>>> All data stays locally on your computer, no data is sent anywhere.

Quick Start: Load Data + Automatic Charts

With just a few clicks you can load a .csv file and auto-generate charts from it. You can auto-generate as many charts as you like and add as many datasource as your computer can handle.

Create Chart

Click the colorful 'Add Chart' button at the bottom of the page to add a single chart. You can create as many charts as you want.

Configuration Options:

  • Data Source: The source of the data to display (choose a .rvt or .csv file for example)
    • Chart Type: The type of the chart
      • Update: Choose a specific point in your update history to lock this chart on
        • Show Values Of: This is the data that goes on the Y-axis
          • Grouped By: This is the data that does on the X-axis

            You can mix and match options as much as you want, no limits.

            Edit Chart

            By clicking the pen icon in the top left corner you can access the Chart Editor. You can mix and match everything, no limits.

            Datasource Editor

            Sometimes the data type of a column (or call it parameter) is not detected properly, or for whatever reason you want to change it.
            Click on the hamburger menu at the bottom of the page to access your data connections. Here you can open the settings for a data connection by clicking on the cogweel icon next to the file path.
            The settings you make here will affect all charts for the given data connection.

            Column Settings:

            Data Type
            This affects how values are calculated. 'number' means values will be summed up, while 'string' means the unique items will be counted.

            Unit Symbol
            This does not affect calculation. But choosing the right unit help understand the charts. If 'Data Type' is set to 'number' you can choose the unit symbol you'd like to display on the charts.

            Download Chart

            You can download every chart as a .png image by clicking the down-arrow in the top left corner. The file will be saved in your downloads folder.
