Give Me A Graph!


This application turns tabular data into a convenient web-based graph.

The numbers

We'll get the meat out of the way first. Paste (or, if you must, type) your data into the box. Each line should have an x-value and its corresponding y-values separated by commas (or something else, if you insist). This is a very simple example:

2003, 4
2004, 4
2005, 9
2006, 14
2007, 22
A more thorough explanation of the format required is here.

Columns are delimited by:

All the controls below this point are of only cosmetic importance, so you can press this button to generate the graph now.

The image

Specify the required dimensions of the image. If the dimensions you give are too small or too large, they will be changed to something more sensible. Note that these dimensions specify the size of the entire image, not just the area that has the graph on it.

Desired image width (pixels):
Desired image height (pixels):

Boundaries

Use these widgets to say where you want the edges of the graph to be.

X-axis start:

smallest value
slightly less than the smallest value
X-axis end:

largest value
slightly more than the largest value
Y-axis start:

smallest value
slightly less than the smallest value
Y-axis end:

largest value
slightly more than the largest value

Scales

Normally, you shouldn't need to fiddle with these, but if the graph generator does mess it up, here are the controls.

X-axis tick frequency:
None

X-axis numbered tick frequency:
