Bar chart
Compare categories side by side with rectangular bars.
Examples
Types of graphs, drawn live
Nine chart types, one engine, no screenshots — every tile below is the real renderer at work. Open any type for graph examples with real-world data, honest when-to-use notes, and specs you can copy straight into a page.
Line graph
Follow one number over time, point by point.
Pie chart
Show how one whole splits into parts.
Area chart
A line graph with the volume underneath filled in.
Stacked bar chart
Stack the parts of each total into one column.
Scatter plot
Plot each reading as its own point.
Histogram
Bin raw numbers into a distribution.
Dot plot
Count answers one dot at a time.
Big number
One figure, big enough to be the headline.
How to make a graph
- 01
Pick the shape that matches your question — compare, trend, share, or distribution. The pages above end with an honest "not for" line when another type would serve you better.
- 02
Open its maker and paste your rows — typed by hand, or columns straight from a spreadsheet. The chart redraws as you type, and nothing you paste leaves your browser.
- 03
Take it anywhere: an embed snippet that stays live, a PNG or SVG for slides and docs, or a link that carries the whole chart in its address.
