Everyone likes data visualizations so I wrote a plugin that will make the quick and secure creation of Pie Charts, Bar Charts and Line Charts easy. The answer is: Easy Graphs.
Easy graphs is very simple to use. It’s a shortcode – [easy_graphs]
Not just like that. The shortcode also requires one parameter “data”. This parameter is a comma separated list of number values “1,2,3,4,5,6,7”.
You can also add a “type” parameter. The “type” can be “line”, “bar” or “pie”. “bar” is the default.
For a Bar graph, you can optionally pass additional parameters: width, height, and color.
Example: [easy_graphs height=”200″ type=”bar” data=”30,70,65″]
By default, width and height are populated from your media embed sizes that are set in your Settings > Media menu inside WordPress. Color should be a hex color code.
For a line graph, the options are similar: color1, color2, height and width.
If you will: [easy_graphs height=”200″ type=”line” data=”200,150,175,260″]
In this case, color1 is the “fill” color and color2 is the line color. Both should be hex.
For Pie charts, there are some additional limitations but fewer parameters: color1, color2 and diameter.
Try this: [easy_graphs diameter=”150″ data=”40,60″ type=”pie”]
Diameter should be an integer represented in pixels. Color1 and color2 are the fill colors of the pie slices. The limitation is the pie chart, at this time, can only take 2 values. I’ll work on that.
On the roadmap are other things. Make the pie chart take more values than just 2. Maybe include other graph types. Labels so the data can be more easily understood.
What would you add to this?

Easy Graphs

This plugin allows for simple data visualization in post content. It is Multisite compatible and relies on shortcodes to render the graphs.

PressViz is a WordPress chart plugin for people who want to publish clear, responsive charts without leaving the block editor.
Most chart tools make you jump between dashboards, embeds, shortcodes, spreadsheets, and third-party services. PressViz keeps the chart workflow inside WordPress: add the PressViz block, enter data manually or upload a CSV, choose a chart type, style it in the sidebar, and publish.

<h3>Why WordPress Charts Still Feel Hard</h3>
A chart should help a reader understand the story faster. Too often, the workflow gets in the way.
<ul>
<li>You leave WordPress to build the chart in another tool</li>
<li>You paste shortcodes or embeds instead of editing in the post</li>
<li>Chart data and table data live in separate plugins</li>
<li>Hosted charts depend on external services, accounts, or scripts</li>
<li>Canvas-only charts can be hard for screen readers, search engines, and AI crawlers to understand</li>
<li>Editors inherit charts they are afraid to update later</li>
</ul>
PressViz is built for a cleaner workflow: chart creation, data editing, visual styling, and front-end rendering all stay connected to the WordPress post.
<h3>What You Can Build With PressViz</h3>
📊 Charts inside the block editor 
Create charts directly in Gutenberg with a native block, guided starter flow, live preview, and sidebar controls.
📁 CSV import and manual data entry 
Start from a CSV file, paste numbers into the editable grid, or type values by hand. PressViz is useful for quick editorial charts, reports, comparisons, and data snapshots.
📈 Multiple chart types 
Publish bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, scatter, radar, gauge, and funnel charts from one WordPress chart block.
🧾 Chart data that remains part of your site 
PressViz stores chart data in your WordPress database using a custom table. You do not need an external chart service, CDN-hosted chart script, or third-party dashboard just to publish one useful chart.
🎨 No-code styling controls 
Adjust chart type, title, subtitle, colors, legend, labels, spacing, animation, and responsive behavior without writing code.
📤 Front-end export buttons 
Let readers download a chart as a PNG image or export the underlying data as CSV.
<h3>Built for SEO, Accessibility, and AI Crawlers</h3>
A chart should not become a blank visual shell once it reaches search engines, screen readers, or AI crawlers.
PressViz is designed to make chart output more understandable beyond the canvas. It includes accessible output, screen-reader-friendly data, and structured dataset markup so the chart can carry meaning as content, not just decoration.
That matters for:
<ul>
<li>Search engines trying to understand the data behind a chart</li>
<li>AI crawlers and answer engines reading page context</li>
<li>Screen reader users who need the data behind the visual</li>
<li>Publishers who want charts to remain useful, portable, and understandable over time</li>
</ul>

<li>SEO-friendly chart metadata: Structured Dataset markup helps make charts more understandable to search engines and AI systems.</li>
