FAQ
What types of charts can I create?
You can create line charts, bar charts, or range band charts.
Can I use my own colors?
The tool uses a color palette inspired by The New York Times, with a main color and an accent color (red or mint green). The focus is on editorial design.
What happens if I only provide a text conclusion?
If you only provide a text conclusion, the tool will try to estimate a reasonable chart to illustrate it, but will indicate that it's a schematic.
