Create Your First Graph

You can create graphs in several ways in Grapher. Graphs can be created with the graph wizard, from the Home | New Graph commands, from the worksheet, and from templates. All of these methods are discussed in the Creating Graphs help topic. We will use the most common method for the tutorial, creating a graph through the Home tab New Graph group.

To select the graph you would like to create, click on the image or text that corresponds closest with the graph you would like to create first. We recommend starting with the lesson that best matches the graph you want to create, and completing the others as needed.

Class Scatter

A class scatter plot uses symbols for each XY location based on a third value (Class column). It groups data into categories, with each data point shown using a symbol for its category.

Bar Vertical

Display data as bars drawn from a base value to a data value. If using multiple variables, the bars can be stacked or placed side by side. The bars can be oriented vertically or horizontally.

Line Plot

The data is displayed as a line, as symbols, or as a combination of both. It is plotted in the order it appears in the data file. A single graph can contain multiple line/scatter plots.
