Graphs and other visual aids may suggest certain trends and relationships. I will use the word "plot" to cover all visual aids. A very common plot is the time plot, where we can observe changes in a variable over a period of time, such as birth rates, personal incomes or number of cars bought. Two or more variable can be plotted on the same plot, for instance the oil prices, gold, copper and silver over time is an interesting plot showing the effects of economic growth. We can plot one variable on the x axis and one on the y axis, to see the relationship between the two. For example, on the x-axis we may have people's income and on the y-axis, the level of education. Plots should be informative and lead to more evaluation of data. But there also misleading graphs. If I want to show that I am a good investor, perhaps I show only a period where my investments have gone up. Behind every plot, there should be data that can be verified. By studying descriptive statistics, which covers ways of visualizing data, we can better identify meaningful plots from deceptive ones.
circle graphs add up to 100% , bar and line graphs don't
a circle graph is in a circular form and represents your data using pieces inside of itbar graphs represents data using bars
These are the diagrams in which any length is taken into account.

Two dimensional graphs have two dimensions: x and y. Three dimensional graphs add a third dimension: z. These give the illusion of depth, while two dimensional graphs do not.
An advantage to using graphs and diagrams in presentations is that it is easy for your audience to see what you are describing. Graphs and diagrams help get your point across.

Smart Art is provides the facility to create a variety of charts, like organisational charts, flow charts etc. These charts are specialised, and customisable. So it is usually specialist users that will use a lot of them, though anyone can use them.
