. Create configuration system so that those text are loaded dynamically<br /> 3. Based on the operating system's language setting, load appropriate text file.<br /> 4. Create a various language version of the list created in #1<br /> <br /> As for the #4, I can use only Japanese and English, therefore I probably need someone's help.<br /> So, I'm planning to ask volunteers to translate the texts to the target language at some point.<br /> <br /> Hopefully this plan would work...<br /> Therefore, I've been trying to modify the code to support other language for a UI display.
