How To Describe Images

This document defines and describes different types of charts, graphs, and tables used to visualize data. It explains that charts make data relationships easier to understand by showing how two or more data sets are related. The two main types of charts are pie charts, which show percentages, and bar charts, which use columns to compare data sets. Graphs use lines or curves to show numeric relationships over time. Tables organize raw numbers and facts into rows and columns for analysis. Trends show changes in data over periods of time and can be described using verbs like "increase", "decline", or adjectives like "slow", "sharp", or "massive".
