Bar graph
Bar graphs compare things between different groups
or times. It compares data with bars of different
heights. It also normally has space between the
columns and this helps to distinguish between a
bar graph and a histogram. This can be vertical or
horizontal, but the most common used is a vertical
bar graph.

Histograms
Histograms are commonly mistaken as bar graphs.
Histograms display a range of values and bar
graphs display a different group in each column.
Histograms dont even need to be column. An easier
way to understand is; bar charts, the labels on the
X axis are categorical and histograms the labels are
quantitative.

Polar Area Chart
I like to believe that a polar area chart is a more
interesting version of a pie chart when you have a lot
of information. The polar area charts can hold more
information than a pie chart as well. A use example
of the chart would be if you had each month of the
year and you wanted to count the births in each
month. You would increase the length of a month
section to show the births.

Pie Chart/Ring
These charts or rings show their data in a slide of
a pie. The pie rings are just that, rings instead of
the whole pie that shows data. Interestingly enough
there have been times where pie charts have been
square.

Tables
When you need to have precision tables are better to
use than any of the graphs. Tables allow information
to be put side by side so you can read and compair
information one at a time. This information is put
into columns and rows to give our eyes an easier
time when reading it.
