Create-A-Graph

Page history last edited by nduelley 14 years, 11 months ago

Description

Created by the National Center for Education Statistics, this cost-free web page allows teachers and students to easily create and print graphs for use as visual communication tools.  With one mouse click, students can start designing 5 types of graphs: bar graphs, line graphs, area graphs, circle graphs, and scatterplots (X/Y).  Various patterns, colors, grids, and label choices are available to allow customization.  A detailed tutorial explains which graphical representation is best for various types of applications and assists users in set-up.  This program takes users step-by-step through the design process of creating each graph then allows finished products to be printed, downloaded, saved or even sent via e-mail.

 

Reasons for Use

  • Create-A-Graph creates graphs for data which is often otherwise difficult to understand or visualize.
  • This program easily allows you to view various graphs using the same data.
  • Create-A-Graph walks you through all of the same steps one would normally take when creating a graph by hand but gives you a colorful, computer-generated graph as the end product.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you so choose, you can be e-mailed a link to your saved graph project where you can make changes and print.
