BAR, CIRCLE, AND LINE GRAPHS What Are Bar, Circle, and Line Graphs? Bar Graphs are used to compare data. A bar graph is used to show relationships between groups. Circle Graphs are also known as Pie graphs or charts. They consist of a circle divided into parts. The different parts show different amounts, sizes, or numbers of various data. The data is usually in percentages and plotted proportionally within a circle, meaning each portion of the circle will add up to 100% when added together. Line Graphs show gradual changes in data.
