QUICK TIPS

How to Use the Line Graph Maker

Before making your line graph with the free line graph maker, have all your data ready. Sketch out the best time progression for your graph.
Insert the data manually or import from an Excel sheet. You can also import live data from a Google spreadsheet.
Choose the value settings to best match your data. There are options for percentages and monetary symbols.
Customize the fonts, background and the colors of the lines according to your brand style guide.
If it's not a branded line graph, use a color palette that matches the rest of your project. Decide on the position of the legend and the angle of the values.
Using the settings tab in the line graph generator, choose the style of the lines – angled, smooth or stepped.
If you are creating an interactive design, use the animation settings to bring your line graph to life. There are multiple animated options to choose from.
When using more than one line graph, be sure to use the same style throughout. This way your project will have a unified look.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I create a line graph?

Absolutely! You can make single and stacked line graphs. You can also choose from three different types of line styles – angled, smooth or steps.
