A system and method to automatically produce a display chart from example graphics and data values. New or existing example graphics are drawn with a programmable data processing system, and the drawn graphical elements within the chart are identified. A data value is then associated with at least one of the graphical elements, and a list of heuristics are applied to determine the visualization characteristics for the graphical elements. The display chart is then produced incorporating the visualization characteristics for the graphical elements.
