Numbers ’09: About charts

Use a chart when you want to visually represent trends or relationships that may be more difficult to see when data is presented in a table. In Numbers you can choose from a variety of 2D or 3D chart types to present your data, including pie charts, line charts, bar charts, column charts, and area charts, depending on which works best to make the point with your data, or use a mixed chart to overlay two chart types within the same figure. You can also graph your data in a two-dimensional scatter chart, using linear or logarithmic scales.
