Step One: Select the state and the years you want to chart.
US or individual state:
US or State: By default, the chart shows overall United States government revenue. But you can select revenue for individual states by selecting the state dropdown control in the table heading.
Data units:
Start Year: End Year:
Note: First year of available data for individual states is 1992.
If you want to chart data for a single year, go to the Numbers page. If you want a pie chart, go to the Pie Chart page.
Step Two: Select the data you want to chart.
(Up to five allowed)
(Click on dropdown to select the revenue function you want)
Data Series: Select a revenue series you want to chart from a dropdown on the left. If you select on the bottom dropdown you will add a data series (up to a maximum of five). The right-hand dropdown allows you to replace a data series with a more narrowly focused series. Click the “X” link to remove a data series from the chart.
Step Three: Select the chart characteristics.
Bar chart or line chart:
Line/Bar: By default, the data series are displayed as line charts. But you can also select a bar chart.
Stacked chart (or not):
Data Stack: By default, the data series are “stacked” when displayed on the chart. But you can change the setting to “un stack” the data series.
Chart size:
Chart Size: By default, the chart is displayed at medium size. But you can use the dropdown control to change the size.
small = 300x200, thin = 350x230, medium = 390x250, large = 550x300
Color or black-and-white:
Color: By default charts are displayed with color data lines and fill. You can change this to grayscale if you want. Or display a chart using Google API or chart.js API.
Step Four: Display your chart.
Click button:
Dont worry. You can add functions or change things later.
