Components of a Graph
Components of a Graph
| 1 | Graph
a visual representation
of data. The graph can contain titles, footnotes, legends, and one
or more cells that have one or more plots.
|
| 2 | Cell
a distinct rectangular
subregion of a graph that can contain plots, text, and legends.
|
| 3 | Title
descriptive text that
is displayed above any cell or plot areas in the graph.
|
| 4 | Plot
a visual representation
of data such as a scatter plot, a series line, a bar chart, or a histogram.
Multiple plots can be overlaid in a cell to create a graph.
|
| 5 | Legend
refers collectively
to the legend border, one or more legend entries (where each entry
has a symbol and a corresponding label) and an optional legend title.
|
| 6 | Axis
refers collectively
to the axis line, the major and minor tick marks, the major tick mark
values, and the axis label. Each cell has a set of axes that are shared
by all the plots in the cell. In multi‐cell graphs, the columns
and rows of cells can share common axes if the cells have the same
data type.
|
| 7 | Footnote
descriptive text that
is displayed below any cell or plot areas in the graph.
