Chordography

What is Chordography?

Chordography is an app that generates chord charts. Well it may not be the first but it is versatile and it can create charts for any fretted instrument: banjo, guitar, mandolin, ukulele etc..

Charts are created in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format which makes them extremely compact, typically about 1 kbyte whatever their size. SVG charts may be scaled, and are readily converted into other image formats at any size. Moreover, they can be styled with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) so that colours and fonts can be matched to the host page after the images have been created.

Chordography operates as a stand-alone drawing tool either on or off-line. Alternatively its JavaScript routines can be used to generate dynamic image code for immediate display, as demonstrated by Chordography itself.
