What is a T-chart used for?

Comparing two things side by side: pros and cons, facts and opinions, before and after, two characters or two choices to weigh up before a decision.

How do I change the headings?

Type them in the topic as “First | Second”, or start each line of the text box with a heading and a colon. With a plain topic, the columns are headed Pros and Cons.

Can I print two on a page?

Yes: choose two copies per page for two half-size charts with a cutting line between them.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The chart is made in your browser, and nothing you type leaves your device. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the last page.

T-chart template

Two columns, your headings; print the T-chart.

Examples temporarily replace the input and settings. You can restore your previous work.

One box per line, in order. Start a line with a heading and a colon to rename the box, and separate the items with semicolons: “Methods: No checklist; Rushed training”. On a fishbone diagram each line is a bone, and a name alone is a category to fill in. For a T-chart, a topic like “Cats | Dogs” names the two columns; for a story map, “Title | Author”. Leave the box empty for a blank organizer.
