A Comprehensive Guide to Creating CSS Graphs and Charts
Graphs and charts are effective visual tools for presenting data in a concise and meaningful way. While there are various libraries and frameworks available for creating graphs and charts, CSS can also be used to accomplish this task. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of creating CSS graphs and charts from scratch.
1. Basic Bar Chart

By setting the height of each. bar element, we can represent the data values visually. The chart-label class is used to display labels below the bars.

To create a line chart effect, we can use CSS pseudoelements to create horizontal lines connecting the data points.

Conclusion
CSS is a versatile tool that can be used to create visually appealing graphs and charts. By understanding the underlying concepts and using CSS properties creatively, you can create impressive data visualizations without relying on external libraries or frameworks. Experiment with different styles, layouts, and effects to present your data in the most visually engaging way.
