Graph (visual representation)
Term used in various domains of activity to represent a visual representation mode. A graph can then be either a diagram, a drawing, or a support aimed to design a visual representation.
In mathematics, we find statistical graphs, Cartesian graphs, and graphs used in the context of the graph theory. In computer science, flowcharts are also considered as visual representations of operational processes, whereas computers, touch screen tablets and smartphones have graphic interfaces powered by graphics processors.
Examples
