Image vs. Graph — What's the Difference?

An image (from Latin: imago) is an artifact that depicts visual perception, such as a photograph or other two-dimensional picture, that resembles a subject—usually a physical object—and thus provides a depiction of it. In the context of signal processing, an image is a distributed amplitude of color(s).

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.

A representation of the external form of a person or thing in art

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

The general impression that a person, organization, or product presents to the public

The spelling of a word.

A simile or metaphor

Any of the possible forms of a grapheme.

Make a representation of the external form of

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

A representation of the form of a person or object, such as a painting or photograph.

To represent by a graph.

A sculptured likeness.

To plot (a function) on a graph.

(Physics) An optically formed duplicate, counterpart, or other representative reproduction of an object, especially an optical reproduction formed by a lens or mirror.

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.

One that closely or exactly resembles another

(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

Likeness; semblance

(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 opinion or concept of something that is held by the public

(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.

The concept or character projected to the public, as by a person or institution, especially as interpreted by the mass media

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 typical example or embodiment

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 mental picture of something not real or present

(transitive) To draw a graph.

A vivid description or representation in words, especially a metaphor or simile

To draw a graph of a function.

(Mathematics) A set of values of a function corresponding to a particular subset of a domain.

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.

(Computers) An exact replica of the contents of a storage device, such as a hard disk, stored on a second storage device, such as a network server.

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.

(Obsolete) An apparition.

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

To make or produce a likeness of

Represent by means of a graph;

To mirror or reflect

Plot upon a graph

To make a visual representation of (an object) using remote scanning or technology such as magnetic resonance imaging

To symbolize or typify

To picture mentally; imagine or visualize

To describe, especially so vividly as to evoke a mental picture

To print (a file) using a laser printer, imagesetter, direct-to-plate press, or similar device.

To transmit (an exact replica of the contents of a storage device) to another storage device

An optical or other representation of a real object; a graphic; a picture.

A mental picture of something not real or not present.

A statue or idol.

(computing) A file that contains all information needed to produce a live working copy. (See disk image and image copy.)

A characteristic of a person, group or company etc., style, manner of dress, how one is or wishes to be perceived by others.

(mathematics) What a function maps to.

(mathematics) The subset of a codomain comprising those elements that are images of something.

(radio) A form of interference: a weaker "copy" of a strong signal that occurs at a different frequency.

(obsolete) Show; appearance; cast.

(transitive) To represent by an image or symbol; to portray.

(transitive) To reflect, mirror.

(transitive) To create an image of.

To create a complete backup copy of a file system or other entity.

An imitation, representation, or similitude of any person, thing, or act, sculptured, drawn, painted, or otherwise made perceptible to the sight; a visible presentation; a copy; a likeness; an effigy; a picture; a semblance.

Hence: The likeness of anything to which worship is paid; an idol.

Show; appearance; cast.

A representation of anything to the mind; a picture drawn by the fancy; a conception; an idea.

A picture, example, or illustration, often taken from sensible objects, and used to illustrate a subject; usually, an extended metaphor.

The figure or picture of any object formed at the focus of a lens or mirror, by rays of light from the several points of the object symmetrically refracted or reflected to corresponding points in such focus; this may be received on a screen, a photographic plate, or the retina of the eye, and viewed directly by the eye, or with an eyeglass, as in the telescope and microscope; the likeness of an object formed by reflection; as, to see one's image in a mirror.

To represent or form an image of; as, the still lake imaged the shore; the mirror imaged her figure.

To represent to the mental vision; to form a likeness of by the fancy or recollection; to imagine.

An iconic mental representation;

A visual representation (of an object or scene or person or abstraction) produced on a surface;

(Jungian psychology) a personal facade that one presents to the world;

A standard or typical example;

Language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense

Someone who closely resembles a famous person (especially an actor);

A representation of a person (especially in the form of sculpture);

Imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind;
