Chart and Plot

It seems to me that a plot is also a chart and the graphical part of plot should be merged into this article. Also to be coordinated: Plotting, [[1]] and [[2]] Sbwoodside 06:01, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. This is a small stub & should probably be merged to plotting, as there is a lot of overlap. -- Karnesky 15:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

doughnut charts

I just discovered a new kind of chart I'd never seen: a doughnut chart [example http://www.bulletin.uwaterloo.ca/2001/may/17th.html] [example2 http://www.bulletin.uwaterloo.ca/2000/mar/24fr.html] [example3 http://www.nevron.com/Charting.aspx?nav=ChartGalleryNav&content=ChartDoughnut] [example4 http://ib005.k12.sd.us/Excel%20WebQuest/donut_chart.htm]. It seems to show a time series in a pie chart like format. Sbwoodside 21:03, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It can contain multiple series too. ~Sushi 07:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

flip flop charts

Does anyone know what a flip flop chart is? My science teacher told me to construct one, but I don't know what it is and it's not under chart —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.89.154.60 (talk • contribs) .

Maybe your teacher means a flip chart. However, that's more of a presentation aid than a chart in the sense of this article. -- Avenue 12:05, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Flip chart ≠flip flop chart. Totally different things. HyperSushi21 08:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

More Pictures

I'm trying to figure out what type of chart(?)/infographic I'm looking at, and I can't tell without going to every definition and reading about each one individually. I'd like to look at some generic examples, and then select which ones to investigate from there.

Agreed. This is a good article to use the gallery tag in. — Omegatron 01:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Maps

Contour lines and maps are a form of chart as well. — Omegatron 01:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
