Histogram Maker workflow

Histogram Maker is for scores, prices, durations, and counts. It works with score distribution, class spread, and outlier review, adds automatic bins, editable bin size, and spread summary, and keeps the preview, checks, and exports tied to the data you entered.

From input to export

  1. Start with the scores sample or paste your own CSV, Manual data.
  2. Load a sample that resembles your data shape.
  3. Review detected fields and recommendations before export.
  4. Export Histogram, Distribution summary after the checks explain any remaining context or readability issues.

When to use

  • Use Histogram Maker when you need to show distribution and spread.
  • It is a good fit for scores, prices, durations, and counts.
  • It works best when your data resembles score distribution, class spread, and outlier review.

When not to use

  • Do not use this workflow for category comparisons with labels.
  • Do not publish the result until title, unit, source, and export size have been reviewed.
  • Use another chart preview when the recommendations explain a better fit.

Controls that matter

  • Map fields before reading the chart.
  • Choose a chart type from the preview controls.
  • Add title and source context before export.

Input and method

  • The parser normalizes rows into a browser-side table and never requires an account.
  • Field detection classifies score distribution, class spread, and outlier review into number, date, category, or text fields.
  • Values are grouped into automatic bins so the distribution can be reviewed without manual bucketing.
  • The score combines data readiness, field mapping, chart fit, labels, accessibility, and histogram export readiness.

Checks before export

  • Using a histogram for named categories instead of numeric distributions.
  • Exporting before adding a clear title, unit, or source note.
  • Ignoring the page limit: this workflow is not intended for category comparisons with labels.
  • Treating the score as approval instead of reviewing the specific fixes.

Export options

  • PNG and SVG exports use the current histogram preview and selected size.
  • Markdown and mini report exports include title, source note, detected fields, score, and fixes.
  • HTML, JSON config, clean CSV, and alt text are available from the secondary export panel when data is valid.

Output limits

  • Very large datasets should be summarized before using this browser-side tool.
  • Avoid this workflow for category comparisons with labels.
  • Image-only chart recognition, cloud storage, and collaborative editing are not part of this version.
  • Generated summaries should be reviewed before publication.
