 Types of Graph
• Bar graphs to show numbers that are independent of each other.
Example data might include things like the number of people who
preferred each of Chinese takeaways, Indian takeaways and fish and
chips.
• Pie charts to show you how a whole is divided into different parts.
You might, for example, want to show how a budget had been
spent on different items in a particular year.
• Line graphs show you how numbers have changed over time. They
are used when you have data that are connected, and to show
trends, for example, average night time temperature in each month
of the year.
• Surface Chart displays a set of three-dimensional data as a
mesh surface
