This gallery shows:
* Stock market prices are often depicted with an [[open-high-low-close chart]] with a traditional bar chart of volume at the bottom.
* [[Candlestick chart]]s are another type of bar chart used to describe price movements of an equity over time.
* A [[Kagi chart]] is a time-independent stock tracking chart that attempts to minimise noise.
* Alternatively, where less detail is required, and chart size is paramount, a [[Sparkline]] may be used.

Other examples:
* Interest rates, temperatures, etc., at the close of the period are plotted with a line chart.
* Project planners use a [[Gantt chart]] to show the timing of tasks as they occur over time.
