Abstract: Abstract The most important function of science of statistics is to simplify the complexity of quantitative data and to make them easily understandable. Numeric figures are usually avoided by common man, but pictures, diagrams, and graphs always attract our attention. Diagrams and graphs give a “birds’ eye view” to the entire mass of statistical data that have been collected about any hypothesis. Characteristics of diagrams and rules for drawing these have been discussed with limitations and use of these. There are a variety of diagrams like dimensional drawings, pictograms, cartograms, graphs, curves, and circles or pie diagrams, which have great utility in the presentation of data.
