Term Definition
Cartogram Diagrammatical representation of data with geographical location
Pictogram Pictorial representation of data (uses pictures/symbols)
Historigram Graph of time series (also called line graph)
Histogram Graphical representation of frequency distribution of a continuous variable
Frequency curve Joining the points of frequency polygon by a free-hand smoothed curve

Additional notes: Histogram is NOT a diagrammatic representation — it is a graph. Ogive = cumulative frequency curve. Less than and more than ogives always intersect at the Median.
