Chart Builder

Factmint Chart Builder provides a graphical interface for users to quickly generate embed code for Factmint Charts. It also gives users a live preview of the chart that they are creating.

Usage:

N.B. You can use the chart builder without signing in but be aware that you cannot publish a chart on a domain that you have not registered. You can sign in and register a domain at charts.factmint.com.

Data can either be directly input to the Chart Builder, or copied and pasted from a spreadsheet.

Different charts require require a different number of columns and/or formats of data: there are headings at the top of each column to help you with this. For more information about the columns of data required for each chart, please take a look at our full documentation.
