Chart/Graph

[stephmaya]

Hi there,

I need to make a chart/graph of about 50 companies.
The chart needs to have two horizontal bars beside the company. The first bar will be a high percent, the second will be a low percent. My question is, is there a way in Illustrator to set boxes at a certain percent so that the chart is accurate? Or do people guess the length on the bar when doing graphs like this?

I am using Illustrator 9.

Any advice is apprecited.

Thank you,
Stephanie

I'm guessing you are using the "graph" option in Illustraor?
which allows you to input data which makes the graph for you??

I know it's 'cheating' but I have found MS Excel and even Powerpoint better for creating graphs and charts. Once made, I then save them as a PDF which I then open in Illustrator to do the colour and font tweaking and anything else that needs fixing.
