Introduction

Introduction

Creating graphs is easy — grab your favorite spreadsheetrnprogram, enter some data, and use the chart wizard. What’s more difficult is creatingrnthose graphs to be published on the web based on dynamic data. Plenty ofrnoptions are available to graph hard-entered data, but few are capable ofrndynamic generation.

In this edition of Five Apps, we take a look at five freernweb-based tools for creating different types of graphs from dynamic data. Eachrnof these apps offers a vast number of options and lots of customizability, morernso than I could possibly demonstrate here. So take a look at each webpage andrnbrowse through the examples provided to see the power of each of these tools.

Note: This gallery is also available as an article.
