Chartbuilder is a front-end charting application that facilitates easy creation of simple beautiful charts.

Chartbuilder is the user and export interface. D4 is the default charting framework. This version of Chartbuilder is a fork from the version that powers all chart creation on Atlas, a charting platform developed by Quartz.

If you are not interested in customizing the styles of your charts use the hosted version: http://quartz.github.io/Chartbuilder
