Examples

Basic examples

Line Chart:

{{Graph:Chart
 | width = 450
 | height = 150
 | type = line
 | x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
 | y = 10,12,6,14,2,10,7,9,12
}}

Note: The y-axis starts from the smallest y value, though this can be overridden with the yAxisMin parameter.

Area chart:

{{Graph:Chart
 | width=400
 | height=100
 | type=area
 | x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
 | y=10,12,6,14,2,10,7,9
}}

Note: The y-axis starts from zero

Bar chart:

{{Graph:Chart
 | width=400
 | height=100
 | xAxisTitle=The X axis
 | yAxisTitle=The Y axis

Scatter plot

By using a line plot with linewidth=0, it is possible to create a scatter plot:

{{Graph:Chart
|width=500
|height=200
|type=line
|x=15.7,10.8,68.5,33.4,23.8,42.2,27.1,38.2,13.5,74.3
|y1=1517,970,4075,3819,2106,2919,2428,2164,1393,7603
|showSymbols=1
|linewidth=0
|yGrid= |xGrid= 
}}

Using percentages

• When xAxisFormat or yAxisFormat is set to %, a percentage sign will be added to the scale of the corresponding axis.
• A value of 1 equals 100%. A decimal point should be added in front of percentages between 0 and 100, for instance .25 for 25%.
• Including the code | yAxisMin=0 | yAxisMax=1 will force the y axis scale to run from 0% to 100%.

{{Graph:Chart
| width = 450
| height = 350
| x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
| yAxisMin = 0
| yAxisMax = 1
| yAxisFormat = %
| showSymbols = 
| y1 = , , , .43, , , , .39, .43, .38, .38, .40, .48, .54 , .42, .47, .45, .48, .44, .41, .41, .45, .46
| y2 = .40, .377, .38, , .39, .38, .419, .55, .60, .63
| y3 = .27, .311, .31, , .26, .28, .285
| y4 = {{repeat|7|, }} .40, .44, .42, .47, .44, .43, .42
}}

A graph showing values greater than 100% and negative values:

{{Graph:Chart
| width = 450
| height = 350
| x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
| yAxisFormat = %
| showSymbols = 
| y1 = 2, .43, 1.20, .39, .43, .0, -.38, -.20, .18, .54 , 0
}}

Display

Line chart in an {{image frame}}:

{{Image frame 
 | caption=Line chart 
 | content = {{Graph:Chart
   | width=400
   | height=150
   | type=line
   | yAxisMin = -1
   | x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8|y=10,12,6,14,2,10,7,9
  }} 
}}

Line chart

Bar chart in a {{side box}}:

{{Side box |metadata=No<!--This makes the box display on the mobile site-->
 | above = '''A graph of something'''
 | abovestyle = text-align:center
 | text = {{Graph:Chart
  |height = 150
  |width = 200
  |xAxisTitle = Year
  |xAxisAngle = -40
  |yAxisTitle = Units of something
  |yAxisMin = 0
  |type = rect
  |showValues = offset:4
  |x = 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016
  |y1 = 1326, 145, 203, 377, 639, 306
  |y2 =   ,     ,     , 226, 208, 276
  |colors = blue,grey
  }}
 | below = Caption & source links here
}}

Legends

A legend can be added where there are multiple data series:

{{Graph:Chart
 | width=400
 | height=150
 | xAxisTitle=X
 | yAxisTitle=Y
 | legend=Legend
 | y1Title=Blue
 | y2Title=Orange
 | type=line
 | x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
 | y1=10,12,6,14,2,10,7,9
 | y2=2,4,6,8,13,11,9,2
}}

The title can be omitted by leaving the parameter blank:

{{Graph:Chart
 | width=400
 | height=150
 | xAxisTitle=X
 | yAxisTitle=Y
 | legend=
 | y1Title=Blue
 | y2Title=Orange
 | type=line
 | x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
 | y1=10,12,6,14,2,10,7,9
 | y2=2,4,6,8,13,11,9,2
}}

Long legend entries can look clumsy. It may be better to omit the legend parameter and use {{Legend}} (or a similar template) instead:

{{Graph:Chart
 | width=400
 | height=150
 | xAxisTitle=X
 | yAxisTitle=Y
 | colors=darkred, gold
 | type=line
 | x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
 | y1=10,12,6,14,2,10,7,9
 | y2=2,4,6,8,13,11,9,2
}}
{{legend|darkred|This is a long legend entry and wouldn't look so good if it was part of the graph itself.}}
{{legend|gold|This is another fairly long entry.}}

This method also allows the use of wiki formatting and the insertion of links. Graphs using the default colors need to specify the hex values in the legend templates: Template:Columns-list

Alternatively, CSS color names (or hex values) can be specified in the graph and the legend templates.
