Here is an example of a simple column chart which is easy to create and demonstrates all the features of the other Chart Widgets.
If you roll your mouse over the columns you will see the values displayed in a popup.

Use the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) field to enter your data. The top line describes the categories that will form the x axis - running along the bottom of the chart. The next lines of data each describe the values making up the various categories. Each value must by separated by a comma.
It is not possible to change the style of the text or alter the colors of the chart, but you can add as many rows and columns as you like. |
