However, to make sense of this raw data, it\u2019s essential to visualize it. This is where you need an efficient <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/\">graph maker<\/a>.\r\n\r\nA graph maker is essentially a data visualization tool that helps you plot raw data points on different charts and graphs. This helps you understand what your data actually means so that you can make critical strategic decisions. Whether you want to plot a few data points or you\u2019re looking to visualize millions of numbers, you can effectively render any graph or chart with a good graph maker.\r\n\r\nWhile there are many graph makers in the market, not every data visualization tool\/library is efficient enough to meet all your expectations. For example, some graph makers only come with a limited number of charts and graphs, can&#8217;t handle large data points, and are difficult to use. However, there are also powerful data visualization libraries\/graph makers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/fusioncharts\">FusionCharts<\/a> that offer all the features you need.\r\n\r\nIn this article, we\u2019ll discuss some of the key points that you should keep in mind while choosing a graph maker in order to understand whether it meets your requirements. We\u2019ll also show you why FusionCharts is the best tool for your next project.\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Which_Charts_And_Graphs_Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Support\" title=\"Which Charts And Graphs Does Your Graph Maker Support?\">Which Charts And Graphs Does Your Graph Maker Support?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Which_Dashboards_Can_I_Build_With_A_Graph_Maker\" title=\"Which Dashboards Can I Build With A Graph Maker?\">Which Dashboards Can I Build With A Graph Maker?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Allow_You_To_Export_Dashboards\" title=\"Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Export Dashboards?\">Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Export Dashboards?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Support_Time-Series_Visualizations\" title=\"Does Your Graph Maker Support Time-Series Visualizations?\">Does Your Graph Maker Support Time-Series Visualizations?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Allow_You_To_Tell_Data_Stories\" title=\"Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Tell Data Stories?\">Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Tell Data Stories?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Allow_You_To_Customize_Visualizations\" title=\"Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Customize Visualizations?\">Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Customize Visualizations?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Can_You_Create_Interactive_Graphs_And_Charts_With_A_Graph_Maker\" title=\"Can You Create Interactive Graphs And Charts With A Graph Maker?\">Can You Create Interactive Graphs And Charts With A Graph Maker?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/graph-maker-expectations-vs-reality\/#Are_Graph_Makers_Easy_To_Use\" title=\"Are Graph Makers Easy To Use?\">Are Graph Makers Easy To Use?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Charts_And_Graphs_Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Support\"><\/span><strong>Which Charts And Graphs Does Your Graph Maker Support?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nCompanies collect different types of data, and they need different types of graphs and charts to visualize that data. For example, if you want to compare numeric values like profits and sales, column charts are the best option. When you want to understand the relation between two variables, however, a scatter graph is the right choice. Naturally, users want a graph maker that offers all the different types of charts and graphs, but not every graph maker offers this. With FusionCharts, however, you can create a wide range of charts and graphs (100+). FusionCharts also comes with more than 2000 choropleth maps (covering countries and cities) to help you make insightful reports.\r\n\r\nSome of the most commonly used graphs and charts offered by FusionCharts include:\r\n\r\n<strong>Line and Area Charts<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20200 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/b.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"975\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/b.png 975w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/b-300x177.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/b-768x453.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/>\r\n\r\nLine charts are great for depicting continuous data over time. Their use cases include representing fluctuations in hourly temperature, daily earnings, and changing foreign currency rates. Area charts, on the other hand, are useful for understanding trends and performances over time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pie and Donut Charts<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20201 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"977\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c.png 977w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c-300x175.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c-768x449.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/>\r\n\r\nA pie chart is helpful when you want to show percentages of a whole. A Donut chart is similar to a pie chart, but it has a blank space at the center for displaying key information related to the data.\r\n\r\n<strong>Column and Bar Charts<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20202 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"981\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a.png 981w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a-300x171.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a-768x438.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/>\r\n\r\nNext, column charts are useful for comparing numeric values\/data over time. Bar charts consist of horizontal bars of equal widths, and they are best for representing quantitative information.\r\n\r\n<strong>Domain-Specific Charts<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFusionCharts also supports domain-specific charts like Heatmaps, Marimekko Charts, Gantt Charts, Treemaps, Gauges, Waterfall Charts, and Spider Charts.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Dashboards_Can_I_Build_With_A_Graph_Maker\"><\/span><strong>Which Dashboards Can I Build With A Graph Maker?