Charts

After loading data, appropriate charts are available in Create Chart menu.

Check how to add or customize individual chart features like axis or colors.

Everything begins with a chart mesh created from the Create Chart. This mesh represents the data in 3D. XYZ positions are based on the data and Shape Keys are used to handle animatinos. W attribute is assigned to mesh attributes.

Two core modifiers of the charts are data modifier and chart modifier. These modifiers work together to manipulate the chart mesh into a form of a chart.

Supported Chart Types

The following chart types are available in the Create Chart menu:

Chart Type	Description
Bar Chart	Visualizes data as bars.
Line Chart	Connects data points with lines.
Point Chart (Scatter Plot)	Displays data as points in 3D space.
Pie Chart	Represents data as slices of a circle.
