Difference between charts and graphs
There is a very little difference between these two terms both are used to
embody visual and spatial elements that aid in our understanding and
interpreting the information.
Charts
Charts are usually used to represent
simple two variable data, such as Bar charts or pie charts. These can also be
used to refer quantities that refer complex data-dense maps.
Graphs
Graph is usually referred to be used
in some mathematical sense because it usually contains X, Y or Z-axis. In a
graph no data is represented without using axes and sometimes it is also divided
into grids for easier classification of data.
