Creating SVG charts with Excel
« on: August 06, 2024, 01:35:11 PM »
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RCraig09/Excel_to_XML_for_SVG is, by far, the most useful Wikipedia user page I have ever seen.

I've uploaded .xlsx (Microsoft Excel) spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for charts in SVG format.

You simply paste or enter your data into the spreadsheet, and specify image dimensions, number of grid lines, font sizes, etc. The spreadsheet instantly and automatically generates a column of XML code that you simply copy and paste into a text editor and save as an ".svg" file. The spreadsheets produce lean SVG code, avoiding the "extra stuff" that Inkscape inserts. They should save you time in creating SVG charts.

See here for examples of charts created with this method.
