Graph may refer to:
  • A graphic
    Information graphics
    Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education...

     (such as a chart
    Chart
    A chart is a graphical representation of data, in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart"...

     or diagram
    Diagram
    A diagram is a two-dimensional geometric symbolic representation of information according to some visualization technique. Sometimes, the technique uses a three-dimensional visualization which is then projected onto the two-dimensional surface...

    ) depicting the relationship between two or more variables used, for instance, in visualising scientific data.


In mathematics:
  • Graph (mathematics)
    Graph (mathematics)
    In mathematics, a graph is an abstract representation of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are connected by links. The interconnected objects are represented by mathematical abstractions called vertices, and the links that connect some pairs of vertices are called edges...

    , is a set of vertices and edges.
  • Graph theory
    Graph theory
    In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection. A "graph" in this context refers to a collection of vertices or 'nodes' and a collection of edges that connect pairs of...

  • Graph of a function
    Graph of a function
    In mathematics, the graph of a function f is the collection of all ordered pairs . In particular, if x is a real number, graph means the graphical representation of this collection, in the form of a curve on a Cartesian plane, together with Cartesian axes, etc. Graphing on a Cartesian plane is...



In computer science:
  • Graph (data structure)
    Graph (data structure)
    In computer science, a graph is an abstract data structure that is meant to implement the graph and hypergraph concepts from mathematics.A graph data structure consists of a finite set of ordered pairs, called edges or arcs, of certain entities called nodes or vertices...

    , an abstract data type representing relationships or connections
  • Graph (software)
    Graph (software)
    Graph is an open source program that can generate two dimensional plots of mathematical functions and data sets.-Features:Graph supports entering functions on regular cartesian as well as parametric and polar form. Functions can be traced and at a given coordinate the function value and the two...

    , the name of a software application for mathematical plotting
  • Conceptual graph
    Conceptual graph
    Conceptual graphs are a formalism for knowledge representation. In the first published paper on CGs, John F. Sowa used them to represent the conceptual schemas used in database systems...

    , a model for knowledge representation and reasoning


Other uses:
  • HMS Graph (P715)
    HMS Graph (P715)
    HMS Graph was a German Type VIIC U-boat used by the British Royal Navy during World War II.Commissioned as the U-570 in the German Kriegsmarine in mid-1941, she was attacked and captured on her first patrol....
