INTERACTIVE TOOLS Portrait Painters Community Projector Age Profiler Community Explorer

Our Portrait Painter software uses Census and other data to write socio-economic profiles, or 'portraits', of any place in Australia. The Portraits are customised to suit your needs, and can be designed now so you are ready for the release of Census 2011 data

The Portrait Painter software runs in Excel and the Portraits are produced as Excel spreadsheets. You can easily publish a Portrait as a PDF or a web page (HTML file).

Several standard Portrait Painters are available:
• Economic
• Indigenous
• Community

If you have specific data or topics you would like Portraits on, we can produce a customised Portrait Painter, designed with you to meet your needs.

The Portrait Painter can add or subtract ABS localities to create areas to match your community boundaries as closely as data allows.

Operations

You open the Portrait Painter workbook to show the Welcome page (above). Click the green Launch button to start the program.

You are asked to select the Portrait template, which opens with the Portrait Painter menu on top.

Using a menu, you enter the name of the community whose Portrait you want to produce. Load the relevant ABS Census data files, click the Update button, and your Portrait is written.
