However, there are common features that provide the chart with its ability to extract meaning from data. </p><p>Typically the data in a chart is represented graphically since humans can infer meaning from pictures more quickly than from text. Thus, the text is generally used only to annotate the data. </p><p>One of the most important uses of text in a graph is the <b>title</b>. A graph's title usually appears above the main graphic and provides a succinct description of what the data in the graph refers to. </p><p>Dimensions in the data are often displayed on <b><a href="/wiki/X_axis" class="mw-redirect" title="X axis">axes</a></b>. If a horizontal and a vertical axis are used, they are usually referred to as the x-axis and y-axis. Each axis will have a <b>scale</b>, denoted by periodic graduations and usually accompanied by numerical or categorical indications. Each axis will typically also have a label displayed outside or beside it, briefly describing the dimension represented. If the scale is numerical, the label will often be suffixed with the unit of that scale in parentheses. For example, "Distance traveled (m)" is a typical x-axis label and would mean that the distance traveled, in units of meters, is related to the horizontal position of the data within the chart. </p><p>Within the graph, a <b>grid</b> of lines may appear to aid in the visual alignment of data. The grid can be enhanced by visually emphasizing the lines at regular or significant graduations. The emphasized lines are then called major gridlines, and the remainder is minor grid lines. </p><p>A chart's data can appear in all manner of formats and may include individual textual <b>labels</b> describing the datum associated with the indicated position in the chart. The data may appear as dots or shapes, connected or unconnected, and in any combination of colors and patterns. In addition, inferences or points of interest can be overlaid directly on the graph to further aid information extraction. </p><p>When the data appearing in a chart contains multiple variables, the chart may include a <b>legend</b> (also known as a <b>key</b>). A legend contains a list of the variables appearing in the chart and an example of their appearance. This information allows the data from each variable to be identified in the chart. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Types">Types</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Chart&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Types" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Disputed plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-disputed" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This article's <b>factual accuracy is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute" title="Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute">disputed</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Relevant discussion may be found on the <a href="/wiki/Talk:Chart#Disputed" title="Talk:Chart">talk page</a>.
