Sounds like interview question...

When comparing a set of items side by side to show the quantitative behaviors, utilize bar charts.

Bar charts are classic diagrams that usually give a good picture of the data. Their main problem is that when there are many bars, labeling becomes problematic. Therefore, it is recommended to use a scroll-bar in the chart to display the first "n" bars. It is critical to sort by Y-value in that case.

They also imply that the data is discrete; if your data is something that is plausibly continuously changing over time, for instance, you might consider a line graph instead.
