Graph vs. Tree — What's the Difference?

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.

In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only wood plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height.

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

A woody perennial plant, typically having a single stem or trunk growing to a considerable height and bearing lateral branches at some distance from the ground.

The spelling of a word.

A wooden structure or part of a structure.

Any of the possible forms of a grapheme.

A thing that has a branching structure resembling that of a tree.

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

(of an area) planted with trees

To plot (a function) on a graph.

A perennial woody plant having a main trunk and usually a distinct crown.

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.

An herbaceous plant or shrub resembling a tree in form or size.

(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

Something that resembles a tree in form, especially a diagram or arrangement that has branches showing relationships of hierarchy or lineage.

(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)

(Computers) A structure for organizing or classifying data in which every item can be traced to a single origin through a unique path.

(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 wooden beam, post, stake, or bar used as part of a framework or structure.

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 saddletree.

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 gallows.

(transitive) To draw a graph.

The cross on which Jesus was crucified.

To draw a graph of a function.

To force up a tree

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.

(Informal) To force into a difficult position; corner

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.

To supply or cover with trees

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

A perennial woody plant, not exactly defined, but differentiated from a shrub by its larger size (typically over a few meters in height) or growth habit, usually having a single (or few) main axis or trunk unbranched for some distance above the ground and a head of branches and foliage.

Represent by means of a graph;

Any plant that is reminiscent of the above but not classified as a tree (in any botanical sense).

Plot upon a graph

An object made from a tree trunk and having multiple hooks or storage platforms.

A device used to hold or stretch a shoe open.

The structural frame of a saddle.

(graph theory) A connected graph with no cycles or, if the graph is finite, equivalently a connected graph with n vertices and n−1 edges.

(computing theory) A recursive data structure in which each node has zero or more nodes as children.

(graphical user interface) A display or listing of entries or elements such that there are primary and secondary entries shown, usually linked by drawn lines or by indenting to the right.

Any structure or construct having branches representing divergence or possible choices.

The structure or wooden frame used in the construction of a saddle used in horse riding.

Marijuana.

(obsolete) A cross or gallows.

(chemistry) A mass of crystals, aggregated in arborescent forms, obtained by precipitation of a metal from solution.

(cartomancy) The fifth Lenormand card.

(transitive) To chase (an animal or person) up a tree.

(transitive) To place in a tree.

(transitive) To place upon a tree; to fit with a tree; to stretch upon a tree.

(intransitive) To take refuge in a tree.

Any perennial woody plant of considerable size (usually over twenty feet high) and growing with a single trunk.

Something constructed in the form of, or considered as resembling, a tree, consisting of a stem, or stock, and branches; as, a genealogical tree.
