chart
Information made visual
A chart is a visual display of information—a diagram, graph, or table that organizes data for quick comprehension: a pie chart, a flow chart, an organizational chart.
In navigation, a chart is a map showing coastlines, depths, and hazards: nautical chart.
The charts are ranked lists of popular music: The song topped the charts for three weeks.
To chart is to map, record, or plan: chart a course, chart your progress.
