Remarks

A chart is a type of information graphic or graphic organizer that represents tabular numeric data and/or functions. Chart is often used to make it easier to understand large quantities of data and the relationship between different parts of the data. Char can usually be read more quickly than the raw data that they come from.

Certain ChartTypes are more useful for presenting a given data set than others. For example, data that presents percentages in different groups (such as "satisfied, not satisfied, unsure") are often displayed in a Pie chart, but are more easily understood when presented in a horizontal Bar chart. On the other hand, data that represents numbers that change over a period of time (such as "annual revenue from 1990 to 2000") might be best shown as a Line chart.
