# Charts

## What is a Chart?

Charts are essential data visualization tools in Squirrel. A chart, also known as a graph, is used to quickly and effectively present the relationship between two or more sets of data that the audience can easily understand and remember. They have numerous uses, as many businesses rely on data to assess priorities and formulate strategies.\
\
Examples of chart usage include evaluating overall sales and expenses over a period of time, as well as more specific instances like monitoring orders fulfilled per hour by a service at a specific location.\
\
In addition to simplifying large and complex sets of data, charts can be customized and visually enhanced to make the data more understandable. Using design elements such as axis banding, coloured categories, or even font size can impact the viewer's perception of the data.
