Graphs, charts, and other pictures can contribute substantially to an article.Here are some hints on how to create a graph. The source code for each of the example images on this page can be accessed by clicking the image to go to the image description page.
The template offers complex formatting and labeling options to control the output. Typically, each use is made into its own template, and the template is then transcluded into the article. See an example here, and an example of it being used in an article here. The use of fixed images, such as File:Narnia Timeline.svg, was common in the past ...
Would it make sense to have examples of GPL code that generates figures? I am thinking of some of the figures I have made might be useful. i.e. File:USDebt.png PDBailey 22:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC) You can use OpenOffice to create these sorts of charts. However, SVG is the preferred image format, and OOo's SVG output isn't always correct.

The above bar chart, showing population bars for each year, can be generated by using the markup text listed below. The example text (below) can be copied and shortened, or expanded, to handle other years or numbers in a bar chart format. The image size is set as "ImageSize = width:450 height:305" for a box of 450x305px.
Date is unfortunately displayed only in en-US format for all Wikipedia languages. Workaround is to use xAxisFormat and yAxisFormat with numerical dates format. xScaleType and yScaleType : scale types of the x and y axes, e.g. linear for linear scale (default), log for logarithmic scale and sqrt for square root scale.
It is preferable that diagrams and maps be saved in the SVG file format. This is an open standard for vector image files. If saving the image as a raster graphic, the PNG file format is generally preferred, though JPEG is acceptable. Very simple animations can be saved in the GIF file format. Other formats are strongly deprecated.
The graphs can be used together to determine the economic equilibrium (essentially, to solve an equation). Simple graph used for reading values: the bell-shaped normal or Gaussian probability distribution, from which, for example, the probability of a man's height being in a specified range can be derived, given data for the adult male population.
