A standard supply and demand diagram with P* and Q* marked at the intersection of the two curves.
An increase in demand shifts the demand curve right, raising both the equilibrium price and quantity.
A decrease in supply shifts the supply curve left, raising the price and lowering the quantity traded.
A binding price ceiling set below the equilibrium price creates a shortage between quantity demanded and quantity supplied.
A binding price floor set above the equilibrium price creates a surplus where quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
A clean blank template with price on the y-axis and quantity on the x-axis for students to draw their own curves.
Start with one of these examples, then adapt the subject, labels, data, or layout for your own use.
A standard supply and demand diagram with P* and Q* marked at the intersection of the two curves.
Create a clear labeled supply and demand graph. Price on y-axis, quantity on x-axis, upward supply curve S, downward demand curve D, dashed lines to axes at equilibrium labeled P* and Q*. Classic textbook style. White background.
An increase in demand shifts the demand curve right, raising both the equilibrium price and quantity.
Create a supply and demand graph showing an increase in demand. Draw original demand curve D1 and shifted demand curve D2 to the right. Show original equilibrium E1 and new equilibrium E2 with higher price and quantity. Label both equilibria. White background.
A decrease in supply shifts the supply curve left, raising the price and lowering the quantity traded.
Create a supply and demand graph showing a decrease in supply. Draw original supply curve S1 and shifted supply curve S2 to the left. Show original equilibrium E1 and new equilibrium E2 with higher price and lower quantity. Label both curves and equilibria. White background.
A binding price ceiling set below the equilibrium price creates a shortage between quantity demanded and quantity supplied.
Create a supply and demand graph showing a binding price ceiling below the equilibrium price. Draw supply and demand curves, mark equilibrium, draw a horizontal dashed line for the price ceiling, and label the shortage as the gap between quantity demanded and quantity supplied at that price. White background.
A supply and demand graph is the central diagram of microeconomics. It places price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis, then draws two curves: an upward-sloping supply curve showing how much sellers offer at each price, and a downward-sloping demand curve showing how much buyers want. Where the two curves cross is the market equilibrium, the price and quantity at which the market clears. Figviz generates a clean, labeled version of this diagram from a plain-English description of the market or scenario you have in mind, so you spend your time on analysis rather than on drawing.
Always label the axes (Price on y, Quantity on x) and give the curves single letters (S and D) for readability. When showing a shift, number the curves (S1 and S2 or D1 and D2) and mark both equilibria so the direction of change is obvious. For price controls, draw the control line as a dashed horizontal and use a double-headed arrow to show the size of the surplus or shortage. Keep axis tick marks minimal so the diagram reads well at small sizes in an essay or slide.
This is the distinction exam questions are built on, and the one students most often draw wrong. A movement along a curve comes from a change in the price of the good itself: the curve stays put and you slide to a new point on it. That is a change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, never a change in "demand" or "supply". A shift comes from anything other than the good's own price, and the whole curve moves left or right. That is a change in demand or supply. Cheaper coffee means a higher quantity demanded (a movement); higher household income means higher demand (a shift). Tell Figviz which you mean and it draws the right one.
Students on AP Microeconomics, IB, A-level, and university problem sets use Figviz to drop a clean figure into an essay. Teachers generate one variation per scenario, then print blank axes or graph paper so students draw the curves themselves, and assemble it with the worksheet generator. The same approach covers the circular flow diagram elsewhere in an intro course. Analysts pair it with a line chart of real price history, a business model canvas, or a SWOT analysis when a pricing argument needs more than one visual. See our guide to AI diagram generators for how these compare.
