graphs
Diagrams with axes
Graphs are visual representations of data or mathematical relationships.
A line graph tracks change over time; a bar graph compares quantities.
In mathematics, a graph plots points and lines on coordinate axes to show how variables relate: The graph of y = x² forms a parabola.
To graph something is to represent it this way.
In technical contexts, a graph is also a network of nodes connected by edges.
