Web Chart Wizard (WCW) is quite intuitive and very easy to use.

The wizard consists of tabs which provide various functions to modify the chart.

Tab: Type

This tab lets you switch the different types of chart types. You can just make a select in the type dropdown, the chart will redraw itself.

Tab: Size

You can specify the width and height in px of the chart here.

Specify chart size with chs=<width in pixels>x<height in pixels>

For example, chs=300x200 generates a chart 300 pixels wide and 200 pixels high.

The largest possible area for all charts except maps is 300,000 pixels. As the maximum height or width is 1000 pixels, examples of maximum sizes are 1000x300, 300x1000, 600x500, 500x600, 800x375, and 375x800.

For maps, the maximum size is 440 pixels wide by 220 pixels high.

Pie charts are clipped (only partially visible) if the size specified is too small. General size guidelines for pie charts are:

• a two-dimensional chart needs to be roughly twice as wide as it is high.
• a three-dimensional chart needs to be roughly two and a half times wider than it is high.
