What this helps you see
Deliver a chart in the format its destination needs. A report may need PDF, a web page PNG, and a design workflow SVG; the same project can produce separate outputs.
Free example data and exact column mapping
The figure uses the downloadable CSV with the exact column mapping below. Public snapshots retain their data notes and transformations. Constructed teaching scenarios are identified in the method notes; they are not customer results. Editorial layouts may combine comparisons from the same records.
The free example contains 27 observations and these columns: Source, Target, Value. Keep the header row and preserve one observation per row. The table below shows the first records; the CSV retains the full example.
| Source | Target | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Coal | Turbines | 70 |
| Coal | Heat | 20 |
| Gas | Turbines | 30 |
| Gas | Heat | 10 |
| Solar | Inverters | 30 |
| Turbines | Grid | 80 |
How to use it in Datamon
- Set canvas dimensions and finish titles, units and source notes.
- Open export controls and choose PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF or PPTX. PNG offers resolution scaling.
- Set background transparency and the inclusion of title, source and footer as appropriate.
- Download and open the actual file. Keep a .visualproject backup when later editing matters.

How to read the example
Compare positions and values with the table, then inspect the legend or size encoding where used. A visual pattern is a description of the displayed observations. It does not by itself identify a cause, justify extrapolation, or repair missing data.
Limits and common mistakes
SVG is vector output, not a promise that every label will remain separately editable in another application. Video is a separate configured rendering workflow.
What is free and what needs an account?
Reading this guide and downloading its CSV and chart images are free. Datamon currently has no paid checkout or subscription plans in this deployment. Creating and saving an editable visualization requires Google sign-in. Provider-backed AI, cloud analysis, publishing and video depend on configured services; this guide does not promise unlimited free connected services.
Questions before you start
Can I visualize export svg, png, pdf and powerpoint with a free example?
Yes. The CSV and preview images on this page are free to download. Follow the field mapping and steps above. Sign in to create and save the editable project; connected-service availability is separate.
Can I replace the example with my own data?
Yes. Preserve the observation unit and the required numeric, category or geographic fields. Recompute any derived values, update the unit and source, and compare the output with known rows before sharing.
