Chart diagrams (also called matrix diagrams or tables) are a type of graphic organizer that condense and organize data about multiple traits associated with many items or topics. Charts can be used to show attributes of items, to compare and contrast topics, and to evaluate information.

For example, a chart can be used to create a display of arthropod characteristics. Or a chart can be used to show key inventions, noting who invented them, when, where and why they were invented. Or a chart can be used to compare and contrast the major features of plant and animal cells or to chart plant growth.

These charts are also useful for Semantic Feature Analysis, in which a grid is used to examine the similarities and differences of a group of items, people, events etc.
