LINE CHART
A line chart is a type of graph that displays
continuous data at regular intervals. It is
generally used to highlight the changes that
take place in a value through a specified
period of time. It is also known as a frequency
polygon.

AREA CHART
An area chart displays the quantitative
magnitude of the data graphically over the
course of time. It also depicts the relationship
of parts to a whole by displaying the sum of
plotted values. The area chart emphasises the
area between the line and the axis with the
help of the colours, textures, hatchings, etc.
These charts are based on the features of the
line chart.
PIE CHART
A pie chart is shaped like a circle divided into
slices, each slice showing the relative size of
each value. The pie chart only displays one
data series in the form of comparative charts.
It is useful when you want to emphasise a
significant element.
SCATTER CHART
A scatter chart is also known as XY scatter
plot chart. It shows the correlations between
the two sets of values. The X and Y axes are
used to represent the data plots on the chart.
