Classification

This gallery shows:

  • Bar/Column chart - uses bars/columns to show frequencies or values for different categories.
  • Line chart - two-dimensional Scatterplot of ordered observations where the observations are connected following their order.
  • Pie chart - shows percentage values as a slice of a pie.
  • Area chart - line chart which displays graphically quantitive data. The area between axis and line are commonly emphasized with colors, textures and hatchings.
  • Scatter plot - type of mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values as collection of points for two variables for a set of data.
  • Circular charts - Radar chart (Spider chart) or Polar chart is a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point.
  • Accumulation charts - Pyramid (Cone) or Funnel chart displays data that, when combined, equals 100%.
  • Tree/Heat map - chart where the areas of the rectangles correspond to values. Other dimensions can be represented with colour or hue.
  • Finance chart - stock market prices are often depicted with an open-high-low-close chart with a traditional bar chart of volume at the bottom.
  • Cartogram chart is a map in which some thematic mapping variable – such as population, economic etc. – is substituted for land area.
  • Gantt chart - helps in scheduling complex projects.
  • Dependency graph is a directed graph representing dependencies of several objects towards each other.
  • Nomogram - a two-dimensional diagram designed to allow the approximate graphical computation of a function: it uses a coordinate system other than Cartesian coordinates.
  • Organizational chart is a diagram that shows the structure of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and positions/jobs.
  • Flow chart - a diagram, that represents an algorithm or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting these with arrows.
