7 Best Free Frequency Polygon Maker Software For Windows

Here is a list of best free frequency polygon maker software for Windows. A frequency polygon is a type of data visualization graph that is constructed by joining the midpoints of each interval. The values behind the frequency polygon graphs are obtained by calculating the midpoints of intervals from the frequency distribution table. If you already have all the necessary values, then you can use these software to quickly plot a frequency polygon graph.

All of these software are mainly office suites which come with various office modules like Presentation, Writer, Spreadsheet, Drawing, etc. From multiple available modules, you only need the spreadsheet application to create a frequency polygon. The spreadsheet program allows you to create columns representing parameters of the graphs like mid-point, frequency, etc. According to the values entered in the rows of columns, the software generates a frequency polygon graph.

To select the type of graph that you want to create, you can use the Chart section of these software. In the Chart section, you can find various types of charts and graphs like bar graphs, pie graphs, area graphs, column graphs, line graphs, etc. The most suited graph type to create a frequency polygon is the Line graph. After creating the graph, you can also adjust graph color, x-axis name, y-axis name, font, line thickness, etc.

The process of creating a frequency polygon graph is quite similar in all these software. You can find the complete frequency polygon making process in the description of each software. Go through the list to know more about these software.
