Who likes chart tools?

 I enjoy a good chart tool. I'm not a heavy creator of charts but I appreciate what great instruments they can be. Presenting data visually makes it accessible to a wider audience. The reader does not have to be an expert to look at a chart to see that something is happening in the situation that the data belongs to.  I just happened upon QuickStats, a chart-making tool for the National Center for Educational Statistics. Its part of the NCES Datalab, which was mentioned in one of my favorite blogs, ResourceShelf.
