Chart Studio.

Build donuts, bar charts and time series in the Foundation's/Poll's house style, then copy the SVG (web/further editing) or PNG (MS Office Suite) straight into any deliverable.

Colour
Sequence steps through a Foundation Fuchsia to ink ramp. Spotlight keeps a single fuchsia accent and greys the rest. WRP set uses the World Risk Poll data colours (C1, C3, C2, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8). LRF set uses the Foundation data colours: seven hues, then their dark variants.

How it works

Notes and conventions

What this produces

Every chart is rendered as a single self-contained SVG with no external dependencies. Copy the SVG and paste it into a page, a component, or a CMS rich-text field. It scales cleanly because it carries a viewBox, and it keeps the explicit pixel width and height you set so it drops into fixed layouts without surprises.

Fonts

Text is set in DM Sans, with titles and figures in semibold and the optional subtitle in regular italic. A system sans-serif fallback applies if the page you embed into does not load DM Sans, so the chart degrades rather than breaking. For pixel-exact figures destined for print or PDF, export the PNG from a page where DM Sans is loaded, or convert text to outlines in your vector editor afterwards.

The colour rules

The Foundation uses one chromatic colour: Foundation Fuchsia #e5006e. To keep multi-series charts readable without breaking that rule, two of the palettes stay inside the brand. Sequence steps through a Foundation Fuchsia to ink ramp (fuchsia, ink, deep fuchsia, slate, soft pink, graphite). Spotlight renders one series or slice in fuchsia and greys everything else, which is the most on-brand option when you want to draw the eye to a single finding. WRP set uses the World Risk Poll data colours in their house order (C1, C3, C2, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8) for charts that need more categorical separation. LRF set uses the Foundation's wider data palette: seven main hues (purple, blue, green, orange, red, turquoise, yellow) followed by their dark variants, giving up to fourteen distinct categories.

A single-series bar chart in Sequence, WRP or LRF mode is drawn in that palette's lead colour, since one series needs no differentiation. Switch to Spotlight to pick out one category instead.

Chart types and data shapes

The grid is rows of categories by columns of series; drag a row by its handle to reorder it. Grouped, stacked, 100% stacked, time series and area charts use the full grid. A 100% stacked bar normalises each category's segments to sum to 100%, so the labels show each part's share. A diverging bar centres on zero: the first few series (set by the "left-side series" control) stack leftward and the rest stack rightward, which suits agree-disagree or worry scales. A dumbbell plot draws one dot per series on each row joined by a rule, made for showing the gap between two waves; its axis zooms to the data range rather than starting at zero. An area chart is the time series with a fill under the line, best read one series at a time. A donut uses the first value column only, because it encodes a single set of parts against a whole; its slice labels show each slice's share of the total. Negative values are supported on bars and lines, with a zero baseline drawn when the data crosses it. A blank cell breaks a line and draws no bar, so partial series are fine.

Caveats

This is a layout tool, not a statistics package. It plots exactly what you type. Sample figures are illustrative placeholders; replace them with verified values before publishing, and set a source caption that names the wave and dataset.
