I’m not too fond of the Flash graphs on the NaNoWriMo site, so I found a place to generate my own: Create A Graph, an education site (and a .gov too; who’d have thought! It’s a colorful little site).

The program is very friendly, as you can imagine, and lets you download the finished graph in multiple formats.

My settings were:

Design

Line chart, grid color white, grid lines 3, shadow, no legend

Data

Graph title “Arachne’s Word Count”, X Axis Label “Day”, Y Axis Label “Words”, Data Set “10 items”, Groups “1”, each item has a label of a number and the corresponding value for that day, min-value 0, max-value 80,000 (my target for book 1)

Labels

One of the fun fonts, font size 18

On the Print/Save tab, I clicked on “Download” and chose PNG for my image format (it explains what each format is).

My graph for up to yesterday (click on it for a larger version):
