A way of displaying data using pictures or icons, where each picture represents one unit (or a set number of units), and the total for each category is found by counting or multiplying the number of pictures by the scale value.
Imagine voting for your favorite fruit by placing a sticker in a column. When you're done, the column with the most stickers is the winner—you can see the answer at a glance.
