CHARTS AND GRAPHS

Charts and graphs are visual ways to display data. Some examples of charts and graphs include line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, histograms, flowcharts, and maps.

At a minimum, an effective chart or graph should be clear (that is, uncluttered and readable) and concise and should require little or no explanation. It should also include a title, legend, and date.

Charts and graphs provide many benefits. They can communicate information more effectively than text and can display information more compactly. They also ease analysis and evaluation.
