Direct graph.

  • A graph is a pictorial representation of a set of node where some pairs of nodes  are connected by links. 
  • The interconnected objects are represented by points termed as vertices, and the links that connect the vertices are called edges.

Basic Operations: 

  • Add Vertex − Adds a vertex to the graph.

  • Add Edge − Adds an edge between the two vertices of the graph.

  • Display Vertex − Displays a vertex of the graph. Some of the  Advantage of direct graph. 
  • Graph can be created proportionally to the quantity it needs to represent
  • Displays multiple classes of data in one chart
  • Puts large sums of data into visual form for easy understanding
  • More visually appealing than other graphs
  • Offers easy calculations of data accuracy
  • Requires little explanation
  • Understood easily by different departments within a business and for media purposes.                    Disadvantages of direct graph
  • Doesn't reveal exact values
  • Multiple graphs are needed for time-lapse data
  • Key assumptions, causes, effect, and patterns are not revealed
  • Manipulated easily, causing false impressions or interpretations.
