Line Chart
A Line chart is used to show trends in data over a period
of time such as days, months, quarters, or years. In
it, categories are represented on the horizontal axis,
and the corresponding values are represented on
the vertical axis. It is useful to compare changes in
different sets of data over a period of time.

Pie Chart
A Pie chart is used to display the relationship of
individual data values to the sum of all the data
values in a given series. It represents data in the
form of a circle divided into various sectors. The
size of a sector is proportional to the percentage of
the data value it represents.

Bar Chart

A Bar chart is similar to a column chart, but it represents
categories on the vertical axis and the data values on the
horizontal axis. It is used when the values are larger and
cannot be represented on the vertical axis.

Area Chart
An Area chart is used to show the change in data values
over a period of time and displays the contribution of
each value to its total value. It represents categories
on the horizontal axis and data values on the vertical
axis.

X Y (Scatter) Chart
A Scatter chart is used to show the relationships
among numeric values in several data series, in
the form of XY coordinates, such as the height
and weight of students or the price and sales of
a product. One set of data values is represented
on the horizontal axis, and the other set is
represented on the vertical axis.
