Bar graph Bar graphs compare things between different groups or times. It compares data with bars of different heights. It also normally has space between the columns and this helps to distinguish between a bar graph and a histogram. This can be vertical or horizontal, but the most common used is a vertical bar graph.

Histograms Histograms are commonly mistaken as bar graphs. Histograms display a range of values and bar graphs display a different group in each column. Histograms dont even need to be column. An easier way to understand is; bar charts, the labels on the X axis are categorical and histograms the labels are quantitative.

Polar Area Chart I like to believe that a polar area chart is a more interesting version of a pie chart when you have a lot of information. The polar area charts can hold more information than a pie chart as well. A use example of the chart would be if you had each month of the year and you wanted to count the births in each month. You would increase the length of a month section to show the births.

Pie Chart/Ring These charts or rings show their data in a slide of a pie. The pie rings are just that, rings instead of the whole pie that shows data. Interestingly enough there have been times where pie charts have been square.

Tables When you need to have precision tables are better to use than any of the graphs. Tables allow information to be put side by side so you can read and compair information one at a time. This information is put into columns and rows to give our eyes an easier time when reading it.
