Chart
Elementary
A chart is a picture that presents information.
Examples
Examples
- A bar graph of monthly rainfall Elementary
-
A pie chart
Elementary
A pie chart is a chart because it displays data.
-
A scatter plot of height vs. weight
Elementary
A scatter plot is a plot, and a chart, because it displays data on coordinate axes.
Notes
A chart does not need coordinates: a pie chart has none. In differential geometry, a “chart” is something else entirely: a coordinate map on part of a manifold.
