How do you show comparisons on a graph?
If you want to compare values, use a pie chart — for relative comparison — or bar charts — for precise comparison. If you want to compare volumes, use an area chart or a bubble chart. If you want to show trends and patterns in your data, use a line chart, bar chart, or scatter plot.
How can I compare two graphs?
How to 'compare' graphs. In questions where you are asked to compare, you need to comment on both the similarities and differences. For example, to compare the graph in Figure 1 with the graph in Figure 2 you would say that as both independent variables increase so does the rate of photosynthesis.
What is the best graph for comparison?
Bar charts are good for comparisons, while line charts work better for trends. Scatter plot charts are good for relationships and distributions, but pie charts should be used only for simple compositions — never for comparisons or distributions.
What is the best chart for comparison and ranking?
Use a bar or column chart to compare independent values. We, as readers, are particularly good at comparing the length of bars in a bar chart (in contrast to the segments of a pie chart, for example), making bar and column charts the best charts for showing comparisons.
