Data markers of the same colour constitute a data series. The data series are related data points that are plotted in the chart/ graph. Each data series in a chart is shown in a unique colour or pattern or both. Its identification is given by the legend. There may be more than one data series in a chart/graph.

  • A chart and axes titles: Descriptive text for chart title and axis title.
  • A data label: This provides additional information about a data marker to identify the details of data point in a data series.
