Visual presentation of data using icons, pictures, symbols,

etc., in place of or in addition to common graph elements

(bars, lines, points). Pictographs use relative sizes or
repetitions of the same icon, picture, or symbol to show
comparison. Also called pictogram, pictorial chart, pictorial
graph, or picture graph.
Proportional area chart used almost exclusively in showing
relative sizes of the components of a data-set, in comparison
to one another and to the whole set. It consists of a circle
(disc) divided into several (usually not exceeding six)
segments. Area of each segment (called slice or wedge) is of
the same percentage of the circle as the component it
represents is of the whole data set. Most important segment
is commonly shown in the '12 o'clock' position with each
successive less important segment following in a clockwise
direction. Also called circle diagram, circle graph, pizza
chart, or sector graph
Definition: A bar graph displays data visually and is
sometimes called a bar chart or a bar graph. Data is
displayed either horizontally or vertically and allows viewers
to compare items displayed. Data displayed will relate to
things like amounts, characteristics, times and frequency etc.
A bar graph displays information in a way that helps us to
make generalizations and conclusions quickly and easily. A
typical bar graph will have a label, axis, scales and bars. Bar
graphs are used to display all kinds of information such as,

numbers of females versus males in a school, sales of items

during particular times of a year. Bar graphs are ideal for
comparing two or more values.The image shows a bar graph
about the favorite seasons of the boys and girls in a class.
The blue represents the fall, the red represents the winter, the
green represents the spring and the purple represents the fall.
At a glance, you can see that the favorite season among the
girls is summer and the boys is fall. The least favorite season
for both girls and boys is winter. On the left side of the graph
are numbers that represent how many students were
surveyed. Numbers of students are represented on the x axis
and the y axis shows the genders.When interpreting a bar
chart, look at the tallest bar and look at the shortest bar. Look
at the titles, look for inconsistencies and ask why they are
there. There are three types of bar graph. They are: 1
Single: 2. Grouped 3.Stacked.They are also known as:
bar charts and bar graph.
A chart or a graph is a pictorial representation of data.
Charts and graphs are used to display detailed information
and relationships between quantitative data. Examples of
charts include bar graphs, pie charts, histograms and timeseries graphs.
