Overview

Charts and graphs are the visual representation of a relationship between two or more items. They can show a trend over a period of time or an item's size in relation to the total. All these relationships can be displayed with bars, pies, lines, and scattered dots. Your charts can be flat or 3-D. PowerPoint can create some complex charts, but keep your audience in mind.
