Recording on graphs
Charting is the activity of making charts—visual representations of data or navigational maps.
In medical contexts, charting means recording patient information: The nurse spent an hour charting after her shift.
In music, charting refers to a song's placement on popularity rankings: The single is charting in twelve countries.
Stock traders speak of charting when analyzing price movements through graphs.
