Looking for a 'heat map' showing difference in cost if you fly on a different date

I few years ago, I found a flights website that showed a graph of the price of flights on different dates. So you could see on a 'calender' the cost consequence of flying a few days earlier or later. But I can't remember what it was called.

I am hoping to fly out to New Zealand for xmas, and I can be very flexible on dates. So I would like a website which makes it easy to see which dates would be best to chose, rather than have to enter each date individually.

Can anyone tell me where I can find this?
Many thanks!

    Two cheap dates to fly in December out bound are the 24th on a through ticket that arrives on the 26th and also 31st. Flights on the 6th or before also seem to be cheapest.
    Skyscanner has good charts.

    I think the graph you remember is the one on Skyscanner.net.

    Skyscanner is good to compare options but try to book direct with the airline or a reputable agent rather than some of the various dubious and shonky OTAs that advertise on Skyscanner.

    Google flights also show a calendar view of flights by day so you can adjust to the cheapest day to fly on.
