Pie  Chart:   It is a circular chart divided into sectors
                 where each  sector  shows the  relative  size  of each  value. It
                 always shows only one data series. It is useful when you want
                 to emphasise  on a significant element.






                                                                  Bar Chart:  The bar chart displays the data in the
                                                             form of long rectangular rods also called bars. These bars
                                                             can be placed horizontally on the chart area. It illustrates
                                                             the  comparisons  amongst  the  individual  items.  In this
                                                             chart,  categories  are  represented  on  the  vertical  axis

                                                             and values are represented on the horizontal axis.




                      Area Chart: It is used to display the quantitative
                 magnitude  of  the data  graphically. These charts are
                 based on the features of the line chart. They basically

                 emphasise the area between the line and the axis with
                 the help of the colours, textures, pictures, etc.

                                                           XY scatter plot charts. These charts show the correlations
                                                           between the two sets of values. The x and y axes are used

                                                           to represent the data plots on the chart.
