How can I graph a category?

I would like to set up graphs for individual categories -- for example, to see how my freelance income changes over time, or to see how much I'm spending on office supplies over time. Unfortunately, in all the graph types, I seem to only be able to select accounts, not categories. Is there a way to do this?

I can see how to generate -reports- for specific categories, but not graphs.

    Hi arlo,
    The Expenses Graph can display a graph of an individual Category. Click on Tools > Graphs and Reports. Select the Expenses Graph. Uncheck 'Show Top: X'. Cick on the blue text 'None', then select the Category that you want a graph of from the list of Categories. Click 'Generate'

    I'm happy to report that when I ran the graph, it was trending upward (smile).
