Category
The Category object is a part the BusinessGraphics UI Element and describes the type of graphical representation. Categories of a chart are a discrete value range or an unsorted set of objects - such as January, February, March, and so on - that do not have a distance term and therefore have no relation to each other. In a vertical bar chart, the categories are displayed next to each other in columns with the categories on the x-axis and the values on the y-axis. This enables the user to compare individual categories - for example, the sales figures for each month of one year.
Unlike the simple category-based charts such as vertical bar charts, the more complex scatter charts and portfolio charts do not contain categories.
A pie chart represents all categories of a data series.
