Graphs can mislead people by the way they are prepared. See related links for good examples of misleading graphs. When you see a graph, you are seeing a summary of the data. Sometimes our data is misleading, so the graph is just presenting misleading data. For example, I show a graph of how much men and women make each year at a company. I see men make more every year, while women just stay about the same. Perhaps the company just has one woman working there. Perhaps in her job, there are no salary increases. I can also not start the y-axis at zero, to exagerrate the differences. A chart should include all the data. Excluding some data can result in a misleading graph. However, in a graph showing changes over period of time, the preparer of the graph has to chose how long a period is relavent. If we are explaining global warming, a plot showing 100 years might be good. But a graph of car accidents per year, perhaps 5 years is more reasonable.

What are the 'dos' and 'don'ts' of constructing your graphs?
When constructing graphs, ensure to clearly label axes and include a descriptive title to convey the purpose effectively. Use appropriate scales and intervals to accurately represent the data without distortion. Avoid cluttering the graph with excessive colors or elements that can confuse the viewer. Do not manipulate data presentation to mislead or misrepresent the findings, as clarity and honesty are essential for effective communication.

What are the relations to each type of graphs?
Graphs can be categorized into various types, including directed and undirected graphs, weighted and unweighted graphs, and cyclic and acyclic graphs. Directed graphs have edges with a specific direction, while undirected graphs have edges that do not have a direction. Weighted graphs assign values to edges, indicating costs or distances, whereas unweighted graphs treat all edges equally. Cyclic graphs contain at least one cycle, while acyclic graphs do not, which is crucial in applications like tree structures and scheduling problems.
