ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Plot (graphics)

A plot is a way to show information in a picture. Imagine you have a yummy cake, and you want to show your friends how much they will like the cake. You can show them by making a picture of the cake and a graph that shows how much your friends like different kinds of cake.

The graph has two parts: the horizontal part and the vertical part. The horizontal part shows the different kinds of cake, like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. The vertical part shows how much your friends like each kind of cake.

You can draw a line or a bar for each kind of cake to show how much your friends like it. The line or bar goes up or down depending on whether they like it a lot or a little.

A plot can help you understand information better, like how much your friends like different kinds of cake. So, if you want to show something in a picture, you can use a plot to do it!
