Chart vs. Graph — What's the Difference?

A diagrammatic representation of data.

A diagrammatic method to show data distribution.

A graphical depiction aiding in understanding complex information.

A tool to analyze and interpret data trends.

A chart is a graphical representation for data visualization, in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart". A chart can represent tabular numeric data, functions or some kinds of quality structure and provides different info.

A visual plot of data points on a coordinate system.

A sheet of information in the form of a table, graph, or diagram

A diagram representing relationships between data sets using points on axes.

Make a map of (an area)

A diagram that exhibits a relationship, often functional, between two sets of numbers as a set of points having coordinates determined by the relationship. Also called plot.

(of a record) sell enough copies to enter the music charts at a particular position

A pictorial device, such as a pie chart or bar graph, used to illustrate quantitative relationships. Also called chart.

A map showing coastlines, water depths, or other information of use to navigators.

The spelling of a word.

An outline map on which specific information, such as scientific data, can be plotted.

Any of the possible forms of a grapheme.

A sheet presenting information in the form of graphs or tables.

A written character that represents a vowel, consonant, syllable, word, or other expression and that cannot be further analyzed.

See graph1.

To represent by a graph.

Often charts A listing of best-selling recorded music or other items

To plot (a function) on a graph.

To make a chart of.

A data chart (graphical representation of data) intended to illustrate the relationship between a set (or sets) of numbers (quantities, measurements or indicative numbers) and a reference set, whose elements are indexed to those of the former set(s) and may or may not be numbers.

To plan (something) in detail

(mathematics) A set of points constituting a graphical representation of a real function; (formally) a set of tuples $(x\_1,\; x\_2,\; \backslash ldots,\; x\_m,\; y)\backslash in\backslash R^\{m+1\}$, where $y=f(x\_1,\; x\_2,\; \backslash ldots,\; x\_m)$ for a given function $f:\; \backslash R^m\backslash rightarrow\backslash R$. See also Graph of a function Category:en:Curves Category:en:Functions

To be ranked on a chart of best-selling items

(graph theory) A set of vertices (or nodes) connected together by edges; (formally) an ordered pair of sets $(V,E)$, where the elements of $V$ are called vertices or nodes and $E$ is a set of pairs (called edges) of elements of $V$. See also Graph (discrete mathematics)

A map.

(topology) A topological space which represents some graph (ordered pair of sets) and which is constructed by representing the vertices as points and the edges as copies of the real interval [0,1] (where, for any given edge, 0 and 1 are identified with the points representing the two vertices) and equipping the result with a particular topology called the graph topology.

A map illustrating the geography of a specific phenomenon.

A morphism $\backslash Gamma\_f$ from the domain of $f$ to the product of the domain and codomain of $f$, such that the first projection applied to $\backslash Gamma\_f$ equals the identity of the domain, and the second projection applied to $\backslash Gamma\_f$ is equal to $f$.

A navigator's map.

A graphical unit on the token-level, the abstracted fundamental shape of a character or letter as distinct from its ductus (realization in a particular typeface or handwriting on the instance-level) and as distinct by a grapheme on the type-level by not fundamentally distinguishing meaning.

A systematic non-narrative presentation of data.

(transitive) To draw a graph.

A tabular presentation of data; a table.

To draw a graph of a function.

A diagram.

A curve or surface, the locus of a point whose coördinates are the variables in the equation of the locus; as, a graph of the exponential function.

A graph.

A diagram symbolizing a system of interrelations of variable quantities using points represented by spots, or by lines to represent the relations of continuous variables. More than one set of interrelations may be presented on one graph, in which case the spots or lines are typically distinguishable from each other, as by color, shape, thickness, continuity, etc. A diagram in which relationships between variables are represented by other visual means is sometimes called a graph, as in a bar graph, but may also be called a chart.

A record of a patient's diagnosis, care instructions, and recent history.

A drawing illustrating the relations between certain quantities plotted with reference to a set of axes

A ranked listing of competitors, as of recorded music.

Represent by means of a graph;

A written deed; a charter.

Plot upon a graph

Synonym of coordinate chart.

A mathematical representation of data.

(transitive) To draw a chart or map of.

(transitive) To draw or figure out (a route or plan).

(transitive) To record systematically.

To appear on a hit-recording chart.

A sheet of paper, pasteboard, or the like, on which information is exhibited, esp. when the information is arranged in tabular form; as, an historical chart.

A map; esp., a hydrographic or marine map; a map on which is projected a portion of water and the land which it surrounds, or by which it is surrounded, intended especially for the use of seamen; as, the United States Coast Survey charts; the English Admiralty charts.

A written deed; a charter.

To lay down in a chart; to map; to delineate; as, to chart a coast.

A visual display of information

A map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

Make a chart of;

Plan in detail;

Represent by means of a graph;

A visual representation of information.

A structured layout of information.

A visual tool for organizing and presenting data.

A visual representation of data or information in various formats.

A specific type of chart that plots data points on axes to show relationships.

A pie chart showing percentages of a whole.

A chart can be any visual data representation, while a graph specifically plots data on axes.

To visually present data in a structured or organized manner.

A line graph showing temperature changes over a week.

No, but all graphs are types of charts.

Line graphs, bar graphs, scatter plots, and histograms.

They visualize trends, correlations, and distributions, making data interpretation clearer.

Yes, a graph is a type of chart.

Consider the data's nature, your audience, and the message you want to convey.

No, charts can represent both quantitative and qualitative data.

To visually represent relationships, trends, or distributions in data.

Use a chart for general data visualization and a graph for plotting data relationships.
