ETYM A doublet of card: cf. French charte charter, carte card. Related to Card, Charter.
1. A map designed to assist navigation by air or sea.
2. A visual display of information.
A graphic or diagram that displays data or the relationships between sets of data in pictorial rather than numeric form.

In geometry, the locus of a point moving according to specified conditions. The circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a given point (the center). Other common geometrical curves are the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola, which are also produced when a cone is cut by a plane at different angles.
Many curves have been invented for the solution of special problems in geometry and mechanics—for example, the cissoid (the inverse of a parabola) and the cycloid.
1. A baseball thrown with spin so that its path curves as it approach the batter; SYN. curve ball, breaking ball, bender.
2. A line on a graph representing data.
3. The trace of a point whose direction of motion changes; SYN. curved shape. + prikaži više

Pictorial representation of numerical data, such as statistical data, or a method of showing the mathematical relationship between two or more variables by drawing a diagram.
There are often two axes, or reference lines, at right angles intersecting at the origin—the zero point, from which values of the variables (for example, distance and time for a moving object) are assigned along the axes. Pairs of simultaneous values (the distance moved after a particular time) are plotted as points in the area between the axes, and the points then joined by a smooth curve to produce a graph.
A drawing illustrating the relations between certain quantities plotted with reference to a set of axes; SYN. graphical record. + prikaži više

2. Fixed in one's purpose; SYN. bent on, dead set, intent on, out to.

4. Used especially of the head or upper back; SYN. bowed, inclined.

Not straight; having or marked by a curve or smoothly rounded bend; SYN. curving.
