A graph (a mathematical concept) is used to describe the intricate relationships between various things in reality. Nodes represent an object, and edges represent connections between objects. Graph Editor provides a visual way to create and edit Graph based on the open source software Graphviz. Graphviz is a visual graphics tool open sourced by AT&T Research and Lucent Bell Labs, which can be easily used to draw structured graph networks and supports output in multiple formats. Graph Editor supports creating directed and undirected graphs, using dot layout. Usually Graphviz uses scripts as input, and Graph Editor can create complex and beautiful graph structures just by clicking on the screen, which is completely automaticly. You can set the color, width, and line style of nodes and edges, and you can also group some nodes into a subgraph. Graph Editor performs various operations on Graph directly in memory, and users do not have to worry about the calculation time of complex graphs. Graph Editor supports exporting the created Graph to PNG, JPG, PDF, and SVG files, and will support more export types in the future. #More graph concepts In mathematics, a graph is a structure described by a set of objects, some pairs of which are "related" in some sense. These objects correspond to mathematical abstractions called vertices (also called nodes or points), and each related pair of vertices is called an edge (also called a link or line). Typically, graphs are graphically depicted as a set of points or rings of vertices, connected by lines or curves of edges. Graph is one of the research objects of discrete mathematics.

One image. One clear story. Charts, dashboards, mind maps, flowcharts, roadmaps and check-in calendars — built on your iPhone or iPad, no desktop required. Export a crisp PNG and drop it straight into a deck, a doc or a chat. NEW IN THIS VERSION Mind maps Grow an idea into a tree: tap + to add a child, drag to reorder, switch themes in one tap. Shapes, line styles, fonts and colors are all editable — even for a single node. Good for study notes, meeting minutes and task breakdowns. Flowcharts A flowchart that lays itself out. Select a step, tap + in any direction and the diagram re-flows on its own. Link any two steps with an arrow, add Yes/No labels, even loop back. Shapes carry meaning: start, step, decision, input/output, subprocess, note. Undo and redo included. Good for approval flows, onboarding steps and system logic. Check-in calendar A month view that follows the real calendar, or a challenge grid you size yourself. Tap a cell to select it, tap again to add one. Completion count and total taps update live, and the color deepens with every check. Good for habits, 100-day challenges and study plans. Roadmap Lay a plan out as a road: snake or zig-zag, highway or track. Every stop has a title, a note and an icon. Set progress to stop N and everything before it is marked complete. Good for project plans, product roadmaps and yearly goals. CHARTS AND DASHBOARDS 13 chart types, from pie and donut to radar, scatter, Sankey, funnel, butterfly and combo (bar + line). Restyle colors, fonts, labels and legends. Enter data by hand or import a spreadsheet. Dashboards: drag charts, text, icons and cards onto one canvas, start from a template, export the whole board as one image or present it full screen. MORE VISUALS Progress bars (line, circle, wave), KPI tiles, Venn diagrams, pyramids, ratings, org charts and custom cards. WHY IT WORKS • Phone first: make it on the train, in a meeting, between classes • Templates instead of a blank canvas • What you see is what you export • Crisp PNG with optional transparent background • Templates and history kept for later • iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape BUILT FOR Reports, weekly reviews, project retros, theses and defenses, classroom material, sales analysis, habit tracking, study plans.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fast Chart holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Chart has 93 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Graph Editor's written reviews are positive against 80% of Fast Chart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Graph Editor ships an update every 10 months, Fast Chart every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
