2. Misleading graph - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misleading_graph

   A truncated graph (also known as a torn graph) has a y axis that does not start at 0. These graphs can create the impression of important change where there is relatively little change. While truncated graphs can be used to overdraw differences or to save space, their use is often discouraged. Commercial software such as MS Excel will tend to ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don't_draw...

   Manipulation of the graph's X-axis can also mislead; see the graph to the right. Both graphs are technically accurate depictions of the data they depict, and do use 0 as the base value of the Y-axis; but the rightmost graph only shows the "trough"; so it would be misleading to claim it depicts typical data over that time period.

4. Horizon chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_chart

   The horizon chart is a variation of the area chart. Having established a horizontal axis, negative values are mirrored over the horizontal axis, while positive values retain their position. As an alternative approach, rather than reflecting negative values, they can be shifted so that the smaller value aligns with the horizontal axis.

5. Plot (graphics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(graphics)

   showing on a horizontal axis and on a vertical axis, where is a phase space trajectory. Scatterplot : A scatter graph or scatter plot is a type of display using variables for a set of data. The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the ...

6. Chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart

   A graph's title usually appears above the main graphic and provides a succinct description of what the data in the graph refers to. Dimensions in the data are often displayed on axes. If a horizontal and a vertical axis are used, they are usually referred to as the x-axis and y-axis.

7. Line chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_chart

   Line chart showing the population of the town of Pushkin, Saint Petersburg from 1800 to 2010, measured at various intervals. A line chart or line graph, also known as curve chart, [1] is a type of chart that displays information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. [2]

   · vertical-axis quantities (A/X) and · horizontal-axis quantities (X). Arithmetically: (A/X)*X=A for each bar. Instances: Mosaic plots (also known as Marimekko, or Mekko, charts) Projected (1) frequency and (2) intensity of extreme "10-year heat waves" are connected in pairs of horizontal and vertical bars, respectively.

9. Economic graph - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

   In most mathematical contexts, the independent variable is placed on the horizontal axis and the dependent variable on the vertical axis. For example, if f(x) is plotted against x, conventionally x is plotted horizontally and the value of the function is plotted vertically. This placement is often, but not always, reversed in economic graphs.
