How to Make a Circle Graph
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to make circle graphs. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to make circle graphs for reference.
Overview
Circle graphs, also referred to as pi charts to avoid confusing them with graphs on the coordinate plane, are graphs in the shape of a circle that deal with a specific set of data. Circle graphs deal with percentages of a whole. The title of the circle graph is your whole, and the circle represents the whole. Then the circle is cut off into different percentages, and each is labelled with the proper category and exactly what percent it is meant to represent. Very often each section of the circle will be a different color to avoid confusion.

How to Make a Bar Graph
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to make bar graphs. Step by step tutorial including several examples on how to make a bar graph for reference.
Overview
A bar graph, also referred to as a bar chart as to not be confused with graphs on the coordinate plane, is a visual expression of a set of data. Bar graphs deal with the real numbers in specific data sets. Typically they are split up into more than one category. A bar is drawn on each category extending to the number associated with that category. Traditionally, bar graphs need to have a title, an assigned label to each axis, and a certain pattern to continue writing numbers in.
