Graph vs. Graphics — What's the Difference?

A chart used to convey information visually.

The art of creating visual content.

A visual representation of statistical data.

Visual artwork, designs, or illustrations.

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.

Computer-generated imagery or digital designs.

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

Images or designs used in visual communication.

The spelling of a word.

Graphics (from Greek γραφικός graphikos, "belonging to drawing") are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. In contemporary usage, it includes a pictorial representation of data, as in c manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational software.

Any of the possible forms of a grapheme.

(used with a sing. verb) The making of drawings in accordance with the rules of mathematics, as in engineering or architecture.

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

(used with a pl. verb) Calculations, as of structural stress, from such drawings.

To represent by a graph.

(used with a sing. or pl. verb) See graphic arts.

To plot (a function) on a graph.

(used with a sing. or pl. verb) The pictorial representation and manipulation of data, as used in computer-aided design and manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational programs.

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.

(used with a sing. verb) The process by which a computer displays data pictorially.

(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

The making of architectural or design drawings.

(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)

The graphic arts.

(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.

(computing) The pictorial representation and manipulation of data; the process by which a computer displays data.

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 $f$.

(computing) The art or visual representations displayed by a computer.

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.

The art or the science of drawing; esp. of drawing according to mathematical rules, as in perspective, projection, and the like.

(transitive) To draw a graph.

Photographs or other visual representations in a printed publication;

To draw a graph of a function.

The drawings and photographs in the layout of a book

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.

Visual elements in printed material or digital media.

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

Represent by means of a graph;

Plot upon a graph

A diagram showing the relationship between sets of numbers.

A mathematical representation of data.

A plot of values, often on x and y axes.

A graph is a visual representation of data, often showing relationships between variables.

While graphs are typically structured, creative design can be applied for visual appeal.

Graphics can be both computer-generated and hand-drawn.

Graphics are visual representations including artwork, designs, and digital images.

Yes, photographs can be considered a form of graphics, especially in design contexts.

Yes, there are 3D graphs that represent more complex data sets.

No, graphs are used in various fields including business, economics, and more.

Most graphs are based on numerical data but can also include textual information.

Yes, graphs like line graphs can represent multiple data sets for comparison.

Yes, animations are a form of graphics, particularly in digital media.

Graphics can be informational or purely aesthetic, depending on their purpose.

Yes, logos are a type of graphic design.

Labels are important for clarity but some simple graphs might not have them.

Certain types of graphs, like pie charts, don't require axes.

Yes, web design involves graphics for visual communication and user interface.
