utility graph pie-chart line-graph statistics presentation data
Real simple, a graph maker function that I can access within WA would be useful.  This would allow people to make line graphs, pie charts, column bar graphs, stacked bar graphs, and others.   If the graph allowed for pop up text on each data point/column/bar for more info that would also be neato.     Just something to make presenting information visually a little easier.

The Team's Response

Hello beans!   So, we have discussed this in the past a lot and something along the lines is still in the list somewhere but it's really a "nice-to-have" with very low priority because
  • Images can very easily be imported
  • The Maps feature can make those images very easily quite interactive
  • I still believe that when the time comes that a system like that can truly be integrated and give more depth to WA and your worlds it will be considered.

      You can import a graph as an image already.

      Having the possibility to make these kind of things inside the platforms sounds great. I know there are many programs out there that can do the job, but there are also many more that can make a wikia, so why not add more things to this program.

      Doesn't seem like the kind of thing World Anvil should be investing development time into. It's complex and would suck up loads of effort that could be going into other things, when there are already dedicated specialist tools that are always going to do this better. World Anvil ought to focus on its core strength which is making an outstanding specialist wiki, not trying to be a second rate Excel.

      There many (free) and advanced tools for this. Importing is simple enough. Why reinvent the wheel?

      I think this is well out of the scope of World Anvil and there are many other options to create those graphs.

      This is something easy enough to do in so many different programs that I really find it hard to see why this is worth the time and effort it would take for development.

      It makes no sense to me to have that ability in World Anvil. Just use one of the many options that are specialized for doing that and then include those images.   If you want something interactive use a software that offers that and integrate into world anvil via Webpage (iframe) Statblock.
