CSV2Chart
If you have data from a spreadsheet document (e.g. LibreOffice Calc) or in a statistics software R/R-Studio, you can export them to CSV file. The CSV file can be loaded with an AppLSAC, that is able to convert the CSV in chart for the data. The column should have headers in the first row. The column of the CSV file contain float or integer values. CSV2WikiChart was created as support tool for Wikipedia and for Wikiversity learning resources that contain data.

Basic examples
Line Chart:

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

Area chart:

Note: The y-axis starts from zero

Bar chart:

Multiple data series
Line chart with more than one data series, using colors:

Area chart with more than one data series showing blended overlap:

Bar chart with multiple data series:

Area chart with smoothed data values:

Bar chart with stacked data series:

Scatter plot
By using a line plot with, it is possible to create a scatter plot:

Using percentages

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

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

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

The title can be omitted by leaving the parameter blank:

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

{{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.}} {{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: • {{legend|#1f77b4|#1f77b4}}

• {{legend|#ff7f0e|#ff7f0e}}

• {{legend|#2ca02c|#2ca02c}}

• {{legend|#d62728|#d62728}}

• {{legend|#9467bd|#9467bd}}

• {{legend|#8c564b|#8c564b}}

• {{legend|#e377c2|#e377c2}}

• {{legend|#7f7f7f|#7f7f7f}}

• {{legend|#bcbd22|#bcbd22}}

• {{legend|#17becf|#17becf}}

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