Row charts

You can now create row charts within Graphmatik by selecting the row chart option in the data workspace.

Row charts are very similar to column charts, except they are horizontally aligned instead of vertically aligned for comparing and ranking data. They share a familiar data table structure, charting interface, and statistics panel with column charts.

Row charts are preferred when working with large datasets owing to their horizontally aligned labels.

Likewise, you can now easily toggle between row and column variants when plotting a grouped chart.

Lollipop charts

Start creating lollipop charts today. Lollipop charts are similar to basic barplots except the length of the bar is replace with a thin line and a dot/circle represents the numberical value of interest.

Lollipop plots are a very common and can essentially be used interchangably with basic barplots.

Lollipop charts have less visual weight than bar plots and are often preferred when plotting a lot of data or when traditional bar plots start to look cluttered.

A new "Ghost" theme

We have been working on a new theme codenamed "Ghost". This new theme intends to provide a more minimalist or clean aesthetic compared to Graphmatik's default theme.

The "Ghost" theme will attempt to remove axes where possible in favor of annotated labels and will be rolled fully in future updates.

You can test out the "Ghost" theme in version 0.0.2 by creating any simplified bar or lollipop plot within the column, row, or grouped chart options.
