Lollipop chart generator

Visual Encoding & Comparative Anatomy

A lollipop chart uses a thin stem connecting a baseline to a solid dot, which encodes the primary numerical value. This technique offers the analytical precision of a standard bar chart but drastically reduces visual ink density, making it easier to read when presenting many categories simultaneously. Because all data parsing and graphic rendering are handled entirely locally on your device, your datasets remain secure and are never uploaded to any external servers.

Input Format & Required Columns
