Types of Charts
Charts are primarily of 3 different types:
- Single Series Charts
- Multi-Series Charts
- Others
The other charts correspond to various different charts that do not fall into the single or multi series charts. The single series charts use a simple x-axis and y-axis plot. The multi-series charts use x-axis and y-axis plots but the y-axis is further split into an extra axis referred to as a stack on the y-axis.
