The required entries are the «Number of columns [2-5]» and the «Column value» (numerical) that will determine the height of each column. All other entries are optional. The default labels for the columns are A, B, C, etc. These can be redefined by entering alternative text, up to a maximum of six characters per column. After all information has been entered, click the «Make Graph» button. If you wish to change the appearance or details of the resulting graph, click the «Back» button or the «Reload» button on your browser and try again.

With some combinations of platform and browser, the printed form of the graph should be a close approximation of what you see on the screen. With others, the results are somewhat unpredictable. Click here for details.

On a Windows platform, the printed form of a graph comes out fairly well intact on all versions of Explorer that I've tried.
On a Mac platform, the printed form of a graph comes out fairly well intact on all versions of Explorer and Navigator that I've tried. On some versions of Navigator, you will do better not to select a background color for any of the columns of the graph.

Caution: On a Windows platform, the printed form of a graph has not come out well at all with the several versions of Navigator that I've tried.
