How do I draw a supply and demand graph?

Put Price on the y-axis and Quantity on the x-axis. Draw an upward-sloping line for supply (labeled S) and a downward-sloping line for demand (labeled D). Where the two lines cross is the equilibrium; drop dashed lines from that point to both axes and label them P* and Q*. Figviz does all of this from a text description so you do not have to draw by hand.

Is the supply and demand graph maker free?

Yes. Every account starts with free credits you can use straight away with no sign-up required. Buying a pay-as-you-go credit pack removes the watermark and unlocks higher resolutions. Credits never expire.

What is market equilibrium on a supply and demand graph?

Market equilibrium is the point where the supply curve and demand curve intersect. At this price, the quantity sellers want to supply exactly equals the quantity buyers want to purchase, so the market clears with no surplus or shortage. Figviz marks this point automatically and draws dashed lines to the axes.

What is the difference between a shift and a movement along the curve?

A movement along the curve happens when the price changes and buyers or sellers respond within the same market, keeping the curve in place. A shift means the entire curve moves left or right because an outside factor changed, such as consumer income, input costs, or technology. Figviz can show both: specify the scenario and it will draw the original and new positions.

Can I use it for my economics class or homework?

Yes. Figviz is popular for economics coursework, AP Micro and Macro, and university-level assignments. Download a high-resolution PNG for your essay, slide deck, or printed worksheet. As an AI tool it is excellent for practice and illustration; verify your interpretation against your course material before submitting high-stakes work. Diagrams from a paid account can be used in your own teaching materials.

Demand Curve Shift (Increase)

An increase in demand shifts the demand curve right, raising both the equilibrium price and quantity.

Supply Curve Shift (Decrease)

A decrease in supply shifts the supply curve left, raising the price and lowering the quantity traded.

Price Ceiling and Shortage

A binding price ceiling set below the equilibrium price creates a shortage between quantity demanded and quantity supplied.

What is a supply and demand graph?

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.

Equilibrium, shifts, surpluses, and shortages

Equilibrium: the price and quantity where supply equals demand. Figviz marks the crossing point and drops dashed lines to both axes.

Demand shift: a change in income, tastes, or related-good prices moves the demand curve left or right, changing the equilibrium price and quantity.

Supply shift: a change in input costs, technology, or producer numbers moves the supply curve, again changing the equilibrium.

Price ceiling: a government-imposed maximum price below equilibrium creates a shortage because quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied.

Price floor: a government-imposed minimum price above equilibrium creates a surplus because quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.

Tips for a clear economics diagram

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.