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20203 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"731\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a-1.png 731w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a-1-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/>\r\n\r\nBusiness dashboards allow businesses to track different metrics and KPIs, like conversion rates and annual sales. They help users analyze trends and make key strategic decisions. Dashboards usually consist of multiple data visualizations, each representing different metrics. Businesses need different types of dashboards for different use cases. For example, a wealth management dashboard helps you interpret your financial status, while a sales management dashboard allows you to analyze important sales stats.\r\n\r\nDashboard creation can be a complex process.\u00a0 If you\u2019re using FusionCharts, however, building interactive dashboards is significantly easier. FusionCharts comes with a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/dashboards\">pre-built dashboards.<\/a> These include a wealth management dashboard, sales management dashboard, SaaS dashboard, investment portfolio dashboard, and more. FusionCharts also offers a collaboration dashboard that lets multiple viewers\/users add comments on the visualizations without leaving the dashboard.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Allow_You_To_Export_Dashboards\"><\/span><strong>Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Export Dashboards?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWhile many graph makers aren\u2019t capable of exporting full dashboards, FusionCharts offers this feature through FusionExport. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/fusionexport\">FusionExport<\/a>, you can easily export full live dashboards in different formats, such as PDF and image. You can also quickly add new elements such as colors, logos, and tables to your exported dashboards. You can also generate your dashboards automatically on the server in an email-friendly format or send a live snapshot of your dashboard straight to a user\u2019s inbox.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Support_Time-Series_Visualizations\"><\/span><strong>Does Your Graph Maker Support Time-Series Visualizations?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nA time-series graph or chart displays a series of data points at successive time intervals. These graphs are great for visualizing trends in numerical values over a specific period. While many graph makers don\u2019t support time-series visualizations, FusionCharts lets you create high-performance time-series charts and graphs quickly and easily using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/fusiontime\">FusionTime<\/a>.\r\n\r\nFrom simple time-series charts and stock charts to millions of data points in a graph or chart or complex multivariate analysis, you can create any type of chart with FusionTime. The best part is that you can plot a wide range of chart and graph types. In addition, your charts will work seamlessly, without any additional effort, on any device, be it a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Finally, with FusionCharts, you get interactive features, like date range selectors, interactive legends, tooltips, a time navigator, and much more.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Allow_You_To_Tell_Data_Stories\"><\/span><strong>Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Tell Data Stories?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20204 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dats-story.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"903\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dats-story.png 903w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dats-story-300x90.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dats-story-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 903px) 100vw, 903px\" \/>\r\n\r\nData narratives and stories are a great way to make your data memorable. They also make it easy to summarize data. Not every graph maker, however, allows you to communicate your narratives. With FusionCharts products, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/datastories\">effectively tell compelling stories<\/a> using linked visualizations. This helps engage users and compels them to dig deeper into your data.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Your_Graph_Maker_Allow_You_To_Customize_Visualizations\"><\/span><strong>Does Your Graph Maker Allow You To Customize Visualizations?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nCustomizing your visualizations with titles, labels, and legends makes them easy to understand and interpret. Unfortunately, most graph makers come with limited customization options. FusionCharts, on the other hand, offers a wide range of customization options to make your visualizations more meaningful. These include labels, titles, axis labels, annotation, legends, trend lines to highlight important landmarks within the data, and more.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Create_Interactive_Graphs_And_Charts_With_A_Graph_Maker\"><\/span><strong>Can You Create Interactive Graphs And Charts With A Graph Maker?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nIt depends on which graph maker you are using \u2013 most graph makers only produce image-based charts or static images of charts. However, FusionCharts supports a wide range of user interactions.\r\n\r\nWith FusionCharts, you can:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Allow users to switch between values on a graph or chart<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Show and hide data series in column charts,<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Create drag-able charts<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Zoom in and out<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Drill down to endless levels and much more<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Graph_Makers_Easy_To_Use\"><\/span><strong>Are Graph Makers Easy To Use?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWhile most graph makers are difficult to use and require a lot of time and effort, FusionCharts has almost no learning curve. FusionCharts doesn\u2019t require any special coding skills, allowing you can create your first chart in less than 15 minutes. Finally, FusionCharts comes with a consistent API, extensive documentation, and lots of live examples.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cart.fusioncharts.com\/\">Are you looking for an efficient graph maker that can meet all your expectations?
