2D Pie Chart: A pie chart displays a series of data as "slices" of a "pie". The data in the pie chart will be divided up into slices, each represents a percentage of the pie. The size of the slice will be proportional to the data it represents and each slice will be combined to represent some whole value.

Standard Bar Chart: A bar chart displays data with rectangular "bars" with lengths relative to the data they symbolize. Generally a bar chart is used to display discontinuous data (data that has a discrete value), however it can also be used for continuous data. Examples of discontinuous data would be "car color" or "tire size", examples of continuous data would be "population" or "age".

Standard Area Chart: An area chart is very similar to a line chart. Data is displayed using different colors in the "area" below the line. Each series of points is represented with a different color. Area charts are commonly used to display accumulated values over a period of time

Pyramid Chart: The Pyramid chart displays a series of data in a pyramid shape. The size of the pyramid sections are all relative to each other and the order does not matter. You can have a "top heavy" pyramid where the largest section is the top section or any other combination.

Trend Lines: A Trend Line shows the the general direction that a set of data seem to be heading over a period of time.
